PLANO, Tex. — KYRO, a leading SaaS platform specializing in digital form and workflow automation for construction, utility, and field services, has announced a strategic partnership with LS Power Grid, a national electric transmission system developer, owner, and operator. LS Power Grid, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power, is leveraging KYRO’s platform to optimize field inspection processes, reduce operational delays, and achieve cost efficiency across its transmission utilities.
Digital Transformation for LS Power Grid
With KYRO’s automation capabilities, LS Power Grid has minimized manual rework and significantly improved the accuracy and speed of its field operations. By replacing traditional paper-based methods with digital workflows, KYRO has enabled LS Power Grid to enhance operational efficiency and streamline vegetation and asset inspections.
“KYRO’s digital forms and workflows have transformed how we manage vegetation and asset inspections in the field,” said Greg Smith, Senior Manager of Vegetation Management at LS Power Grid. “We’ve streamlined multiple steps into one, enabling us to make crucial decisions on-site without returning to the office. Everything is at our fingertips, allowing real-time analysis, immediate supervisor input, enhanced safety, improved efficiency, and measurable cost savings.”
Key Benefits of KYRO’s Platform for LS Power Grid
KYRO’s solution offers real-time visibility into task statuses, allowing LS Power Grid teams to prioritize urgent maintenance needs efficiently. The automation of inspection transitions—from aerial assessments to ground inspections, treatment phases, and quality control—has turned what was once a multi-step process into an agile, one-step workflow.
In addition to improving operational efficiency, KYRO’s platform enhances documentation and compliance. The system centralizes all inspection records, reducing reliance on scattered paperwork and ensuring seamless audits. Integrated safety workflows also help LS Power Grid comply with safety protocols without disrupting daily operations.
Enhancing Compliance and Safety
Beyond workflow automation, KYRO’s platform reinforces compliance and safety measures within LS Power Grid’s inspection framework. The digitized workflows ensure that teams adhere to industry regulations and best practices while maintaining a transparent audit trail. This proactive approach to safety has led to improved hazard identification and mitigation, ensuring a secure working environment for field teams.
Moreover, KYRO’s mobile-friendly platform allows inspectors to access critical data in real time, reducing response times for maintenance and repair decisions. With instant reporting capabilities, LS Power Grid can now track performance metrics, monitor inspection trends, and implement predictive maintenance strategies to further optimize operations.
A Shared Vision for Innovation
Both KYRO and LS Power Grid share a commitment to leveraging technology for operational excellence. KYRO’s data-driven solutions align with LS Power Grid’s mission to modernize infrastructure and improve the reliability of the U.S. power grid. By digitizing and automating inspection workflows, LS Power Grid is better positioned to meet the increasing demands of an evolving energy landscape.
“Working with KYRO allows us to elevate our field operations with real-time insights and a more efficient workflow,” added Smith. “This partnership underscores our dedication to innovation and continuous improvement in the utility sector.”
