🌳 How BTS Group Gained Control with MightyFields
Managing vegetation around power lines for different UK DNOs comes with similar workflows but unique requirements. BTS Group partnered with MightyFields to streamline processes, adapt to each DNO’s specifics, and gain full oversight, from surveys to final clearance.
The Challenge
Adapting to Dynamic Field Processes
BTS Group is on the frontline of keeping the UK’s electricity infrastructure secure.
Their teams manage vegetation around overhead power lines daily, surveying, clearing sites, performing tree surgery, and ensuring continuous electricity distribution.
With hundreds of spans to manage for three different UK DNOs, BTS needed a digital solution to keep pace with their workload and maintain full control over their processes.
They weren’t just looking for a tool—they were looking for a partner. Their priorities were clear:
Gain full visibility into the progress of field operations
Speed up data collection and processing in the field
Be able to make in-house changes to workflows and digital forms (no vendor lock-in)
MightyFields has revolutionised our operations. The cost savings are substantial, and our office team now spends their time on process improvements and data analysis rather than chasing reports. Our clients love the timely, well-structured data delivered directly to their systems—it’s elevated our service quality significantly.
