1Spatial has secured a £1m SaaS contract with UK Power Networks for its 1Streetworks platform.
The 15-month agreement, which includes a one-year extension option, will help automate traffic management planning for the energy distributor’s extensive network maintenance operations.
UK Power Networks maintains 190,000km of cables and carries out approximately 40,000 highway works annually across London, the South-East and East of England, serving 20 million people.
The 1Streetworks platform will automate the production of traffic management plans, diversion routing and asset inventory lists for these operations.
Over the contract period, the platform is expected to support up to 30% of UK Power Networks’ works volume, expanding geographically across all operational regions and into new teams managing network faults and reactive works. This would suggest there is scope for further expansion of the relationship between the two organisations.
UK Power Networks anticipates the solution could deliver a 39% reduction in road closures whilst improving customer service metrics, including Average Time To Quote and Average Time To Connect.
“We are delighted to agree this landmark contract with UK Power Networks. It is testament to the demonstrable value provided by our innovative 1Streetworks solution,” said Claire Milverton, 1Spatial CEO.
“We are proud UK Power Networks have recognised the significant efficiency savings, improved customer services and a reduction in road closures that can be achieved. We look forward to continuing to work with UK Power Networks to unlock further value across their network.
“This clear commercial validation and growing industry awareness is supporting a steadily growing pipeline, which we are focused on converting.”
Today’s announcement follows contract wins with the California Department of Transportation and Kent Country Council this year.
