Northpower is one of New Zealand’s largest multi-utility contractors, with a reputation for safety, excellence and innovation. It is imperative that Northpower’s field service technicians have the most current versions of documents such as standards, drawings, procedures and best practices for working on a variety of electricity networks around the North Island but since technicians work in very remote locations, they frequently do not have Internet connectivity.
Northpower was seeking a way to improve field worker safety and productivity through providing fast iPad access to content with a solution that works offline.
With Colligo mobile content management Northpower field workers now have access to company and customer specific documentation on their iPads. Colligo automatically syncs to SharePoint when the user connects to Northpower’s corporate wireless network to ensure that workers always have access to the latest content, even when offline. Northpower also uses Colligo for centralized configuration and management. This is a key component in managing who has access to certain information, while also enabling devices to contain content for the specific customers they are working for.
