Utility & Industrial Asset GIS

How much field time and outage duration is caused by not having a trusted, connected asset map?

Evidence distinction: this is a representative solution case constructed from the source requirements and Mappls delivery pattern. It is not presented as a named-customer outcome unless a separate verified customer story is explicitly linked.

01 · Operating context

The decision environment and the problem to change

Asset location, connectivity, drawings and maintenance records are inconsistent, raising outage, safety, planning and field-productivity risk.

Primary operating owner

Director/Head Distribution; Plant Head; Asset Management/Engineering Head

Economic decision

CMD/MD; Director Technical; Plant/Business CEO

Technical influence

GIS Head; OT/SCADA; CIO; Maintenance; EPC/SI

Why action becomes urgent

RDSS/utility reform, asset audit, SCADA/ADMS rollout, plant expansion, safety incident, legacy GIS/EAM replacement.

02 · Before and after

Change the operating model, not only the interface

Before Mappls

Fragmented context and delayed action

Asset location, connectivity, drawings and maintenance records are inconsistent, raising outage, safety, planning and field-productivity risk.

  • Location, operational and enterprise data remain separated
  • Stakeholders make inconsistent decisions from partial context
  • Exceptions are found late and evidence is difficult to reconstruct
With Mappls

A governed location-aware decision loop

Survey/base map, network/plant GIS, 2D/3D plans, asset registry, mobile inspection, SCADA/EAM integration, VTS/security layers and analytics.

  • One role-aware workspace in Mappls Utility Network Operations
  • Live context moves directly into the responsible workflow
  • Every decision, scenario and outcome can be measured and audited

04 · Day-in-the-life journey

How the solution turns information into an operational result

01

Frame the operating decision

Asset/network completeness? Update process? Outage/fault workflow? SCADA/EAM interfaces? Positional accuracy? Field adoption?

02

Connect the location foundation

Bring the required map, address, road, place, imagery, asset, customer and operational data into a governed Utility Ops workspace.

03

Act through role workflows

Network map, Outages, Maintenance, Crews, Planning give each stakeholder the information, decision and action appropriate to their role.

04

Prove the intervention

6–10 week feeder/zone pilot: survey/reconciliation, GIS, mobile workflow and one enterprise integration.

05

Scale and continuously improve

Operationalise the model through Data/survey + enterprise licence/subscription + integration + devices where relevant + AMC/managed updates., adoption governance, service measurement and a managed improvement backlog.

05 · Solution and data architecture

06 · Outcome and evidence

Make the value claim measurable before scaling

Value hypothesisBusiness case: fewer truck rolls/rework, faster outage/fault response, lower loss/leakage, better capex planning and audit compliance.
Success criteriaAsset completeness/accuracy; update workflow; task-time improvement; integration feasibility; business owner acceptance.

Bounded proof

6–10 week feeder/zone pilot: survey/reconciliation, GIS, mobile workflow and one enterprise integration.

  • Confirm the baseline and decision scope: Asset/network completeness? Update process? Outage/fault workflow? SCADA/EAM interfaces? Positional accuracy? Field adoption?
  • Use representative and, where approved, customer data in the configured workspace
  • Review measurable success with the operating and economic owners: Asset completeness/accuracy; update workflow; task-time improvement; integration feasibility; business owner acceptance.
  • Document data quality, adoption, security, service and scale findings
  • Convert evidence into a phased production scope and accountable value plan

07 · Governance and scale

Operate the solution safely and sustainably

Identity and access

Server-enforced identity, least-privilege app membership, role-specific actions and auditable administration.

Data governance

Source lineage, quality thresholds, update cadence, retention, consent and controlled data sharing.

Operating governance

Named process owners, exception SLAs, escalation, change control and adoption measurement.

Value governance

Baseline, intervention and outcome metrics reviewed on an agreed cadence with accountable owners.
