Cables represent more than 50% of the typical bulk electrical expenditures of Capital Projects and is the single most likely to become a liability through waste, damage, theft or surplus. CMMS Cable Management reduces such investment costs and eliminates these pressures, contributing significantly to cost savings.
How it works
After determining which cable sizes need managing, the CMMS team enters the roll-up quantities from the engineered cable MTO list into the Project Catalog.

Wholesale Electric CMMS negotiates return policy with cable manufacturers and purchases cable on the longest possible master reels.
When a field-verified length of cable is requested, the system determines the most efficient reel from which to cut the request. All cut lengths are tagged by circuit ID as per the field release. At any time, real-time status of cable circuit numbers and reel lengths can be accessed online.
Empty reels are removed from the job site, keeping it clean and safe. Reels are re-used to keep costs low.

when needed and already cut to the
right lengths

job site.
- Cable damage in the field.
- Storage, handling equipment and
security costs.

is invoiced only when cable is
released to the field.
