Digital route planning is revolutionizing site maintenance at Quathamer
Anyone responsible for the regular cleaning and maintenance of multiple sites knows the challenge: appointments must be coordinated with customers, employees must be assigned to jobs, and keys for the sites need to be distributed to the right staff. In addition, employees must be informed about site-specific details such as access routes or directions. Finally, all services performed must be reliably and transparently documented. Many companies lose valuable time every day—especially when they still rely on incomplete paper lists or Excel-based schedules. Quathamer, a specialist in transformer station maintenance, has long moved beyond the old-school paperwork.
John-Paul Müller, managing director at Quathamer, sums it up. For him and his team, it was never just about going digital. “We didn’t just want to digitize our work—we wanted to truly improve it. For us and for our clients,” says Müller. The key to that: smart route planning with geoCapture, tailored specifically to the challenges that come with routine site maintenance. With geoCapture, the company found a solution that has completely transformed its day-to-day operations.
All information on sites and jobs available digitally at any time
The challenge of transformer station maintenance lies not only in the large number of sites to be maintained, but also in handling special requirements—such as keys needed to access certain locations or different maintenance intervals that apply to each site. What used to be managed with Excel and local know-how is now handled automatically: With just a few clicks, the Quathamer team plans their routes—efficiently, transparently, and digitally adjustable at any time.
Time-consuming coordination by phone is a thing of the past. Today, one quick look into geoCapture reveals all stations, their specific details, and all upcoming appointments including planned routes. Even job assignment by the client has become easier at Quathamer: the client regularly sends an Excel file with updated site data. What once had to be entered manually into Excel is now fully automated—geoCapture takes care of it. Imports from Excel files are no longer an issue. geoCapture reliably reads and processes all assignment information and automatically creates the corresponding records in the system.
