Vitruvi vs Utility OX

Vitruvi is a mobile, cloud-based, GIS enabled, production accounting platform, integrating the exchange of information between all resources involved in a project. Just a few examples of this include: Up-to-date design and as-built information is available to everyone, in real-time, reflecting changes in standards, planning and permitting.
