From slow approvals to missed revenue, regulated utilities are under pressure to modernize how they manage Real Estate and Land. At the core of the issue? Disconnected tools, manual steps, and processes that were never built for today’s pace or complexity.

Tressl is applying proven solutions from critical infrastructure to help the utilities sector eliminate friction, reduce risk, and reclaim control over Secondary Land Use (SLU) workflows.

Here are five key areas where regulated utilities can unlock immediate gains with a smarter, more connected approach.

1.  Fragmented, Manual Processes Leading to Bottlenecks

SLU requests rely on a mix of manual steps, siloed systems (REMS, SharePoint, CRM), and offline coordination with Infrastructure Ontario (IO), Legal, and internal stakeholders, resulting in long cycle times, confusion, and errors.

With Tressl:

• All steps are consolidated into a single, streamlined platform.
• Document generation, review, and approvals are automated.
• Real-time audit trails provide executive visibility without extra admin work.

No more juggling tools. No more dead ends.

2. Poor Applicant and Stakeholder Experience

Proponents can face unclear requirements, payment confusion, and long wait times. Internal stakeholders struggle to collect feedback and keep everyone informed.

Tressl improves visibility and communication:

• Applicants receive automated confirmations, T&Cs, and payment instructions.
• Progress is tracked transparently.
• Review cycles are streamlined through centralized feedback tools.

Less back and forth. More transparency and control for all parties involved.

3. Inconsistent Fee Calculation and Approval Workflows

Agreement fees, transaction types(Registered vs. Non-Registered), and appraisal logic are often managed through disconnected spreadsheets, ad-hoc processes, and manual approvals leading to errors and lost revenue.

Tressl brings structure and logic to every transaction:

• Fees are calculated automatically based on purpose and rate tables.
• Appraisals and approvals follow standardized workflows.
• Risk of miscalculation drops and revenue integrity goes up.

Consistent, rules-based logic ensures accuracy and saves time without relying on workarounds.

4. Lack of API and Integration Capabilities

Current solutions don’t connect with core systems (REMS, SAP, CRM), making it hard to share data, report outcomes, or track compliance.

Tressl helps future-proof operations with integration-ready architecture:

• Modular APIs exchange structured data with REMS, SAP, and CRM platforms.
• Data flows freely, eliminating rework and duplication.
• A single source of truth supports your full operational stack.

5. Regulatory and Governance Risk

Undocumented SLU processes can create compliance gaps with provincial regulations and oversight bodies like Infrastructure Ontario.

Tressl ensures compliance is built-in, not bolted on:

• Every request follows embedded regulatory logic.
• Approval steps and documents are tracked in real-time.
• Legal and compliance teams gain visibility and confidence.

Compliance isn’t a separate process it’s built directly into how work gets done.

Ready to Lead the Shift?

Utilities don’t need more tools. They need a better system, one that’s built to manage Real Estate and Land with speed, transparency, and compliance baked in.

Tressl is ready to help regulated utilities modernize what matters most. If your workflows still rely on manual coordination and disconnected systems, now’s the time to change that.
