CALLOUT
MOBILIZE COMPLIANT CREWS IN MINUTES
Arcos Callout is the activation engine for the Arcos OnCommand suite, quickly mobilizing the right personnel for planned or unplanned work with automated rules-driven scheduling and a defensible audit trail.
Trusted by Top Critical Infrastructure Operators
THE CREWS YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED THEM MOST
Automated, rules-driven callouts help utilities mobilize the right crews in minutes while ensuring every step aligns with labor agreements. Phone trees and spreadsheets delay mobilization, misapply labor rules, and leave leaders without documentation when disputes arise.
These streamlined, well-documented workflows reduce disputes, strengthen compliance, and keep restoration moving quickly, eliminating the delays and uncertainty that come with manual phone trees and spreadsheets.

- Dashboards for accepts, declines, ETA, and crew completion
- Availability by skill, district, and on-call status
- Event view for operations leadership and dispatch
Rules you control
Model your labor agreements and operating policies, then test and approve changes without custom code.
- Configure union, rest, proximity, certification, and seniority logic
- Simulate outcomes before launch; version and approve with audit history
- Connect HRIS, OMS/ADMS, and GIS so rules reflect real-world data
SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR ROSTERS & AVAILABILITY
Real-time insight into crew availability helps supervisors and dispatchers make more accurate assignments. Centralize on-call lists, skills, and certifications so eligibility is always current before a callout starts.

TRUSTED ACROSS THE UTILITIES INDUSTRY

faster restoration
“We run a very lean organization and had a pop-up storm requiring an all-hands call for help; using Arcos, more than 80 percent of our workforce responded within two minutes. With our manual method, that all-hands call would’ve taken up to an hour to complete; Arcos helped us restore power 30 to 45 minutes sooner, which has a positive impact on CAIDI, SAIDI, customer satisfaction and revenue.”
0
grievances
“Since implementing Arcos, LCEC has not had a single grievance filed related to callouts. Before Arcos, the utility’s callout data collection was prone to errors, since LCEC compiled statistics manually. The quality of the callout statistics has vastly improved and has become a useful tool throughout the organization.”
0 -step
reduced process
“The other huge benefit is during storms. Before we automated the management of crews, it would take us up to 4 hours to even be able to say, ‘This is how many crews we have, and here’s where they are.’ Now we’ve reduced an 11-step process to an easy, four-step process that shows us who we have on site, right away.”
