Insights for Damage Prevention

AI Models Trained on Millions of Data Points Deliver Powerful Insights for Damage Prevention

Without AI-powered insights and platforms, damage prevention professionals manually juggle thousands of 811 tickets and don’t have the insight to connect the dots for which ticket should be prioritized due to its higher likelihood of an incident.

Irth processes more one call tickets across North America than any other company. We have more and better data to train our AI models to fit the needs of each industry we serve. Our customers can combine their historical and industry-wide risk factors to gain the most useful insights. We retrain all our AI models every day, ensuring they continue improving based on new data.

But that data means nothing if you can’t understand it. Irth Insights for Damage Prevention enables understanding. Delivering more than 50 million insights each year, it tells a story based on each ticket’s risk profile using natural language, making it easy to understand what actions they should take to reduce damages.

Routing and Assigning 811 Tickets

Increase productivity and streamline ticket management by always assigning the right person at the right time to the right ticket with dynamic routing for 811 tickets.

Automatically configure your locators’ schedules and starting locations using ESRI for fleet management.

By analyzing data from diverse sources, including nearly any element of an 811 ticket, geography, registration code, ticket type, and more, to route the ticket, the number of tickets that require manual intervention is reduced.

Customers can choose a build-it-yourself approach or allow Irth’s dynamic routing module to optimize the assignment and routing of tickets based on nearly any criteria, including user OQ status, location, proficiency, ticket data, and more.

Dynamically routed tickets are automatically displayed in the mobile application, allowing each locator to know what they need to work on and when.

811 Ticket Risk Scoring

Our industry-leading AI engine analyzes and identifies an 811 ticket’s likelihood of an incident and potential impact, driving your damage prevention efforts.


Irth’s machine learning model analyzes risk criteria and damage data to produce an Insights AI score (incident likelihood percentile) for each ticket.

Irth uses a large language model (LLM) to create a readable risk reason from the Insights AI score explaining the “why” behind the score in easy-to-understand language.

When you can understand the risk of a ticket, you can take better actions to reduce damages.
