Utilities & Energy

End-to-end visibility into every network edit, dataset, and workflow within ArcGIS Pro.

Electric, gas, and water utilities can’t afford data blind spots. From as-built updates to data integrity management, you need defensible GIS records and a way to measure the real-world effort it takes to maintain them. ChronoCards captures detailed ArcGIS Pro activity in real-time, giving GIS managers, supervisors, and compliance officers the insight they need to keep assets accurate, teams productive, and regulators satisfied.

Reduce field-to-database cycle time, gain visibility into GIS workflows, and make evidence-based staffing decisions.

Designed for the Demands of Utilities & Energy

Track Network Editing & Data Production

Utility mappers create thousands of edits across multiple versions every day, making it hard to prove progress or trace bad data. ChronoCards logs every change (down to the object ID), so supervisors always have the full story.

  • See daily edit counts per user, feature class, branch, or SDE version
  • Audit who created, modified, or deleted each object and when it happened
  • Compare active editing time vs. idle time to uncover training or workflow gaps

Know exactly what changed, where, and by whom— no micromanagement required.

Accelerate As-Built Updates & Reduce Cycle Time

Utilities often fight a never-ending backlog of work to keep the database up to date with what’s happened in the field. ChronoCards highlights how long each update actually takes and where processes stall, helping you streamline QA/QC and slash days from field-to-database posting time.

  • Filter by editor, layer, or SDE version to see who or what needs extra resources
  • Break down editing, QA/QC, and reconcile durations to expose true bottlenecks
  • Export cycle-time metrics to prove ROI on process improvements and new hires

Find the delays, fix the flow, and get as-builts live in record time.

Preserve Institutional Knowledge & Train Faster

Retirements and contractor turnover can erase years of hard-won know-how. ChronoCards captures every step of critical tasks (such as valve isolation traces or cathodic protection models) so the expertise stays even when the expert leaves.

  • Auto-log edits, geoprocessing tools, and parameters in real-time while analysts work
  • Add notes and screenshots directly within ArcGIS Pro for full context
  • Bundle selected log items into sharable process documents or no-code Python notebooks
  • Create a knowledge base that lets new hires replicate workflows on day one

Capture expertise before it walks out the door! Onboard new staff in hours, not weeks.

Stay Audit-Ready for Safety & Compliance Reviews

Stay Audit-Ready for Safety & Compliance Reviews

Pipeline safety audits, inspections, and internal reviews all demand airtight proof of data lineage. ChronoCards maintains a tamper-proof record so you can produce answers on the spot instead of chasing down emails and meeting notes.

  • Time-stamped log entries are tied to users authenticated via ArcGIS Online or Portal
  • Users can optionally add contextual notes and screenshots to explain intent or issues, all without leaving ArcGIS Pro
  • Logs silently in the background: users don’t need to do anything differently

Always be inspection-ready: no more scrambling for documentation.

Optimize Staffing & Infrastructure Investments

View edits and hours each analyst was active in each project.

Guesswork won’t cut it when deciding whether to add headcount or upgrade hardware. ChronoCards translates everyday GIS activity into clear metrics that reveal overworked analysts and underperforming systems before they become bottlenecks.

  • Total hours and edit counts per project or session (with a summary of work completed)
  • Active editing time vs. processing time per user, project, or layer (with version)
  • Organization-wide usage trends for forecasting license, storage, and compute needs

Back your capital requests and staffing plans with hard numbers instead of anecdotes.

Why Utilities & Energy Teams Choose ChronoCards

Pain PointChronoCards Solution
No visibility into daily data production or timelineReal-time, with version activity logs show exactly what each mapper changed and when.
Audits require granular proof of data lineage Immutable logs and dashboards make it easy to see a history of activity against a specific dataset or version.
Employee turnover jeopardizes institutional knowledge Expert processes are recorded automatically and can be easily shared across the organization, allowing new staff to replicate them instantly.
Difficulty quantifying effort for budgeting Analytics provide hours-per-project, edit counts, and performance metrics to support staffing and funding requests.
IT infrastructure bottlenecks cause slowdowns Session metrics (project open times, edit lag, tool runtime) provide data to highlight infrastructure constraints.
(Insights compiled from current ChronoCards customers.)
