Motorola Solutions WAVE: How DCRS have assisted SMS

Direct Communications Radio Services (DCRS) have been working with Smarter Metering Services Limited for several months and recommended the Motorola WAVE PTX solution to be implemented into their company. This would help to bridge the gap in communication between the office and field staff using Motorola Solutions WAVE .

Project Focus – Utilities

Projects Utilisted: Motorola Solutions WAVE

Missions/Challenge: To employ a system that would be fast and effective so that jobs can be allocated and undertaken on time.

Result: Smarter Metering Services have now implemented the WAVE system to their out of hours services as well and used across all levels of the business and continued this process with DCRS.

Why choose WAVE PTX

The utilities sector can be dangerous especially when engineers are working near gas and electricity. A lot of the time workers may find themselves on a job alone, particularly during COVID-19, therefore a reliable instant communication tool is essentially to this line of work.

Smarter Metering Services Limited its sister Company, Gas Emergency UK Limited have been using the WAVE two-way system for several months now, which was recommended by DCRS, creating an effective communication between the office and our field staff. As a business, they serve the utilities sector dealing with any gas or electricity issues, from installations to maintenance, both planned and reactive works. They have recently mobilised a contract dealing with reactive Gas Emergencies, these jobs require a 3-hour response Service Level Agreement target from call to site attendance.

Tom Ward, CEO of Smarter Metering Services & Gas Emergency UK said “the WAVE system allows us to operate a fast-effective way to allocate these jobs and enable us to reach our engineers at the press of a button, nationally, this then ensures we arrive on all jobs within our contractual obligations. Following weekly communication with all teams, positive feedback has been given to the WAVE system and this has now been introduced to our out of hours services. This is used through all levels within our business, ensuring our Management Team not only have eyes on the ground, but also have ears!

As a nationwide company this allows our engineers to promptly communicate with each other during engineering operations, this recently proved successful whilst attending a large scale ‘off gas’ emergency in Scotland for SGN. The system allowed us to reinstate consumers gas supplies fast and effectively limiting long delays, although our teams were on the scene in Falkirk, the operation restoration was actually controlled by our Dispatch Operations Centre in Newmarket, Suffolk, some 380 miles away.

We have found that the system has helped us to engage our team, both in and out of hours allowing us to be able to give immediate support and advice to all”.
