COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARCOS LLC has again won a place on the Columbus Business First Fast 50 – the annual list of the 50 fastest-growing emerging companies in Central Ohio. This year ARCOS ranks #25. The Fast 50 Award recognizes companies for financial growth and performance over the past three years. ARCOS has made the list nine times in the last 11 years, the most appearances by any of the 2017 honorees according to Columbus Business First.
“Since we last appeared on the Fast 50 list in 2014 we’ve launched a variety of new products, acquired two competitors and expanded internationally into the Canadian utility market,” said Bruce Duff, chief executive officer of ARCOS LLC.
American and Canadian electric, gas and water utilities along with power generation plants rely on ARCOS to keep service running. ARCOS resource management solutions help utilities respond to both after-hours and major events; restore service by quickly and safely assembling crews; and report on the outcome, which informs executives, first responders, regulators, media and the public. Eighty-seven percent of U.S. households are served by utilities that use ARCOS technology to accurately track restoration time and speed up the mobilization of crews.
“With our solutions, contacting utility crews and reporting on the outcome of restoration work literally happens with the click of a button from a laptop and any mobile device,” adds Duff.
The flagship ARCOS® Callout and Scheduling Suite is a software-as-a-service platform for utility managers to automatically assemble available crews, analyze crew response and report outcomes. The ARCOS Damage Assessment solution helps shorten the process of surveying damage caused by major events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma from days to hours. The newest ARCOS product, Resource Assist™, automates the manual process of requesting and managing third-party resources and equipment for restoring services during major events or when needed. Other products from ARCOS chart crew staffing and time worked, so utilities can manage crew safety, gauge restoration costs and quickly respond to requests.
