Vettro 360 for Damage Prevention

Take the guess work out of your Locate Requests –
Streamline your operations by reducing over-notifications.

The Vettro 360 application for Damage Prevention lets organizations supporting the utility industry leverage standard Sprint wirelessdevices to dramatically improve the communication of accurate site information within their organization. The Vettro 360 solution also allows workers to submit field-generated locate requests from their phones directly into One-Call Centers.

Using the Vettro application, the field worker can capture and submit GPS coordinates and jobsite information while at the proposed excavation site. The user simply walks the desired excavation area and captures accurate GPS-based latitude/longitude coordinates using their wireless device. Whether collecting a single point bull's-eye, walking a straight line, or a complex multiple point site perimeter - your field staff can now capture and submit accurate information, complete with GPS coordinates, directly into the on-line ticket entry system - right from their wireless device.

Pricing: $30 user/month
