HUBB Tracking & Reporting
In this presentation, we’ll take a look at a few of the frequently asked questions that can be found on the USAC website. Then we’ll focus on the functionality Customer Master has in place to collect your data. It’s important to note that while CM can provide the functionality, interpretation of the rules and requirements are up to you. This presentation will give you an introduction to the process and how Customer Master can help.
