What Clearion Software does

Clearion is a vegetation management and inspection product within Arcos LLC's OnCommand Suite, an AI-enabled utility workforce management platform that functions as a unified operational control tower for crews, work, and assets. The platform combines rules-driven crew callout and scheduling, real-time crew tracking (including mutual aid convoy tracking), mobile work-execution tools such as Assess & Restore, and GIS-native lifecycle management for vegetation and inspection programs. Clearion specifically addresses proactive vegetation and wildfire maintenance mitigation, enabling utilities to plan, dispatch, and document field work while capturing auditable records for regulators, FEMA, and rate cases. Underlying technology includes AI-assisted automation, GIS integration, two-way field crew communication, and mobile applications available on iOS and Google Play stores.

Arcos LLC, the operating entity (founded 1994, headquartered at 8800 Lyra Drive, Suite 200, Columbus, OH), sells exclusively to enterprise customers — Fortune 150 energy companies down to municipal utilities — across electric, gas, water, and broader critical infrastructure verticals, with a secondary footprint in commercial airlines (United, Hawaiian, Alaska) for flight and ground crew staffing. The company monetizes through annual SaaS subscriptions on a quote-based, enterprise licensing model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (workshops, demos), an annual EMPOWER user conference, content marketing, and a formalized Partner Network program. Customer segments span five verticals (Electric Utilities as primary, plus Gas, Water, Critical Infrastructure, and Airlines). Notable customers include Duke Energy, PG&E, Southern Company, Exelon, ConEdison, American Electric Power, Piedmont Natural Gas, Central Hudson Gas & Electric, Pedernales Electric Cooperative, Lincoln Electric System, and ComEd. In 2025, Arcos received a strategic growth investment from Bain Capital to scale its AI-enabled workforce management capabilities.

Core offering

Clearion Software is a vegetation management and wildfire mitigation solution delivered as part of the Arcos OnCommand Suite. It enables electric utilities, cooperatives, and municipal power providers to track, prioritize, and execute vegetation work around power lines and to coordinate wildfire risk reduction activities alongside broader storm response and crew mobilization operations.

Product overview

Arcos offers a unified platform called OnCommand Suite with multiple integrated products. Clearion is one of the product offerings focused on vegetation management and inspection work. The product portfolio includes Callout (crew mobilization), Crew Manager (crew tracking), Assess & Restore (mobile app for field work), TextPower (urgent alerts), Ascend (flight crew staffing), and RosterApps (ground crew scheduling). These products work together as an integrated operational control tower for utility workforce management, connecting people, work, and resources from mobilization through closeout.
