Overview

The reference software suite for studying overhead and underground electricity networks

The Eras software suite provides management of study data right down to the electrical logic of the networks. Intelligence runs to the very core of the drawing and makes it possible to extract supply quantities, cable lengths and trench excavation and backfill volumes.

Eras is the most complete and productive solution for network studies. Design offices, works contractors, network operators (Enedis, GRDF), electrification syndicates, local authorities: with Eras, carry out your studies from A to Z, from execution drawings to the complete costing file.

Today, 85% of design offices trust Eras for their network projects.

Two complementary editions within the Elec & Gas by Sogelink offer

Eras is now part of the Elec & Gas by Sogelink offer, alongside the Atlas software. This offer includes two complementary editions: Elec & Gas Design, which covers the study of overhead and underground networks as well as the production of take-offs, diagrams and costing documents needed to start works; and Elec & Gas Design Carto, which combines these study features with the production of mapping plans that meet client requirements, as well as automatic conversion of DT/DICT. Both editions provide access to Sogelink Connect for viewing and collaborating on projects.

Access now by subscription

Since July 2024, Eras has been available exclusively by subscription, as part of the Switch M2S (Maintenance to Subscription) programme. This model guarantees ongoing access to the latest updates, new features and continuous integration with Sogelink Connect.

Why choose Eras?

End-to-end plan management
Produce complete study plans that include the electrical logic of the networks, from the base map through to technical statements and site plans. Eras covers the entire process, with no break between design and delivery.
Getting value from your data
Generate your supply quantities and quotes directly from the graphical study. The link between the drawing and the technical data eliminates re-entry and reduces costing errors.
Simplified procedures
Track the technical consistency of the study in real time thanks to colour codes and automatic checks. Eras handles the IC/OL regulatory obligations and automatically generates the documents to be delivered to clients (Enedis, GRDF).
