Plowed. Swept. Collected. Proven.
Public works fleets are graded on storm response, citizen complaints, and audit records pulled years after the work. Advantage One builds the integration, telemetry, and verification layer that turns every pass on every street into a defensible operational record — and a public one, when the public asks.

Sourcewell · Contract 102924-ADO
Rasters.io NSIM on Advantage One's Sourcewell contract.
Route management software purpose-built for public works — snow operations, sweeping, refuse, and right-of-way — procurable without an RFP via Advantage One's Sourcewell cooperative contract. Fleetio for maintenance and AO Student (Treker) for school-district work are on the same contract.
When the storm passes, the records have to hold.
Public works fleets operate under a covenant most fleets never face: when streets aren't plowed, sweepers don't sweep, or carts don't get collected, complaints become council meetings, and council meetings become lawsuits. Every truck on every beat is part of a citywide accountability record — and the systems behind that record have to survive an audit that may not happen until years later.
Storm response is a public covenant
When streets aren't plowed, the consequences scale fast — citizen complaints, council scrutiny, and litigation that can land years after the storm.
Equipment is half-plow, half-vehicle
Blade position, hopper status, spreader rate, sweeper PTO, packer cycles. The vehicle telemetry only tells half the story — the work telemetry tells the rest.
Routes are GIS, not just GPS
Beats, districts, ward boundaries, and work zones live in shapefiles and Esri layers. Telematics rules have to know the difference between "drove past" and "serviced."
Citizens want to see the work
Public-facing route completion maps are becoming an expectation, not a courtesy. Transparency is the new baseline for public works communication.
The audit is forever
Storm-response records, work verification logs, and route completion data get pulled years after the fact — by lawyers, by inspectors general, by the next administration. The records have to hold.
Built for the work that gets graded by every citizen on every street.
Every capability below reflects deliberate work for public works operations — sensor and video verification, GIS-anchored routing, public-facing transparency, and the integrations that turn raw telemetry into defensible operational records.
Featured — powered by DiCan
Plow Pilot PWM Telemetry
Precise plow blade position data via DiCan’s Plow Pilot PWM module — not inferred from vehicle speed or RPM, but read directly from the hydraulic system. The difference between "the truck drove down this street" and "the blade was down, plowing this street."
DiCan Integration
Court-defensible audit packs
Storm-Response Records
Automated assembly of storm-response records — by route, by truck, by street, by hour. When the post-storm review starts, the records are already compiled, indexed, and exportable.
Sweepers, waste, mowers, line painters
Sensor & Video Work Verification
Multi-cam video systems and sensor packages tuned to each work type — sweeper brush engagement, packer cycles, mower deck status, line-paint spray events. Verification of work performed, not just work attempted.
GIS-anchored telematics rules
Shape File & Esri Import
Custom tooling to import shapefiles, Esri layers, and ArcGIS feature classes directly into MyGeotab as zones, routes, and rule triggers. Beats, districts, and work zones drive the rules — not generic geofences.
Citizen transparency
Public-Facing Completion Maps
Real-time, public-facing maps showing what’s been plowed, swept, or collected — and what hasn’t. Embedded in city websites, refreshed live, and built to scale during a storm event without crashing.
On the Advantage One Sourcewell
Rasters.io NSim Dispatching
Public works dispatching through the Rasters.io NSim solution — available under Advantage One’s own Sourcewell cooperative contract for procurement-clean deployment by states, provinces, counties, and large municipalities.
AO Sourcewell Contract
Work orders to telematics
FMIS Integration
Work orders, DVIR, meter-driven PM, and cost roll-up integrated into Fleetio, AssetWorks, RTA, and Faster Web — with public-works-specific workflows for storm assignment, equipment-readiness verification, and post-event maintenance triage.
Operational, executive, public
BI Dashboards
Three-tier reporting consolidated from telematics, FMIS, sensor data, and GIS — operational views for dispatch and supervision, executive views for council and management, and public-facing views for citizen transparency.
Four contract paths
Cooperative Procurement
More procurement coverage than any other Geotab partner: Advantage One’s own Sourcewell contract (carrying Rasters.io NSim and our services), Geotab’s Sourcewell hardware participant contract, NASPO ValuePoint, and Equalis Group. Whatever your jurisdiction’s preferred vehicle is — we have it.
Plow position you can prove.
Traditional plow telemetry tells you the truck drove down the street. DiCan’s Plow Pilot PWM module tells you the blade was down on the pavement. Advantage One delivers the integration that turns precise plow position data into court-defensible storm-response records — the difference between an operational guess and an auditable fact.
Telemetry
What PWM actually captures
- Precise blade up / down state read from the hydraulic PWM signal — not inferred from vehicle speed or RPM
- Blade angle and orientation — left wing, right wing, scoop, V-plow position
- Hopper and spreader telemetry — material levels, spread rate, application zones
- Speed-correlated spread verification — lbs per lane mile against ground speed
- Millisecond-resolution event capture — every lift, every drop, every angle change
Operational Difference
What changes when you have it
"The plow truck drove down Main Street at 18 mph."
"The plow blade was down on Main Street for 14 of 22 minutes."
"Vehicle was on this route for 45 minutes."
"Blade was angled right-wing, spreading 280 lbs of salt per lane mile."
"Plow status: assumed down based on speed and RPM."
"Plow status: confirmed down via hydraulic PWM signal at 14:32:08."
When a resident or attorney asks why their street wasn’t plowed, the difference between "we think we plowed it" and "the blade was down on the pavement at 14:32 for nine minutes" is the difference between defending the city and explaining it.
Public works deployments live or die before the first storm.
Storm-response telemetry is unforgiving of late configuration. The plow has to be wired, the rules have to be tied to the right beats, and the dispatching has to be live before the first event. We plan for that timeline.
Pre-Storm Scoping
Equipment-by-equipment scoping — plow types, sensor packages, video coverage, hopper/spreader telemetry — mapped to assignments and routes before any installation begins.
GIS-Anchored Configuration
Every rule, geofence, and zone tied to a real work area — imported from your shapefiles or Esri layers, not built from scratch in MyGeotab. Beats, districts, and ward boundaries drive the telemetry, not the other way around.
Cooperative Procurement
Four cooperative contract vehicles to choose from: Advantage One’s own Sourcewell, Geotab Sourcewell Participant, NASPO ValuePoint, and Equalis Group. The simplest, audit-cleanest path for public works procurement — whichever vehicle your jurisdiction prefers.
Storm-Cycle Optimization
Quarterly reviews plus post-major-storm working sessions to tune rules, verify equipment performance, and refine the audit pipeline before the records are ever needed.
