Every Work Order, Proven on the Asset — Crew, Time, Photos, GPS
For the operations coordinator who has to show the client and the regulator that the pole, valve or meter set was actually worked, when, and by whom. Works in vaults and rural substations with no signal.

A crew day on the distribution system
From the morning dispatch to the closed work order with evidence — as the coordinator and the crew live it.
Work orders dispatched per crew
The coordinator assigns the day: a pole change-out, valve exercising on a main, a leak survey follow-up. Each work order sits on its asset on the map, with priority, due date and the form that job type requires.
Arrival recorded, job briefing filled
GPS records the crew's arrival at the pole. The foreman runs the job briefing on the phone — hazards, PPE, grounding, energized or de-energized — with every crew member listed on it.
Before, asset tag, after
Photos of the asset before the work, the nameplate or tag, and the finished job — coordinates, time and author inside each file, attached to that asset's record. Parts used and crew hours logged on the same screen.
Occurrence logged, new work order
A hot connector, a tree in the right-of-way, gas odor at a meter set. Logged as an occurrence with photo and priority; the coordinator sees it on the map as soon as the phone reconnects and turns it into a work order.
Closed work orders, ready for the client
Work orders closed today, per crew, with hours and evidence. One PDF per work order or a batch for the invoice backup. The asset keeps the visit in its history.
Sound familiar?
The work gets done. Proving it is where the day goes.
The invoice comes back with units rejected
Unit-price contract, 30 work orders a day per crew. The utility's auditor wants a before and after photo with the asset ID on every unit. The photos are in the foreman's phone, with no time and no coordinates — the unit gets cut from the invoice.
A customer complaint and you have to prove the crew was there
The complaint says nobody showed up. The work order says complete. Without an arrival time tied to that address you argue with a customer instead of closing the file with the commission.
Asset history lives in the truck
When was that valve last exercised? When did that transformer get changed out? The answer is in a binder, a spreadsheet nobody maintains, or the memory of the lineman who retires in June.
A tree takes out a feeder and nobody can find the trim records
The outage counts against SAIDI and SAIFI. The regulator asks when that span was last cleared. The vegetation contractor's report is a PDF with a total, not a map of what was cut.
Vaults, regulator stations and the far end of the territory have no signal
The form app needs internet. So the crew writes on paper and someone re-types it back at the ops center. That someone is you.
What the utility and the regulator ask you to prove
Each requirement and the capability that answers it — recorded as the crew works, not reconstructed the night before the audit.
Each work order completed on the right asset, when, and by which crew
Utility client · unit-price invoice backup
GPS arrival per crew member, before and after photos with coordinates and time inside the file, assignee and status on the work order, one PDF per order.
Job briefing before each job, with hazards, PPE and crew present
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 · Job briefing
A form per job type with required fields, filled on the phone before work starts; time, location and author recorded automatically and kept in the asset's history.
Arrival and restoration times per outage event
State PUC / PSC · SAIDI and SAIFI reporting
Occurrences logged with GPS and photo; each entry keeps the real time it was filled, even offline, so the timeline holds up when a complaint is reviewed.
Vegetation clearance on the right-of-way, span by span
Utility vegetation management plan · ROW
The span is a folder with its area on the map — walk it and the area is drawn by GPS. Before and after photos are georeferenced, so the cycle can be shown for that exact stretch of line.
Leak survey, repair and follow-up records on distribution mains
PHMSA 49 CFR 192 · Distribution integrity
Each main segment or meter set is an asset with its own history: survey form, leak grade recorded as a field, repair photos and the follow-up work order.
Labor hours, location and work performed per crew for storm cost recovery
FEMA Public Assistance · Storm restoration
Timesheet per person per site with labor cost, daily GPS route, photos and expenses with receipt — exported as PDF per storm folder.
Built for utility field operations
Six things a utility or a contractor needs from a field app — nothing pretending to be your GIS or your OMS.
Your service territory, asset by asset
Upload the feeders, mains and poles from your GIS as Shapefile, KML or GeoJSON. Every pole, transformer, valve and meter set is a record with its own history of work orders, photos and forms.
Work orders on the crew's phone
Assignee, priority, due date, status. Forms per job type — pole change-out, valve exercising, leak repair — with required fields and voice dictation for the notes.
Works in vaults and dead zones
Forms, photos, hours and GPS are saved on the phone and sync when the signal returns, keeping the time they were filled.
Evidence that survives the audit
Photos carry coordinates, altitude, date, time and author inside the file. Reports come out as PDF from what was recorded, with a review and approval step before anything counts as done.
Jos.IA builds the forms in your vocabulary
Tell it your asset types, job codes and inspection items; it sets up templates, fields and groups in about 90 seconds. Ask it later how many hours a crew logged this week.
Crew hours and site presence
Daily route per person, automatic arrival and departure per site, with consent. Hours per person per site with labor cost, hidden from the profiles that should not see it.
Build intervention reports for any asset type
Define custom report templates for transformers, valves, pumps, substations — any asset in your network. Each report type captures the exact data your maintenance protocols require.
