A shared understanding of the network
Bring assets, connections and operating states into a consistent model. Give GIS specialists, data managers and operations teams a clearer picture of the same network.
OPEN-SOURCE NETWORK INTELLIGENCE
Understand your network.
Beyond the map.
Plexopus helps utilities and GIS teams model, validate and explore service networks. Understand how assets connect, spot inconsistent data and make sense of the network behind the map.
In active developmentInitial focus: water networks
Every connection has a meaning.

01 / WHY PLEXOPUS
A map tells you where.
Plexopus helps you see how.
Knowing where a pipe or a valve is located is only part of the picture. Teams also need to know what connects to what, which relationships are valid, and how operating conditions change the paths through a network.
Data you can check
Identify connections that break your rules and inconsistencies in asset data. Turn scattered checks into a clearer understanding of network quality.
Freedom to choose your tools
Develop network intelligence around an open GIS ecosystem. Keep control of your data and choose a deployment that fits your organisation.
02 / WHAT YOU CAN DO
From asset records
to network understanding.
Plexopus brings together the fundamentals of utility network management. These capabilities form the current development baseline.
Model your assets
Describe asset types, their properties and the ways they can connect. Organise a network around the rules of your service.
Explore connectivity
Find assets reachable from a starting point. Follow connections while accounting for operating states, such as an open or closed valve.
Validate network data
Check network connections and asset information against your model. Find issues that need attention before they undermine analysis.
Work with existing data
Bring supported utility network datasets into Plexopus, including a conversion path for Esri Utility Network data.
CONNECTIONS IN PRACTICE
One valve.
A different connected network.
A line on a map does not tell the whole story. An operating state can change which assets are reachable. Try closing the valve to see the idea in action.
Simplified illustration of connectivity, not a hydraulic simulation or a product screenshot.
The connection is open. The trace can reach the service area.

WHO IT IS FOR
Built around the people
who look after networks.
Utilities & network operators
Build a clearer view of infrastructure and its connections to support day-to-day network understanding.
GIS & data teams
Move from mapped features to a coherent network, with explicit connections and quality checks.
Public bodies & partners
Explore an open approach to infrastructure information while retaining control over tools and deployment.
03 / AN OPEN ECOSYSTEM
Your network.
Your tools. Your environment.
Plexopus is designed to work with different open-source GIS tools, including QGIS and GeoServer. Compatibility is a project direction; dedicated integrations are being developed progressively.
QGISGeoServerOpen-source GIS
QGIS integration and GIS publishing are part of the roadmap.
Cloud native
Designed for cloud environments, so deployment can follow your organisation’s needs.
Also on premises
Install Plexopus within your own infrastructure when local control and internal hosting are required.
An open-source project
Plexopus is developed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Its direction centres on openness, interoperability and control of your network information.
MPL-2.0A FOUNDATION FOR UTILITY NETWORKS
Starting with water.
Thinking across services.
The current focus is water networks. The longer-term vision extends to other utilities, with dedicated capabilities developed progressively.

04 / THE ROAD AHEAD
A clear direction.
Room to grow.
An overview of the project’s direction. Future stages are indicative and carry no delivery dates or commitments.
Current development
Foundation
Asset modelling, connectivity, rule-based validation and connected tracing, with a first focus on water networks.
Next priorities
Consolidation
Access control, more controlled updates and continued work on reliability and usability.
Future direction
Expansion
Richer network analysis, closer GIS integration, collaborative workflows and additional utility profiles.
