About FuturaGIS
FuturaGIS is a GIS & Asset Management software/platform from Futura Systems that helps build and maintain critical systems of records for utility asset infrastructure management. It combines GIS & Asset Management, Staking & Indigo Projects, and FieldPro so organizations can effectively manage their assets and operations. FuturaGIS supports utilities in tracking outages, managing projects, and maintaining accurate geographical data. The platform is designed to meet the demands of today's mission-critical systems, enabling users to access essential information quickly and efficiently. Key capabilities: GIS & Asset Management Outage Management Staking Projects FieldPro Utility Tracking Best for: utility companies that need comprehensive tools for asset management and infrastructure oversight.
FuturaGIS is a highly specialized, enterprise-grade GIS and Asset Management platform developed by an Esri Gold Partner, designed exclusively for electric, gas, and water distribution utilities across the United States. Its core strength lies in providing a single system of record for all utility assets, seamlessly integrating mapping, high-performance Outage Management (OMS), and Staking/Field Design into one unified, real-time data environment. By simplifying complex GIS tasks for non-GIS personnel and ensuring continuous data integrity through deep Esri ArcGIS integration, FuturaGIS dramatically enhances operational efficiency and emergency response times. While its cost is significant and its utility-centric focus is narrow, it is considered a leading, transformational solution for utility cooperatives and municipalities seeking a robust, end-to-end asset management system.
Pros & Cons
- +Ensures stability and compatibility with industry standards.
- +High performance, speed, and advanced network tracing features to improve restoration times.
- +Achieves seamless, single-entry data exchange across GIS, field operations, and back-office systems
- −The implementation requires professional services for system architecture, data migration, and extensive staff training.
- −Its primary market and customer base are utilities across the United States
- −It is unsuitable for non-utility GIS applications
Features
Key features
- Esri Gold Partner Integration
- The software is built inside the core Esri model and geodatabase, providing a deep, reliable integration with the industry-standard GIS platform.
- Integrated Asset Management
- Combines a powerful mapping application with a comprehensive Asset Management System, ensuring the GIS map serves as the official system of record for all utility assets (meters, transformers, poles).
- High-Performance Outage Management (FuturaOMS)
- Improves response times and reduces outage durations using automated predictions, network tracing, switching, and the ability to diagnose the exact location of a protective device failure.
- Staking & Field Design (FuturaStake)
- Gives designers and engineers powerful tools to design new engineering projects, generate staking sheets, bills of material, and cost estimates directly in the field or office.
- Seamless Data Exchange
- Features a single point of data entry where updates from field operations (Staking, Inspections) automatically feed into the GIS, Customer Information System (CIS), and Asset Management system in real-time.
- Empowerment of Non-GIS Personnel
- Provides simplified tools and views that allow non-GIS users (like field technicians or dispatchers) to perform core asset management tasks, such as tracking joint usage or changing out transformers.
Additional features
- Powerful Mapping & Editing
- Robust tools for mapping and editing utility network assets within the Esri geodatabase structure.
- Asset Management System
- Monitors and reconciles serialized assets like transformers and capacitors, providing tracking and reporting from a web-based platform.
- Outage Management System (OMS)
- Automates outage predictions, network tracing, and switching to reduce outage durations and improve reliability.
- Staking & Project Design (FuturaStake)
- Software to create high-quality field designs, including staking sheets, job estimates, and materials tickets.
- Work Order Management (ProjectTracker)
- A browser-based system for managing, dispatching, and completing work items associated with asset construction or maintenance.
- Mobile Workforce Solutions (FieldPro/Mobile)
- High-performance mobile applications (iOS/Web-based) enabling field staff to access and update real-time GIS, OMS, and Inspection data remotely.
- Field Inspection Tools
- Fully customizable field solution tools that allow technicians to capture photos, complete checklists, and access service history, even while offline.
- Data Validation and Quality Control
- Systems to ensure data accuracy across the entire Futura suite, eliminating redundant data entry and maintaining a "clean" geodatabase.
- Operational Analytics (CatalystIQ)
- Provides data synergy and operational analytics for the informed utility, transforming collected GIS data into actionable insights.
- Configurable Map Views
- Allows engineers and users to configure their own map views and customize symbology to meet specific departmental needs.
