Record Trouble Calls
USSI OMS is a GIS based Outage Management System that operates on multiple dispatch/call center computers and server/s. The software identifies, records, tracks, and reports power outages and facilitates safe, prompt, restoration of power. USSI OMS interfaces to the Customer Information System to identify the customer and input their account information and location. The Software can interface to existing IVR applications to collect caller information. USSI OMS is fully integrated with USSI MAP-FM for a very powerful and affordable total solution or can be sold separately.

Show Map/GIS Locations
The software is integrated with USSI Mapping-FM to provide a very powerful and economical total system or can be integrated to your mapping system. USSI OMS with the mapping information locates the customer, the electric system components, and the open component on the system map. It then provides a dynamic presentation of the calls, outages, affected customers, and the upstream and downstream circuit condition in both graphical and tabular form.

Accurately Predict Open Elements
The system uses trouble call information (and the AMR system if available) to predict the most likely open circuit component. Once identified, the outage and its affected customers are displayed in tabular form and on the map. Immediate feedback is provided as to whether the trouble calls are part of an existing outage.

Assemble and Track Crews
Crews can be assembled and assigned to the outage. As crews are dispatched, truck symbols are graphically placed on the map. A Crew Call module can be used to automatically phone crew members and keep records of employee responses. The software can interface to existing AVL systems or to USSI's optional AVL system.

Restore and Record the Outage
Once the trouble is cleared and the circuit restored, the outage is recorded as closed and is automatically recorded and saved. Standard reports include the number of customers affected, the timing of the outages, when the predictions were made, what device operated out, when the outage was verified, when service was restored, which customers were affected, the causes of the outages, etc.
