Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled
environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many

Release 1
Appointment Booking
Use Case –
Liz, the customer service representative, looks up John’s address and selects the
appropriate Job Plan for the required work. She looks up available appointment slots based
on staffing and other commitments made. Liz provides John a few dates to choose from.
Liz and John book Wednesday 10 AM. (The appointment can be rescheduled, if required).
This process automatically creates a scheduled work order for John’s premise and is ready
for a Supervisor to assign technician(s) to.
14
Release 1
Use Case –
Liz, the customer service representative, determines that this will be a half
day job that requires both indoor and outdoor work. She looks up available
appointment slots.
15
Release 1
Weather Integration (Graphical Scheduling)
Use Case -
From the daily forecast view, he elects to open the hourly view for the duration of the work. He feels confident that the crew can
travel to, perform the required work, and return back without an adverse weather impact.
Joe now approves the work and commits the scheduled dates.
16
Release 1
Weather Integration (Graphical Assignment)
Use Case -
Joe, the Planner, configures the information that users want to see on their
schedule for things like current, daily, and hourly weather.
After looking at the hourly view for the duration of the work, he feels
confident that the crews can travel to, perform the required work, and return
back without an adverse weather impact.
Fred now assigns the work and is ready for the morning crew meeting.
17
Release 2
Weather Impact on Assets
Use Case –
For a planned cell tower maintenance, high wind and storm conditions
should be avoided when possible. Lightning must be strictly avoided.
Scheduler Plus will search for Work Orders with this job plan and either
reschedule the work for no go conditions or change to the alternate job plan.
The new plan Joe publishes now includes critical information that can lead to
safer, more efficient operations.
18
Release 3
Dynamic Dispatching
Use Case -
19
Release 3
Weather Informed Dispatching
Use Case -
Frank sees the updated map and re-routes them South where
they can service assets near the vehicle depot and head to safety
if needed.
The tornado has created new emergent work and has impacted
travel conditions. Additionally, planned work in Sector B must be
rescheduled as well. Scheduler Plus will merge all the work and
create street level routes based on this updated information.
The Crew will now avoid the damaged roads and be expedited to
priority work.
