CLUSTER FIELD-DATA-UTILITY · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2014-06-04
Utility field mapping apps
This cluster comprises mobile and cloud tools for utility crews to log, map, and share infrastructure assets such as poles, pipes, and underground lines, often pairing with GPS or Bluetooth locators. The dated entry history before the index start spans 2014 to 2026 with roughly annual additions, showing a sparse but steady cadence. Traction leadership is thin, with asoi-by-fikry the only product having any activity signal (1 star), while LocateIQ and Ziptility have none.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
