The inaugural GEOGRAPH Achievement Award honors clients who boldly embrace innovation, creativity, and excellence in leveraging CrescentLink technology. This year, we are proud to recognize UtiliSource for setting a new industry standard in network management by transforming their construction workflows with BuildSource. This robust, GIS-powered solution, built in partnership with GEOGRAPH Technologies, is powered by CrescentLink.
Raising the Bar in Construction Management
UtiliSource faced complex operational challenges, stemming from lengthy billing cycles, inconsistent field data, and limited project visibility. Realizing the urgent need for change, the UtiliSource team partnered with GEOGRAPH to develop BuildSource, uniting the power of CrescentLink with ESRI’s leading GIS technology. The result: a digital platform that replaces paper-based processes with tailored mapping, real-time data updates, streamlined restoration tasks, and automated weekly billing.
Impact Through Innovation
With BuildSource, UtiliSource saw remarkable results:
- Reduced the billing cycle from four weeks to just one, dramatically enhancing cash flow and operational efficiency.
- Achieved near-perfect data accuracy (only 1.5% discrepancy between engineering and billing).
- Empowered construction crews with mobile data collection and instant dashboard updates—ensuring management sees project status, costs, and issues in real-time.
- Ramped up collaboration and accountability between field workers, supervisors, and billing clerks, accelerating the flow of actionable information.
Building for the Future
This success didn’t just help UtiliSource—it showcases how CrescentLink can transform operations across the broadband and construction sectors. Their journey underscores our mission at GEOGRAPH: to empower organizations with robust GIS-based fiber network solutions, turning complex data into clear, actionable insights.
“BuildSource has been key in the company’s phenomenal growth rate due to its ability to reduce production time and billing time. The flow of work from a foreman in the field doing edits, to getting the data to the supervisors, and then moving information on to billing clerks to produce invoices happens in a matter of days instead of weeks.”
