VMSuite is an innovative set of software created by Terra Spectrum Technologies (TST) for end-to-end utility vegetation management (UVM) workflow. By partnering with TST and our full suite of software including PlannerVM, RealTimeVM and InsightVM, utilities can analyze LIDAR data, create and manage work orders, track crew progress and cost, and monitor system health with unparalleled efficiency.

TST recognizes our industry is an industry in motion. With laws and regulations continuously evolving, a utility’s vegetation management program is only as strong as the resources and tools on which they rely. TST is committed to providing utilities with the technology solutions and tools necessary to advance their UVM programs. That’s why we’ve partnered with Surveylab to bring ikeGPS to the vegetation management market.

ikeGPS syncs seamlessly with our VMSuite software, giving utilities more options for workflow management. With VMSuite and ikeGPS, utilities are increasing productivity, lowering costs and achieving compliance with unprecedented knowledge of their UVM programs.

RealTimeVM Launches with Avista
TST recently launched RealTimeVM with Avista Utilities’ vegetation management department in Spokane, Wash. The contractor on the property reported employees enjoy using RealTimeVM and are eager to move away from the previous paper-based workflow.

CN Utility Consulting, which has six consulting utility foresters on the property, is using PlannerVM for both planned maintenance and unplanned work, and Avista is using InsightVM for both unit price calculations and monitoring progress.

With the trio of VMSuite software products, Avista is one of the first utility vegetation management departments to have implemented a completely electronic workflow.
