PW CommandFeatures
What PW Command does today.
PW Command brings daily municipal operations into one organized planning layer—from work orders and crew coordination to resources, compliance, safety, and weather response.
Work orders & dispatch
See every open, blocked, and emergency work order — then act on them from a live map.
- Work Orders board — open, blocked, and emergency, in one view
- Dispatch Console for pushing approved plans out to crews
- Map View with zone grouping and backlog hotspots
- Schedule Planner across today, tomorrow, and the week ahead
- Approval Queue — nothing goes to crews until a supervisor signs off
- Road Closures (511) for planned work, emergency repairs, and BIA events
Crews & smart daily plans
AI-assisted crew building and daily plans — with a supervisor in the loop for every recommendation.
- Crew Builder — build crews manually or auto-generate 1- to 5-person crews
- Smart Suggestions match staff by skills, roles, and compatibility rules
- Every recommendation shows a confidence level and reasoning
- Crew Insights for compatibility, coverage gaps, and utilization
- Task Durations and WO Templates for realistic daily plans
- PM Schedules for recurring preventative maintenance work
Resources
Staff, equipment, materials, signs, and shops — all in one place.

- Materials tracking for locate and job readiness
- Signs library based on Ontario Book 5 with your live inventory
- Shops & Resources — home shop, current shop, and East/West assignments

Compliance & safety
Locates, certifications, field safety, and Ontario MMS tracking — with recommendations only; authorized personnel approve.
