It’s been a beyond challenging year for the telecom industry in different ways. Many providers are seeing a surge in their business as 2020 has brought an unprecedented demand for broadband that is taxing field crews, dispatchers, and engineering departments alike. Many are also seeing overwhelming volumes of locate requests from 811 centers at a time when resources are stretched thin and teams are more decentralized than ever.

With this increase in activity, preventing fiber strikes and managing 811 tickets more efficiently is critically important to your business.

Pinpoint811 logoEarlier this year, Mapcom launched a new locates management system – Pinpoint811 – based on feedback from real damage prevention teams. One theme that emerged was a common need to streamline communication with 811 centers, particularly for 811 centers that require utilities to send positive response once a locate has been marked.

We’re pleased to share that the most advanced, low-cost locates management software in the marketplace is now compatible with the state 811 centers listed below.
