Faced with inefficient, manual processes that slowed progress and risked compliance, the organization struggled to manage a growing workload. KYRO AI’s digital solution streamlined operations, accelerated workflows, and ensured regulatory confidence. The result was faster cycles, real-time insights, and significant efficiency gains.
CenterPoint Energy, a leading U.S. utility, manages a massive distribution network stretching across tens of thousands of miles. With a surge in infrastructure projects coming online, the company needed a reliable way to handle post-construction inspections—ensuring they were timely, well-documented, and met strict regulatory standards.
Manual processes and disconnected workflows were holding them back, creating risks for oversight, compliance, and cost recovery. CenterPoint set out to find a digital solution that could turn inspection data into clear, actionable insights.
CenterPoint’s inspection workload was overwhelming. With thousands of inspections needed each year across their sprawling network, manual scheduling and paper-based processes couldn’t keep up, leading to delays in wrapping up projects.
The inspection data was a mess. They were scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and handwritten notes. Inconsistent records made it tough to trust the data or use it for meaningful analysis, often resulting in errors that slowed things down further.
Managers were flying blind, with no real-time view of inspection progress. They wouldn’t know which inspections were done, overdue, or at risk of non-compliance until reports trickled in weeks later, making it hard to act quickly.
Inspectors and supervisors were bogged down compiling documents by hand for audits and project records, pulling them away from more critical tasks. Without standardized, reliable reporting, CenterPoint faced risks of regulatory penalties, disputes over project quality, and costly rework in the field.
KYRO AI’s built-in GIS navigation allowed inspectors to visualize daily assignments and optimize travel routes. By intelligently clustering inspection sites, inspectors covered more ground per shift, reduced travel redundancy, and improved on-site time utilization that were critical for scaling inspection capacity across a vast distribution footprint.
Inspectors used tablets loaded with work order details, site drawings, and tailored data fields. Built-in required fields, dropdowns, and validations ensured every entry was clear and complete, eliminating vague notes or missing information.
This consistent, error-free approach turned inspections into high-quality data ready for analytics and audits. It also helped teams close out projects, assess contractor performance, and spot issues needing attention before final handovers.
Supervisors got live, map-based dashboards showing geotagged, timestamped inspection updates. No more waiting weeks for reports and they could instantly see which sites were done, which needed follow-up, and where risks were popping up.
This real-time clarity also sparked better collaboration, with construction teams connecting directly with engineering to address issues and improve communication across departments.
Once an inspection was submitted, KYRO AI instantly created polished, formatted reports. Teams could easily pull up reports by searching for a project, work order, or date range. This automation slashed administrative work, ensured every report was audit-ready, and built a permanent, version-controlled record for compliance and dispute resolution.
For inspectors in remote areas like rural substations with spotty connectivity, KYRO AI’s offline mode was a lifesaver. They could log inspections, add photos, and validate entries without a signal, with data syncing automatically once back online. This kept work moving smoothly, no matter the location.
KYRO AI transformed CenterPoint’s outdated inspection process into a streamlined, digital-first system. It eliminated blind spots, cut reporting delays, and delivered audit-ready data, giving teams the tools and evidence to drive improvements.
More than just efficiency, KYRO AI brought regulatory confidence and real-time insights, empowering CenterPoint to manage quality across their vast network with ease.
