Enhancing Project Visibility: New Features That Transform Asset Discovery and Workflow Management

Finding specific assets in massive datasets and managing complex attachment workflows are persistent challenges in utility operations. Teams lose valuable time searching through thousands of poles, struggle with fragmented approval processes, and lack efficient ways to visualize project data.

This month's release addresses these pain points with powerful search capabilities, immersive 360° visualization, and streamlined attachment management. These features can help eliminate discovery friction and accelerate project delivery timelines.

Comprehensive Asset Search

The new Search Page transforms how teams locate specific infrastructure within large datasets. Search by location, address, or indexed attributes across Reference Layers and Master Location Directories with expanded radius options to find the nearest relevant results.

How it works:

• Search across entire datasets using location, address, or custom attributes

• Expand search radius automatically to locate nearby assets when exact matches aren't found

• Access shared Master Location Directories, enabling contractors and read-only companies to view relevant records

Field teams can instantly locate target poles and reference points without manual scrolling through hundreds of records. Project managers gain immediate access to historical data and asset contexts. The result? Faster site preparation and more informed field decisions.

Immersive 360° Photo Experience

Any 360° photos uploaded with a 2:1 aspect ratio can now be viewed and annotated in the new Panorama View, providing complete situational context for pole locations and surrounding infrastructure. 

Field crews can review comprehensive site conditions before arrival, reducing reconnaissance time and improving preparation accuracy. Design teams can make more informed decisions with full environmental context rather than limited standard photo perspectives.

*Currently, 360 photos are not valid for calibration within Katapult Pro, but offer much more contextual data than other image formats.

Enhanced Project Access

Custom Pages allow teams to create direct links to frequently-used external tools and internal Katapult Pro sections, reducing navigation time and improving workflow efficiency.

Moving Forward

These updates eliminate the asset discovery and workflow management bottlenecks that delay infrastructure projects: inefficient search processes, limited visual context, and fragmented approval systems. Teams can focus on design and construction rather than hunting for information.
