Powering the future of electric utilities

SBS helps electric utilities create better designs in half the time, with automated tools that eliminate data-entry errors and improve accuracy from the start. Get high-quality, build-ready construction packages that reach the field correctly the first time, keeping projects on schedule and on budget.

Trusted by industry leaders

Built on decades of experience in utility design and construction, SBS solutions are trusted by leading electric utilities and engineering firms worldwide.

Gain the SBS Advantage

Automate design and analysis

Accelerate design and eliminate errors by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks in low-level design, including key analysis of cable pulling tension, flicker, and voltage drop.

Configure and enforce standards instantly

Apply company or regulatory design and engineering standards across every project. Configurable templates make it easy for internal teams and contract designers to maintain consistency.

Eliminate manual data entry

Seamlessly integrate with GIS, ERP, and EAM platforms to share design data automatically, reduce complexity during GIS and EAM system migrations, generate accurate BOMs, and reduce rework between design and construction.

Get new designers productive 80% faster

Use a familiar AutoCAD-based toolset and built-in standards to reduce onboarding and orientation time for new designers, reducing the runway for producing build-ready designs.

Meet the demands of modern electric utilities

Deliver projects faster

When designs are right the first time and data flows seamlessly between design, ERP, and GIS systems, your teams deliver higher-quality construction packages with fewer errors and less field rework. That means you get capital budgets that go further and communities that see better service sooner.

Manage contractors with confidence

Contractor designs are automatically validated against your standards before submission, ensuring consistent quality and reducing QA/QC review time. When requirements evolve, update your configuration templates once and instantly distribute the changes to keep everyone aligned and working from the same standard.

Minimize risk during system migrations

Major enterprise system migrations are part of an evolving technology landscape, but data disruption doesn’t have to be. SBS solutions keep design data where it belongs while connecting seamlessly to GIS and asset management systems. After migration, two-way data exchange ensures everything stays in sync, so your teams can move forward with clarity and confidence.
