ECHO is designed for operations in the built environment and supports Grounds Maintenance operations in areas such as parks, verges, playing fields, cemeteries and beaches. Services to these environments need to cope with a range of unique factors affecting schedules such as weather, season, regularity and tasks per period and ECHO is developed to manage these complexities such that crews can have access to both regular scheduled tasks such as gate and facility security, ad hoc tasks such as fence repair and other tasks that can be done during a period of time.
