Features
Three pillars, one job record.
Canopy Commander coordinates utility tree work end to end: the hazard report that starts a job, the assignment that moves it to a crew, and the triage that decides what happens first when a storm hits.
Pillar 01 · Coordination
Assignment, crews, and status in one place
The core of the product: getting reported work to the right crew and knowing where every job stands without a phone call.

Assignment and dispatch
A foreman assigns a reported hazard to a named crew with a priority and a work window. The crew sees it on their list the moment it is assigned.
- Priority levels that match how utilities escalate work
- Reassign or reprioritize without re-entering the job
- Access notes, equipment needs, and hazards carried on the assignment
Crew rosters and load
See which crews are working, what they are holding, and how much is still open before you dispatch the next job.
- Crew list with current assignments and open count
- Foreman view across every circuit in a callout
- Balance work across crews instead of overloading one truck
Status everyone can see
Submitted, assigned, on site, complete. The lineman who reported the tree sees the same status the foreman does.
- Live status on every job with time stamps
- Notifications when a job is assigned or closed
- No status meeting to find out what is still open
Job records and reporting
Every job keeps its report, assignment, photos, and closeout, so what you hand the utility matches what happened in the field.
- Circuit, span, and pole reference on each record
- Timestamped entries for restoration reporting
- Export a callout's jobs as a single summary
Pillar 02 · Hazard reporting
The person who finds it, files it
Linemen and patrollers report trees threatening the line in under a minute, with enough detail that a crew can work the job without calling back.
Structured field reports
Preset fields instead of free text: what the tree is doing, how urgent it looks, and exactly where it is. Consistent reports make triage possible.
- Preset failure types: uprooted, split leader, limb contact, full lean
- Pole, circuit, and span reference captured on the report
- Glove-sized inputs, readable in daylight or headlamp
Photos attached to the job
The photos taken at the moment of the report follow the job all the way to the crew and into the record.
- Multiple photos per hazard with location
- Crew sees the original photos before rolling
- Closeout photos stored alongside the report
Works where the signal doesn't
Storm work happens on back roads with no bars. Reports are captured on device and sync when service returns.
- Local capture with background sync
- Nothing to load before you can start a report
- A dead zone never costs you a job record
Pillar 03 · Storm triage
When everything is urgent, rank it
The original wire load engine, now the triage layer: when a circuit takes multiple failures at once, the queue sorts itself by the force each stem puts on the conductor.

Force on the wire, tree by tree
Canopy Commander estimates the load each contacting stem transfers to the conductor from lean, contact height, stem size, and failure type — then ranks them.
- Per-tree estimated force with a relative load bar
- Highest-priority removal flagged in high-vis orange
- Sequence warns when releasing one stem reloads another
A ranked board, not a pile
During a mass outage the foreman assigns straight off the ranked board, so crews work the most imperative removals first.
- Bulk intake of reports across a circuit
- Ranking drives assignment order automatically
- Reprioritize as new reports come in
The cut order in the crew's hand
The crew opens the job and sees the removal order for that span, not a number they have to interpret.
- Ranked removals per span with notes
- Notes attach to the tree, not a separate log
- Estimates presented as guidance, verified on site
