Fieldman lands spot in AWWA ACE26 Innovation Hub

Fieldman will showcase its AMI and smart meter deployment platform at the AWWA ACE26 Innovation Hub in Washington, DC, on June 21–24, 2026. The selection puts a real-world deployment tool in front of water utilities looking to speed installations, reduce errors and improve visibility across field operations. Why it matters: - Fieldman’s selection signals that water utilities are looking for software built specifically for the execution side of AMI and smart meter rollouts. - The platform targets common deployment problems, including missed appointments, manual data entry, inventory mismatches and limited real-time visibility. - Fieldman says the platform can help utilities and contractors finish smart meter installations 20–30% faster without adding technicians or raising costs. What happened: - Fieldman was selected to exhibit in the Innovation Hub at AWWA ACE26, the American Water Works Association’s annual conference and exposition. - ACE26 runs June 21–24, 2026, in Washington, DC. - Fieldman will be at Innovation Hub Booth #119. - The Innovation Hub, powered by Isle Utilities, features emerging technologies for the water industry. - Fieldman is a work order management platform for AMI and smart meter deployments. The details: - Fieldman connects field crews, dispatchers, supervisors and managers in real time across the full deployment lifecycle, from warehouse to post-installation maintenance. - The platform includes a Field Service App, a Citizen Self-Scheduling App, a Warehouse Management App and a back-office portal for dispatchers, supervisors and managers. - Fieldman says clients have seen dispatch efficiency improve by 42%, team productivity increase by 38% and appointment booking rates rise 2–4x versus traditional scheduling approaches. - Those results are based on deployments serving 10,000+ meters. - At ACE26, Fieldman will demonstrate dynamic dispatch, real-time field data validation, citizen self-scheduling and its Plan/Actual Dashboard for tracking deployment progress against targets. - Fieldman will also highlight its Trimble GNSS integration, announced in January 2026, which lets technicians capture sub-meter GPS coordinates inside Fieldman workflows. - The Trimble integration is designed to improve asset mapping accuracy and GIS data integrity for utilities. - Innovation Hub hours are Monday, June 21, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; Tuesday, June 22, 10:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.; and Wednesday, June 23, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. - Attendees are invited to visit Booth #119 to see a live project in action. - Vlad Kravchenko, Fieldman CEO, said AMI deployments often fail in execution rather than technician skill and that the selection recognizes the need for purpose-built tools to close that gap. Between the lines: - The Innovation Hub placement gives Fieldman a visibility boost among utilities evaluating technologies that can shorten deployment timelines and improve operational control. - The emphasis on live deployment metrics and GIS accuracy suggests the market is shifting from basic work order tracking toward more integrated field-to-back-office systems. - Fieldman’s message centers on execution, not hardware, which aligns with the operational complexity of large-scale meter rollouts. What’s next: - Fieldman will use ACE26 to demo its platform to utilities and project teams. - The company is expected to lean on live workflow demonstrations and performance claims to support adoption conversations. - Attendees can find Fieldman at Innovation Hub Booth #119 during the conference. - More information is available on Fieldman’s LinkedIn page and Fieldman’s YouTube channel . The bottom line: - Fieldman is using AWWA ACE26 to position itself as a deployment-focused operating system for smart meter projects, with speed, visibility and data accuracy as the pitch.
