Challenge Utilities Face
We built iTOA to help you not only eliminate these challenges but help make your staff happier
Multiple Data Sources
You have a logging system, an access database, excel sheets, word documents, everything in different places and nowhere to consolidate.
Incorrectly Entered or Illegible Data
Verifying, retrieving, searching, and emailing back and forth to correct incorrect entries with no single source of reference.
Archaic In-House Built System
It’s hard to maintain an in-house built software and eventually, when workforce changes, there’s no one to manage the application or it becomes expensive to support it.
Reinventing the Wheel
Many utilities face the same challenges. With building one’s own system, you don’t learn how efficiencies can be gained and how other utilities are dealing with the same problems.
Manual Entry and Manual Reporting
Time wasted updating multiple data sources, searching for the right data to manually put into Compliance and Management reports.
Increased Risk of Human Error
It’s hard to get an overview of the work happening and with so many manual entries, it’s easy to miss something.
Lack of Transparency
No system to log into from anywhere, and relying on email and phone to track work to be performed.
Retiring Workforce
Need to streamline processes and workflow as most of the manual processes are kept in people’s heads. Training becomes an issue, and the company is always looking for more efficient methods.
Benefits of iTOA
iTOA streamlines and simplifies your overall System Control processes, reducing redundancy and duplication, saving your company valuable time and money.
Integrated Audit Trail System
Timestamp and date for actions and changes made in the system that’s auditable and easy to find the person who made a change.
Access iTOA Everywhere
iTOA is a web-enabled application allowing users to access iTOA from any location equipped with network access in a safe and secure manner, across devices.
Reduce Human Error and Double Entry
Automate tasks by having inter-linkage, set submission rules, and have set validations in the system.
Flexible and Fast Reporting and Querying
Fast reporting, querying capabilities, send out reports directly from the system. Automate redundant tasks and set up auto-run reports for metrics and visual dashboards.
Easy Maintenance and Application Support
Web-based and easy maintenance. We provide long-term support and show you best practices from other utilities and how they manage challenges. Upgrades and adding enhancements is accomplished seamlessly when updates are rolled out.
