MIMS at a glance

3-GIS | MIMS is a mobile GIS and field execution platform for electric and gas utilities. It gives crews the tools to inspect assets, document conditions, run configured traces, capture redlines, manage assignments, and sync field activity back to enterprise systems in connected and disconnected environments.

Mobile utility GIS

Field work without the disconnect

Utility field teams are often slowed down by paper forms, disconnected apps, outdated maps, repeated data entry, and delayed updates. 3-GIS | MIMS brings maps, asset details, inspections, assignments, tracing, and redlining into one mobile experience, giving crews the context to complete work with fewer manual handoffs.

Field workflow support

More than mobile inspections

3-GIS | MIMS connects utility field activity to the network record, giving field and office teams a clearer way to manage inspections, updates, assignments, and operational response.

Inspections
Tracing
Assignments
Updates
Standardize field capture

Standardize asset-based inspections, location-based observations, patrols, surveys, and condition checks with configurable workflows that guide consistent data capture.

Analyze in the field
Give crews field-ready tracing tools to understand connectivity, manage isolation workflows, and act with confidence using configured network analysis.
Connect findings to work
Turn field findings, failed inspections, and operational needs into assignments crews can view, complete, and sync from the same mobile GIS environment. 
Keep records moving

Capture redlines, photos, notes, defects, as-built details, and asset updates in the field, then synchronize information back to enterprise systems.

Key features

Tools for utility crews

3-GIS | MIMS gives field teams practical, GIS-connected tools for the work that keeps utility networks safe, accurate, and operational. Each capability reduces disconnected processes while keeping field activity tied to enterprise records. 

1 icon
Structured redlining

Capture map corrections, field sketches, as-built notes, and observations as GIS-connected records with attributes, attachments, and workflow context.

2 icon
Controlled synchronization

Manage connected and disconnected field work with configurable data delivery and synchronization between mobile users and enterprise systems.

3 icon
Centralized configuration

Configure workflows, tools, user experiences, access rules, and synchronization behavior centrally so teams can standardize field execution at scale.

Customer success story

Turning inspections into action

45,000+

Facilities managed through GIS-based inspection and repair workflows.

See how Modesto Irrigation District connected GIS-based mobile inspections to repair assignments, helping defects move from field documentation to follow-up work without manual handoffs or disconnected systems.
