A Needle in a Haystack

Do you know how many errors you're missing?

Needle in a haystack

Random sampling yields random results. Most 811 centers randomly sample tickets to be reviewed. At best, 30 percent of tickets are reviewed, leaving many errors undetected. It’s literally like searching for needles in the haystack, but you only search part of the haystack and leave many needles behind. This is a safety risk that all too often the industry has adopted as business-as-usual.

With AI Ticket Review, all tickets are reviewed, the entire haystack is searched. And we can find double the needles that you are finding today! You decide how many flagged tickets you want to prioritize and review. Your agents spend more time correcting errors as opposed to identifying them.

How It Works

Ticket Review Process
  • Excavator submits a locate request and 811 center creates a ticket.
  • Within 30 minutes of the ticket being created, AI Ticket Review assigns a score to the ticket signifying how likely the ticket is to have an error.
  • Call center agents review tickets that are flagged via a web portal. Agents review tickets to confirm errors and take appropriate actions based on call center policies.

New Efficiencies and Enhanced Safety
In Virginia where the technology is in place, VA811 receives 2,800 tickets per day. Previous to this AI-powered system, 30 percent of tickets were randomly reviewed. Now, 100% of tickets are reviewed within 30 minutes of submission. Virginia’s goal is to review all flagged-for-error tickets within 3 hours.

Some 811 centers review tickets the night after they are submitted, and that causes issues for locators, especially if they have started working on a ticket only to have it canceled or suspended. With AI Ticket Review, reviewing the ticket within a few hours all but eliminates this issue.

Case Study: Transforming Ticket Quality Control

The Challenge
TN811 could only manually review 20-30% of all utility locate requests, leaving many errors undetected and posing potential safety risks. Increasing ticket volume made manual QC inefficient and costly.
The Solution
Skapa deployed its AI-powered Ticket Review System, automatically scoring every ticket for error likelihood within 30 minutes and prioritizing tickets for agent review.
The Result
TN811 now uses AI to review 100% of tickets, more than doubling error detection with existing staff, and reduced manual QC time while improving safety and resolution oversight.

"The implementation of AI powered QC review has been nothing short of transformative. By leveraging AI to review 100% of our web-entered tickets, we've doubled the number of errors we detect! This targeted approach allows our auditors to focus their expertise where it's truly needed rather than randomly sampling tickets. AI isn't replacing our people; it's empowering them to work smarter and deliver better results."
