Field-Ready by Design

Work where the job takes you – online or offline

With DDS Designer, engineers can stake and submit precise designs directly from their phones or tablets. Whether you’re working in the woods or walking a subdivision, DDS equips you to collect data accurately, safely, and efficiently.

Test Drive

Back in the Office, Power Meets Precision 

Turn field insights into actionable designs.

DDS Desktop enables utility engineers to create construction-ready graphic designs using a unified workspace that includes every standard, part, and material needed.

Embedded Engineering Tools:

  • Structural, clearance, and electrical analysis engine- 4x faster and always standards-compliant.
  • 3D visualization module for real-world clarity with customers and crews.

Engineering First: 

  • Built to meet the needs of utilities that value high-quality design practices-not shortcuts.

Compatible:

  • Esri ArcGIS map data is available online or offline.
  • Supports GPS/GNSS receivers for precision.
  • Eliminates paper-based collection.

In-Field Advantages

With just a smartphone or tablet, one engineer can efficiently and accurately map and record detailed project site elevations and obstructions while avoiding challenging or hazardous terrain.

DDS Designer allows a smaller set of standards to serve a wider set of location, environmental, and business use cases, simplifying the designer’s work by creating a path to the required equipment. This greatly reduces errors and return trips to the field.

Safety

Designers avoid hazardous terrain and guesswork by capturing accurate field data from a mobile device. This allows the designers to ditch the tape measure and wheel.

Flexibility

Start designs in the field or refine them back in the office. DDS Designer seamlessly syncs with your Distribution Design Studio workspace.

Efficiency

Cut field time by up to 50% and reduce rework with real-time data capture, visual accuracy, and immediate integration with engineering tools.

Hardware that Withstands the Work

We proudly support and offer Panasonic TOUGHBOOK® tablets and Trimble® GPS/GNSS receivers for rugged, reliable field use. Ensuring DDS and DDS Designer work wherever your engineers work.
