Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system that operates on a server includes a time and expense management interface for obtaining crew specific information for crews maintaining a utility distribution system. The server is coupled to a wireless communication infrastructure for receiving crew specific information. A portable electronic device receives a selection of a crew with members. The portable electronic device receives the identifier of the at least one or more members of the crew. Once verified, the portable device receives time entries and expense entries, for the at least one or more members of the crew. Business rules are applied to the time entries and expense entries. Once the business rules are satisfied, the time entries and expense entries are stored on the portable electronic device. When the portable electronic device is in proximity to the wireless communication infrastructure, the crew specific information is transmitted to server.
