About 3-GIS
Built for complex networks
3-GIS is an enterprise software company that powers how telecom, electric, and gas organizations plan, build, manage, and maintain complex infrastructure networks. Since 2006, our team has combined deep GIS expertise, industry-specific software, and practical implementation experience to turn customers' network data into trusted, actionable insight.
Who we are
A clearer view of infrastructure
3-GIS was founded around a simple but powerful idea: network teams need a better way to manage the physical assets that keep people, businesses, and communities connected. Our name reflects the third generation of network management, moving beyond paper drawings and CAD-based desktop systems into web-based, GIS platforms that enable enterprise collaboration, data integrity, and real-time operational visibility.
Today, 3-GIS powers organizations across the telecommunications, electric, and gas industries with software and services built for the full infrastructure lifecycle. From fiber network planning and design to utility field operations, asset inventory, maintenance, and modernization, we give teams a dependable source of network truth.
