One of the biggest difficulties users face with the current Before You Dig process is the manual receipt and collation of responses from asset owners.

In SmarterWX Locate, the primary feature is the ability to streamline and easily manage responses for Before You Dig enquiries. You can create an enquiry directly through Locate and manage the complete process within the portal, if the required commercial agreements are in place.

The more common flow would be that you submit an enquiry in 1100.com.au, and manage the enquiry in Locate. To do this, follow a simple guide in Locate to update the email address of your 1100.com.au account to a pre-defined email address (provided), which redirects all responses from asset owners to Locate to be collated and managed on your behalf.

Once this is done, you can continue to submit enquiries through 1100.com.au or your GIS applications and manage within Locate, rather than manually.
