• Build and lead a field deployment team (FAEs or PLSs), supplemented by qualified third-party partners where surge capacity or specialized skills are needed.
• Establish repeatable playbooks for site readiness, safety, install standards, and commissioning so each deployment is faster and more reliable than the last.
• Operationalize worksite data by working with strategic cloud-based construction management platforms (e.g., Procore, Autodesk) and AI partners to put telematics and other worksite data to work in customer workflows and decision-making.
