Abstract

The utility industry is experiencing a deep change in the way they carry out their activities. Nowadays, digitalizing traditional processes is key to business success where efficient information management is crucial.Such a digital change is what EDP Distribuição (EDPD), Portuguese DSO, is implementing to enhance mobile power supply unit management.These units are part of an outsourced service that must be efficiently coordinated to assure the best Quality of Service.In this paper, a Proof of Concept project is presented with the aim of: (1) collecting information for such process; (2) integrating it into an online platform; and, (3) with the help of this tool, defining new coordination strategies.
