Network Construction & Maintenance

Network Construction and Maintenance is more than digging trenches and pulling cables.

It’s about staying on schedule, optimizing resources, and delivering on client expectations. When information doesn’t flow, timelines slip. When equipment isn’t ready, downtime gets expensive. And when mileage or hours aren’t tracked properly, billing takes a hit.

Kiho eliminates these challenges by bringing real-time visibility to every aspect of fieldwork.

As a best-in-class solution for network construction companies, Kiho provides the transparency needed to keep projects on track, move equipment efficiently, and bill every phase of work with confidence and accuracy.

Concrete Benefits for the Industry

See Exactly Where Technicians and Vehicles Are

Real-time location data keeps you in control. Quickly see which sites are complete and which tasks are still in progress. Whether it’s storm damage, a sudden cable fault, or a last-minute utility request, you can dispatch the right crew to the right place—fast.

Example: A network contractor receives an urgent job from the client. With Kiho, dispatchers instantly see which vehicles and technicians are nearby. The job order—complete with all the details—is sent directly to the best resource for the task.

Safe, Ready-to-Use Equipment

All vehicles, tools, and safety gear are tracked and managed. NFC and QR technology ensure that fall-protection harnesses, voltage meters, and other critical equipment have been inspected and are safe to use.

Example: Before heading to the site, a technician scans the NFC tag on a voltage meter or safety harness in the Kiho app to verify its serviceability. If calibration has expired, Kiho flags it, and the technician can choose a safe, compliant tool instead.

Every Work Hour and Mile Logged to the Right Project

ERP integration brings project numbers directly into Kiho. Workers can allocate trips, hours, and materials to the correct client in real time using a mobile device.

Example: A driver travels 120 km to a site, completes three hours of maintenance, and then moves on to the next job. Every trip, hour, and task is automatically recorded against the correct project code—no paper forms needed.

Real-Time Location Data Delivered Directly to the Utility

In outages and emergencies, live location data becomes critical. Under normal conditions, work follows the plan. But during disruptions, utilities need to know exactly where their crews are. Streaming real-time location to systems like Trimble’s network information system helps utilities prioritise tasks—without extra phone calls or guesswork.

Example: In a major outage, operational control shifts to the utility. With live location data, they can see where each crew is and contact drivers directly to coordinate fast, high-priority fault repairs.

“Fifteen years ago, location tracking and apps were seen as scary—everyone was against ‘this kind of thing.’ Today, it’s the opposite.”

Juha Miettinen, Eltel

“Kiho provides us with a solution especially for tracking our fleet and its utilization, helping us tackle CO₂ emission targets and optimize vehicle usage.”
