The third-generation South Pole Telescope survey (SPT-3G) provides a major advancement in wide-field mm-wave observations, reaching a sensitivity ~5× deeper than the original SPT-SZ survey. Models predict that SPT-3G maps will reveal orders-of-magnitude more dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z > 6. Identifying these rare sources requires the efficient inspection of large multiwavelength datasets, including Spitzer imaging of the 100 deg² Spitzer-SPT Deep Field, Herschel/SPIRE maps at 250–500 μm, and deep MeerKAT radio observations. To address this challenge, I developed an interactive web tool that enables rapid visual inspection and annotation of SPT3G sources, integrates multiple datasets, and facilitates selection of the most promising candidates for follow-up with ALMA and other instruments. I will demonstrate the capabilities of this tool and discuss its potential for accelerating the analysis of the SPT3G survey data.
