1. Problem Statement

User Roles Identified

• Tenant Admin: Super admin with highest level access across all utility operations
• Utility Admin: Utility-level administrator managing regional operations
• CIO Admin: Technology administrator overseeing system configurations

Pain Points by User Role

Tenant Admin:

• Difficulty in maintaining consistent hierarchical structure across multiple utility regions
• Lack of real-time visibility into service area performance metrics across the entire network
• Complex manual processes for bulk operations across thousands of service entities
• Inconsistent data quality and naming conventions across different geographic levels
• Limited ability to quickly identify and resolve service area boundary conflicts

Utility Admin:

• Time-consuming manual creation and management of service area hierarchies
• Inability to efficiently track and manage service area assignments and responsibilities
• Difficulty in maintaining accurate coverage area calculations and geographic boundaries
• Complex process for activating/deactivating service areas based on operational requirements
• Limited search and filtering capabilities when managing hundreds of entities

CIO Admin:

• Challenges in ensuring data integrity across the hierarchical service area structure
• Complex user access management for different geographic regions and entity types
• Difficulty in maintaining system performance with large datasets (12,547+ premises)
• Limited automation capabilities for routine service area management tasks
• Inconsistent audit trails and change tracking across different entity levels

Core Problem

The current service area management system lacks efficient tools for managing complex hierarchical geographic structures, resulting in manual overhead, data inconsistencies, and operational inefficiencies across utility service territories.

2. Who Are the Users Facing the Problem?

Tenant Admin

• Responsibilities: Overall system governance, multi-utility oversight, strategic planning
• Access Level: Full system access across all utilities and regions
• Should have access to: All features including bulk operations, system-wide analytics, and configuration management

Utility Admin

• Responsibilities: Regional service area management, operational oversight, team coordination
• Access Level: Utility-specific access with regional management capabilities
• Should have access to: Entity management, regional analytics, user assignment, and operational controls

CIO Admin

• Responsibilities: Technical system management, data integrity, security oversight
• Access Level: System administration with focus on technical operations
• Should have access to: System configuration, data management tools, audit capabilities, and technical maintenance features

3. Jobs To Be Done

For Tenant Admin: When I need to oversee service area performance across multiple utilities, but I face fragmented data views and inconsistent reporting across different regions, help me consolidate and standardize service area management processes, so that I can make informed strategic decisions and ensure operational consistency across the entire network.

For Utility Admin: When I need to efficiently manage hundreds of service areas within my utility region, but I struggle with time-consuming manual processes and limited bulk operation capabilities, help me streamline entity creation, modification, and maintenance workflows, so that I can focus on strategic planning rather than administrative tasks.

For CIO Admin: When I need to maintain system integrity and performance across thousands of service entities, but I encounter data quality issues and complex technical maintenance requirements, help me implement automated data validation and system optimization tools, so that I can ensure reliable system performance and data accuracy.

For Utility Admin (Geographic Management): When I need to create and maintain accurate geographic hierarchies from regions down to individual premises, but I face complex parent-child relationships and boundary management challenges, help me establish clear geographic structures and automated validation rules, so that I can maintain accurate service territory definitions.

For Tenant Admin (Strategic Oversight): When I need to analyze service area effectiveness and resource allocation across multiple utilities, but I lack comprehensive analytical capabilities and real-time performance insights, help me access unified reporting and analytics dashboards, so that I can optimize resource distribution and identify expansion opportunities.
