UDC Vegetation Management extends Compliance Manager for electric utility inspections and vegetation compliance. It supports asset-based patrols, cycle and non-cycle inspections, and prescriptive or work-to-standard workflows for overhead lines and transmission corridors. Utilities can configure plans for ongoing cycles and use Esri ArcGIS maps, monitoring and reporting to manage work. The software supports assigning, scheduling, performing and monitoring tasks across field and office processes. Configurable forms serve utility workers, forestry contractors, tree trimmers and herbicide applicators. Crews can download assignments, map layers and events, and enter inspection notes offline; the application also operates online. Built-in reports, configurable dashboards and a digital documentation trail support compliance reviews and audits. UDC describes integration with enterprise asset, work and field systems, including EAM, WMS, CMMS and MWM. A customer-facing dashboard for notices about upcoming work is an add-on. It runs on Android, iOS, web and Windows. UDC says implementation averages around 4–6 months, depending on coordination within the customer's IT department. Pricing is by inquiry.
