U-Collect (powered by GIS Cloud) mobile data collection is a tool which allows ASTERRA's field users and local leak detection crews to collect and record field inspection data. The tool is designated for online and offline collection. Simply sign in with your ASTERRA account and send collected data directly to your Utilis web-map app in the cloud. Note! This app will use GPS in the background to give you the most accurate and current location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
