Re-flow attended the Interchange Conference on the 27 and 28 February to present their cutting-edge field management software and harness the power of data<\/h2>\n

\u2018Data is the new oil\u2019 \u2013 this was a phrase used by Teodora Kaneva, head of Smart Infrastructure and Systems at TechUK, at the recent Interchange Conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although she caveated that she disliked the saying, it has some merit. Data is now a coveted resource, precious, but not finite like oil.<\/p>\n

\u2018As data<\/a> powers applications like self-driving cars, wearables, and satellites, it simultaneously generates even more data. Unlike oil, data is not used up when it\u2019s collected.\u2019<\/p>\n

Data is more like capital\u2014we lend or invest it in the hope it will deliver returns. It takes refining to be valuable, but its value increases each time it is used. At Manchester Central on the 27th and 28th of February, the role of data in collaborative working and moving the infrastructure<\/a> industry forward was the hot topic.<\/p>\n

Professionals from the transport, energy, property and technology sectors attended<\/h3>\n

The Interchange Conference<\/a> utilised the hashtag #bethechange, encouraging a push towards an \u2018integrated, decarbonised and resilient transport ecosystem that puts a premium on the quality of movement of people and goods.\u2019<\/p>\n

The conference\u2019s success was achieved through the combination of three innovative events \u2013 TIP Live<\/a>, the ITS UK<\/a> Conference and STB Conference<\/a> \u2013 as well as talks from keynote speakers, sneak peeks of some brand-new technology, and interesting round table discussions.<\/p>\n

The conference offered a wealth of knowledge, with speakers from major public and private sector stakeholders across the transport, energy, property and technology sectors taking part.<\/p>\n

How Re-flow field management software can help to achieve common goals<\/h3>\n

The Re-flow team were at stand 65b \u2013 right in the thick of things \u2013 speaking to attendees about how their award-winning field-management software can help achieve these common goals.<\/p>\n

Adam Kyffin, business development manager, said, “Data is such a valuable resource. At Re-flow, we understand the importance of clear and correct data to workers in the field and in the office.<\/p>\n

“Having access to this data at all times means users can create robust audit trails, monitor vehicle and equipment maintenance, assign qualified workers to jobs, avoid scheduling conflicts, avoid fatigue, and much more.<\/p>\n

“A constant stream of data means businesses can be reactive. They can respond to schedule changes, health and safety incidents, and communicate together in real-time. The more data that\u2019s collected, the more efficient a business can be.<\/p>\n

“Long-term plans can be put in place to streamline processes, which leads to growth. It was great to speak to a few of our clients, including Colas and Tarmac, who have already benefitted from digital transformation.”<\/p>\n
