As part of the Joint Utility Maximo Project (JUMP), Montana Dakota Utility (MDU) successfully modernized its gas and electric operations by replacing inefficient paper-based processes with Locusview’s Digital Construction Management platform. By deploying high-accuracy RTK stations and mobile hardware to 300 crews, MDU eliminated manual data entry bottlenecks and transitioned its GIS team from data processors to high-level validators. This digital transformation resulted in a 70-80% reduction in review time and enabled real-time GIS updates within 24 hours of field approval, significantly streamlining MDU’s technology stack and enhancing operational decision-making.
