Overview

Tight tracking of rollout progress builds confidence, highlights bottlenecks early, and enables timely resolution of issues. Each installation generates a data record that must be captured, verified, and linked to the correct property and customer account.

With large numbers of work sites moving through communication, installation, verification, and reinstatement phases, digital tracking tools are essential. Aligning field data collection with asset and billing system schemas ensures accuracy, eases data transfer, reduces rework, and provides near real-time visibility of progress, completion rates, and emerging quality issues.

All records should be georeferenced to support analysis and reporting — enabling mapping of installation progress, identification of localised issues, and more effective coordination between contractors and council teams. Including rich metadata such as installer ID, timestamp, device type, photo verification, and inspection outcomes further enhances tracking accuracy and quality control, providing an auditable record of every installation.

Effective tracking supports both schedule management and quality assurance, helping identify trends, recurring issues, and opportunities to improve efficiency. Real-time validation and exception reporting give managers confidence that every meter is correctly installed, connected, and commissioned.

The spatial and metadata insights generated from this data strengthen decision-making, resource planning, and organisational reporting — ensuring issues are detected early, acted on quickly, and lessons continually inform ongoing delivery.
