The Township of Middletown Sewerage Authority (TOMSA) Selects VUEWorks For GIS-Based CMMS Features
Faced with an aging CMMS system that could no longer be upgraded for a reasonable cost, Ray Nierstedt, P.E., manager at TOMSA, was seeking an affordable system that he could integrate with GIS, track customer calls, and generate work orders. He also needed the system to seamlessly link to other databases and link electronic documents to any asset. Working with their engineering consultants, Maser Consulting (Red Bank, NJ), an exhaustive review of available solutions was conducted. After the dust settled, VUEWorks was selected to meet the organization's GIS based Work and Asset Management solution needs.
After implementation, the extensive sewer mapping provided by Maser Consulting was incorporated in the GIS, with immediate and universal access by all system users. Everyone now has access to the maps and data, and the work process effectively captures everything from the initial citizen contact through work completion, review and reporting.
