With yet another delay announced recently to the UK Government’s proposed Smart Meter Implementation Plan, Craig Edge, Chief Consulting Engineer of Wheatley Associates, the UK’s most experienced supplier of metering and asset management software, poses the questions: “Are we trying to be too smart about smart metering in the UK and is it time to reconsider how the roll-out is being implemented? Are we trying to bite off more than we can chew and is evolution better than revolution?”

Wheatley Associates has launched Assign, its next-generation mobile and field workforce scheduling and productivity software solution. With its combined focus on usability and functionality, Assign radically re-thinks the concept of real-time scheduling. Assign’s highly intuitive user interface provides extremely easy access to a wealth of functionality, that gives an organisation all the tools it needs to enable its field workforce complete more jobs more efficiently, while delivering improved customer service.

With the UK Smart Metering Implementation Programme now firmly within the Foundation Stage and preparations well underway for the start of the mass roll-out of smart meters in 2014, Wheatley Associates and Junifer Systems have announced a strategic collaboration for the provision of a vital, combined back office meter asset management and customer information system solution for smart meter operators and meter asset providers.

Wheatley Associates, the leading provider of mobile workforce scheduling and efficiency software solutions, has published a new white paper that discusses how to turn the ‘Efficiency Bleeds’ inherent in skills-based mobile workforce management and scheduling processes into positive ‘Productivity Gains’.
