The DER & EV Interconnection Queue Is Breaking Your Grid. StraViso Owns the Workflow.

2,600 GW of clean energy stuck in interconnection backlogs. DOE iQMS funding is here. StraViso's over-the-top AI layer converts every DER application into a dispatched, tracked, and documented energization action — without replacing your existing OSS, CIS, or work management systems.

The Interconnection Crisis

Your Existing Systems Were Not Built for This Volume

DER applications arrive in spreadsheets, emails, and siloed portals. Engineering reviews, site inspections, meter installations, and energization happen across disconnected teams. Every handoff is a delay — and delays cost ratepayers, developers, and your regulatory standing.

Application Intake Is Manual and Fragmented

Forms arrive via email, portals, and paper. No single queue. Status queries flood your operations center with calls that take staff away from actual work.

Cross-Silo Handoffs Kill Cycle Time

Engineering studies, equipment provisioning, field verification, and meter installation each live in a different system with no orchestration layer connecting them.

Regulatory and DOE Reporting Is a Manual Tax

iQMS compliance, FERC Order 2023 queue reforms, and state-level interconnection rules demand documentation that most utilities still build by hand in spreadsheets.

Applicants Are Left in the Dark

No proactive communication. Status calls overwhelm your team. Developers and homeowners alike experience months of silence — creating regulatory and reputational risk.

The StraViso Approach

Single Framework Serving Multiple Verticals.

StraViso's OTT orchestration layer applies the same interconnection workflow intelligence across electric distribution, gas T&D, and water — without a separate implementation for each.

Electric Distribution

Solar · Battery Storage · EV Charging · Rooftop DER
The Challenge

Distribution-level solar and EV charger applications have surged 400%+ in five years. Utilities face FERC Order 2023 queue reform deadlines while managing hundreds of small interconnection cases simultaneously with crews, engineers, and customer ops in separate systems.

StraViso Delivers
  • AI triage of incoming DER applications by interconnection type, size, and feeder capacity — routing each to the right queue instantly
  • Automated applicant communication: status updates, document requests, and approval notices — zero manual touchpoints
  • Field-verification dispatch: mobile work orders with photo capture, GPS, and digital sign-off for FERC / iQMS documentation
  • Real-time capacity visibility: feeder headroom dashboards integrated with your existing SCADA / GIS

Gas Transmission & Distribution

New Meter Services · Service Lines · Pressure Zone Extensions
The Challenge

Gas utilities face a surge in hydrogen-blend, renewable gas, and new service-line connection requests layered on top of aging infrastructure compliance obligations. Application-to-energization cycles span multiple teams — planning, design, field operations, and safety — with no unified tracking.

StraViso Delivers
  • End-to-end service-request orchestration from initial application through design review, materials provisioning, and field tie-in
  • Integrated pressure-zone capacity checks before dispatch — preventing costly back-office redesign cycles
  • Safety compliance documentation auto-generated and routed for sign-off as work orders close in the field
  • Customer and developer portals for real-time application status — eliminating inbound status calls

Water Utilities

New Connections · Meter Services · Smart Meter Rollouts
The Challenge

Water utilities manage new-service connections, smart meter energization, and backflow certification across engineering, field crews, and billing — all in separate platforms. Manual handoffs create multi-week delays that drive customer complaints and revenue leakage before first bill.

StraViso Delivers
  • New-connection case management from permit application through meter set, first read, and billing activation in a single workflow
  • Smart meter rollout orchestration: schedule optimization, field execution tracking, and CIS update automation
  • Backflow and compliance documentation captured digitally at point of service — zero rekeying into back-office systems
  • Seamless OTT integration with GIS, CMMS, and CIS — no data migration, no rip-and-replace

How It Works

Application-to-Energization in
One Orchestrated Flow

StraViso's OTT layer sits above your existing systems — no data migration, no rip-and-replace — and turns every incoming DER or service connection trigger into a managed case that moves automatically from intake to close.

Application Intake
AI ingests requests from email, portal, or EDI — auto-classifying type, size, and feeder zone
Capacity & Queue Check
Real-time feeder / pressure / system capacity pulled from GIS/SCADA. Queue position assigned automatically
Cross-Team Routing
Engineering review, materials check, and field dispatch assigned with SLA timers and escalation rules
Field Execution & Verification
Mobile work orders with digital capture: photos, GPS stamps, sign-off — all tied back to the case record
Energization & Reporting
Energization confirmed, CIS/billing updated, DOE iQMS and FERC documentation auto-packaged and filed

Why StraViso

The Competitive Difference

StraViso owns the orchestration workflow that connects every platform — and every team — into a single managed case.

Over-the-Top, Not Rip-and-Replace

StraViso's OTT architecture layers above your existing CIS, GIS, ERP, and FSM systems. No data migration, no lengthy implementation, no disruption to day-one operations. Your teams keep their tools — StraViso connects them.

OTT Architecture

AI-Native Case Intelligence

Not RPA bolted onto legacy workflows. StraViso uses AI to classify, prioritize, route, and escalate interconnection cases — learning from historical patterns to continuously reduce cycle time and exception rates.

AI-Native Core

Built-In Regulatory Documentation

DOE iQMS compliance packages, FERC Order 2023 queue reform reporting, and state-level interconnection documentation auto-generated at case close — no separate reporting workflow required.

Compliance-Ready

Mobile-First Field Execution

Field technicians receive verified, GPS-optimized work orders on mobile. Photo capture, digital sign-off, and real-time status updates flow back into the case record — eliminating paper forms and end-of-day rekeying.

Dispatch Cloud / Field Cloud

Applicant Self-Service & CX Layer

Branded developer and homeowner portals surface real-time application status, document requirements, and next-step guidance — reducing inbound status calls by 40–60% and improving regulatory customer satisfaction scores.

Engage Cloud / Contact Center

SOC 2 Type 2 Certified

Enterprise-grade security and compliance from day one. StraViso meets the data governance requirements of regulated utilities — including NERC CIP alignment for electric operations — without additional compliance overhead.
