Introduction to Gas Distribution Data Management

Gas Distribution Data Management can be used to map gas distribution assets, edit data, and view system maps in the field and office.

It turns ArcGIS into a system for gas distribution organizations to easily inventory their assets and keep information up to date. It provides simple to use interactive system maps and dashboards for office and field staff, and increases collaboration.

After deploying, organizations with no gas distribution data can immediately begin mapping their gas distribution systems using GPS or digitizing data with web or desktop software. Organizations with existing spatial gas distribution data can load it and begin using the apps.
