KloudGin and Black & Veatch Collaborate to Deliver Unified Asset, Construction Work, and Field Service Management for Utilities and the Public Sector

Combining a century of utility engineering expertise with a unified EAM, FSM and CWM platform purpose-built for utilities

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KloudGin today announced a collaboration with Black & Veatch to deliver unified work and asset management solutions for utilities and public sector organizations. This partnership combines Black & Veatch’s consulting and engineering expertise and pairs it with KloudGin’s cloud-native, AI-native platform, the only solution integrating Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Field Service Management (FSM), and Construction Work Management (CWM) through a Single Face of Work®.

Utilities face increasing pressures, including rising electricity demand from AI infrastructure and electrification, an aging workforce, and outdated, fragmented systems that cannot meet modern operational needs. Organizations using disconnected solutions lose an estimated 20–30% of workforce productivity due to system-switching and data reconciliation. KloudGin and Black & Veatch now address these challenges by providing a unified operational platform supported by proven implementation expertise and more than a century of industry knowledge.

“The utility industry is navigating a generational inflection point — aging infrastructure, distributed energy resources, workforce transitions and rising customer and regulatory expectations are all converging at once,” said Joe Zhou, Infrastructure Advisory markets group leader, Black & Veatch. “Now we are helping clients deploy modern, best-practice solutions faster and with far less risk than legacy approaches allowed.”

“Utilities can’t afford systems that force impossible trade-offs — linear versus vertical assets, planned versus emergency work, internal crews versus contractors,” said Vikram Takru, Co-founder and CEO of KloudGin. “KloudGin’s Single Face of Work® was built to eliminate those trade-offs by connecting all work types, all asset classes and all people on a single platform. Black & Veatch brings the depth of utility experience and expertise that ensures our joint customers capture full value from day one. Together, we’re giving the industry the operational foundation it needs to lead through the transformation ahead.”

The collaboration between the two companies delivers a comprehensive solution for utilities and public sector organizations:

• Unified EAM, FSM and CWM in a Single Face of Work that reduces operational costs, improves workforce efficiency and safety, maximizes asset reliability and elevates customer service and satisfaction;
• Faster time-to-value with preconfigured, industry-specific solutions that incorporate utility best practices and reduce implementation risk;
• Support for hybrid workforces with advanced mobile capabilities for internal crews, contractors and mutual aid teams, including full offline functionality;
• ROI protection supported by Black & Veatch’s established change management methodology and workforce adoption expertise;
• Future-ready architecture built on a cloud-native, AI-native platform.
