They increased revenue and profit margins and still cut administrative burden
Seven tools. One storm call. Zero margin for error.
Copper & Cable Electric Co. is a lineman built electrical contractor headquartered in Aberdeen, Maryland. Founded in 2023 by IBEW Journeyman Lineman Jay Vogt, they partner with utility companies nationwide on storm restoration, transmission and distribution work, substations, renewables, and utility construction. Some of Copper and Cable’s customers are Exelon, National Grid, Duke Energy, Entergy, conEdison, Eversource, FirstEnergy, Central Hudson Gas and Electric, and others.
Their operating model runs on a single, non-negotiable premise: when a utility calls, the response has to move immediately. Every minute of delay is a minute someone's power stays off. Every missed name on a roster is a gap in the crew that has to be filled under pressure.
Before KYRO AI, Copper & Cable was stitching together seven separate platforms to manage a single storm event. On paper, each tool had a job. In practice, none of them talked to each other, and every storm call exposed that gap in the worst possible way.
The result was a cascade of manual handoffs. Every storm meant repeated data entry across platforms, credential checks done by hand, and no single live view of who was available, confirmed, or already en route.
Darin Vogt, Senior Manager, became the human bridge between callout, credentialing, and crew confirmation. Handling critical operational work that should have taken seconds, in systems, stretched into hours.
Starting a DISA background check, required before a worker can mobilize, took ~20 minutes of manual data entry per person. On a storm roster of 100 linemen, that meant more than 33 hours of manual data entry. As the storm roster grew in size, that delay compounded fast.
In storm work, mobilization speed is the entire operating requirement, and a seven-tool stack was quietly bleeding it away, event after event.
Copper & Cable went live on KYRO AI StormShield in October 2025. The goal was never to add another system to the stack. It was to retire the ones that were slowing the event down.
KYRO AI brought crew rostering, mobilization, credentialing, timesheets, expenses, invoicing, funding, and approvals into a single operational workflow. Every function that had lived in a separate tab, login, or spreadsheet now lived in one place. And they all moved at the same pace the work actually demands.
For the first time, the entire storm event — roster, credentials, callouts, timesheets, expenses, subcontractors, and invoicing — operated from one source of truth instead of seven disconnected systems.
KYRO AI wasn’t adapted from generic project management software. It was shaped directly by storm operators and linemen running live events.
Operational details — from equipment reporting to travel-time calculations — were refined with feedback from inputs from the field and the office so field crews and project managers can make faster and well-informed decisions under pressure, especially during overnight mobilizations and large-scale restoration events.
When something creates friction in the field, the platform adapts quickly. That responsiveness is what makes KYRO AI fit the way storm work actually happens.
15,000 messages/minute
~20 min saved per worker. (That’s nearly a week’s worth of manual labor saved on a storm roster with 100 workers)
Zero document re-collection
Real-time roster visibility
Full subcontractor workflow
Blue-sky readiness automation
In Their Own Words
"We were running seven different tools to hire and manage our employees during storm events. KYRO AI is a single exceptional platform that antiquated the other platforms. The fact that KYRO AI is fast, seamless, and self-contained has allowed me to find time to thrive in the fast-paced environment we work in."
— Darin Vogt, Senior Manager, Copper & Cable Electric Co.
Copper & Cable reclaimed operational hours during every storm event, gained a “speed to market” competitive edge over their competition, increased their revenue and profit margins, and still reduced administrative overhead.
You don't have to fight the next storm scrambling across too many tools. Storms won't slow down, and now, neither will you.
Be ready for it.
