Crew Expenses
CREW TIME AND EXPENSES CAPTURED AS THEY HAPPEN
Automate capture of crew time and expenses directly from the field, eliminating “best guess” reconciliation and producing verifiable documentation needed for FEMA reimbursement and validating contractor invoices.

UNIFIED CREW DATA SPEEDS REIMBURSEMENT AND CLOSEOUT
Arcos captures data automatically and unifies information from all your systems into one connected view, so time and expenses are captured accurately as work happens. With all cost data aligned and verifiable, reconciliation becomes fast, clear, and defensible, eliminating guesswork and supporting timely, successful reimbursement.
Instead of cobbling together scattered records after the fact, utilities gain a single source of truth that streamlines closeout and protects cost recovery.

“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.”

“The biggest benefit is efficiency. It can be difficult to recognize how cumbersome your process is until you move to a better system. Now that we’ve experienced the value [of Arcos], we could never go back to our previous process.”

“That playback is akin to a sports team watching film from its last game to analyze how well it did. With a paper-based system, preparing for a forecasted storm would likely leave time for laying out only one scenario that’s largely based on past experience.”
