Built for Locators.By Locators.

Every DPS360 Pro locate tells the excavator what you found, how sure you are, and what still needs to be verified. Use it to educate your clients and keep your company's risk to a minimum.

Pick up your marks right on the map

Switch a page to the Geo Map and record your paint where it actually is. Walk the line with the tablet, drop points as you go, and the drawing lands on real-world coordinates, ready for Google Earth, GIS or CAD.

One complete locate tool

Designed by an AutoCAD draftsperson who locates for a living. Built for function, ease and speed, so the drawing gets done on the tailgate, not back at the office.

The DPS360 Pro drawing tool: a full toolbar along the top, facility lines, symbols and drawing tools on the left, the Geo Mode panel on the right, and water, electric and gas lines drawn over an aerial photo
The real DPS360 Pro drawing tool, on a live Geo Map job.

Geo drawing

Draw over live aerial imagery with GPS. Every line keeps its utility, type and locate confidence, and exports straight to Google Earth, GIS and CAD.

CAD-style sketching

For inside buildings, or when the aerial isn't there or isn't good enough. Snap, grid, ortho, trim, extend, offset, mirror, rotate, measure and leaders, the tools a drafter expects.

Photos from the tablet or phone

Take site photos right in the job, tag and caption them, and show the marks in them. Some jobs need only photos, and that's a report too.

A full symbol libraryElectrical, gas, communications, water, sewer, irrigation and more, in APWA colors, with scalable vaults, cabinets and tanks.
Notes on every itemDepths, inverts, valve and vault details, attached to the symbol or line and printed on their own page.
Site history by addressEvery locate is stored by address. Back at the same site, past drawings come up automatically, and you can search them any time.

Risk, explained the same way on every job

Every DPS360 Pro report carries a NAPUA risk classification. It rates the chance of striking a buried facility that wasn't located, based on the worst area of the site and the information available, and it sets the minimum controls before anyone digs. Tap a level.

What the site looks like

No records, no building access, no knowledgeable personnel, no visible appurtenances and no previous investigations.

What it means before digging

Treat it as unverified: full locating and exposure by hand or vacuum excavation before any mechanical excavation.

How sure are you about each line?

The risk class covers the site. Locate confidence covers every single line. Each line is drawn in its utility color, and its style shows how it was confirmed. Each dot is one independent verification: more dots, more confidence. A solid line means it was exposed and seen.

The legend prints on every drawing page, so the excavator never has to guess.

  • LC1Exposed and visually confirmed. How it was found doesn't matter once it's been seen.
  • LC2EM locate plus two independent checks, for example EM, records and GPR.
  • LC3EM locate plus one independent check, for example EM and records, or EM and GPR.
  • LC4EM locate only, blind. No records and no other verification.
  • LC5Records or recollection only. Plotted from an as-built or from someone on site, not located in the field.

Real reports. Your logo on them.

These are pages from a real DPS360 Pro locate report, with the client's details removed. Yours carries your logo, your colors and your terms. DPS360 Pro builds it from what was actually done on site.

Drawings in three sheet sizes

Pick the sheet that fits the site, and turn it to suit. North always points up the page, so long, narrow sites get the orientation they need.

A customer portal that does the office work

Your clients get their own sign-in. They book, approve and download on their own time, and your office stops chasing emails.

Request a locateCustomers book any time, with the details your office needs, and it lands in your intake.
Approve the estimateThey see your estimate and accept it online. The job moves to scheduling.
See where the job standsBooked, scheduled, on site, finished, released. No more "any update?" calls.
Accept your termsYour acknowledgements and terms are accepted before the report opens, and the acceptance is recorded.
Download the report and filesReleased reports and every file they asked for, in one place. You see when they downloaded.
Message the office and learnQuestions about the job go to the right thread, and training shows them how to read a locate report.

Educate your clients. Protect your company.

Paint on the ground only tells part of the story. DPS360 Pro makes sure your client knows what the paint means, what it doesn't, and what has to happen before they dig.

The full report, not just paintRisk class, confidence, limitations and controls go to the person directing the work.
Terms accepted before downloadClients accept your acknowledgements in the portal before they can open the report.
Released, not just sentA report is only valid once you release it. You see when the customer downloaded it.
Training in the portalCustomers learn how to read a locate report and why hand-digging matters.
