IoT platforms for underground utility damage prevention and compliance
ELM Utility Services operates two core IoT platforms—LaunchPoint (logistics) and FieldSight (monitoring & control)—for damage prevention in utilities, construction, and manufacturing. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-dependent (Office, 365, Azure, Teams) with modern web development tooling (React, TypeScript, C#, SQL Server), and active projects center on Azure DevOps migration, ETL optimization, and observability—suggesting an organization modernizing legacy operations systems while building cloud-native analytics infrastructure.
