The Impossible Position
.png)
Your Joint Use Department Wasn't Built for This Volume
Application requests are flooding in at 2-3x normal volume, but your processes weren't designed to scale. You're spending days chasing pole data scattered across spreadsheets and outdated systems while FCC shot clocks tick and executives ask why joint use has become the bottleneck. You're caught in an impossible position: rush approvals and risk safety, or verify every pole and miss deadlines.
You shouldn't have to choose between speed, safety, and sanity. And the data flowing through your department shouldn't disappear into filing cabinets, it should be building something valuable.
From Bottleneck to Command Center

Meet Katapult Pro
Joint Use Management:
Your Command Center for Pole Attachments
Katapult Pro Joint Use Management transforms how utilities manage pole attachment applications with one integrated platform. Field data flows directly into applications, engineering analysis happens in real-time, and every stakeholder sees live status updates. No more scattered spreadsheets.
You spend less time chasing information and more time making confident decisions. And every application you process adds validated data to your infrastructure picture.
Your Joint Use Department Wasn't Built for This Volume
Application requests are flooding in, 2 to 3 times your normal volume, but your processes weren't designed to scale. You're caught in an impossible position: rush approvals and risk safety compliance, or take the time to verify every pole and miss regulatory deadlines. When attachers claim you're the bottleneck, you don't have the documented proof to push back. Either choice feels like failure. You shouldn't have to choose between speed, safety, and sanity. And the data flowing through your department shouldn't disappear into filing cabinets, it should be building something valuable.

Unlike scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools, we provide a single source of truth for all stakeholders, attachers, contractors, field crews, and your internal team. Field data flows directly into attachment applications. Engineering analysis happens in the same platform where applications progress through workflow. Everyone sees real-time status updates.
You spend less time chasing information and more time making confident decisions. And every application you process adds validated data to your infrastructure picture.
Katapult Pro
3 Core Value Props
You make the world a safer, more connected place. We want to make it easy. Designed to improve data collection, engineering design, and workflow management, Katapult Pro streamlines your projects and processes so you meet and exceed your goals.
01
Process Attachments at Scale Without Adding Staff
Automated workflows ensure consistent handoffs and clear communication. Timeline tracking shows application status against FCC deadlines. Transparent updates eliminate "where's my application?" calls, letting attachers and contractors move applications forward while your team focuses on decisions, not status checks.
02
End the Data Chase
Field crews upload accurate pole measurements, photos, and loading data directly from the ground. Information flows into your approval workflow, eliminating days spent tracking down data across multiple systems. You focus on engineering decisions, not detective work. And that field-verified data doesn't disappear after approval, it becomes part of your permanent infrastructure record.
03
Engineering and Workflow in One Platform
Your attachment application isn't just a ticket, it's the engineering deliverable itself. Contractors and engineers work directly in Katapult Pro, so you control both engineering standards and deliverable quality. No more leaving the platform to analyze poles. No more wondering if contractors used your specifications. When everyone works within your defined environment, rework drops and throughput increases.

Complete Attachment Record Management
Track every attachment on every pole throughout its lifecycle, from application through construction and ongoing maintenance. Link attachment records directly to poles in your GIS.
Know exactly what's on each pole, when it was installed, and who owns it. This isn't just record-keeping, it's the foundation for accurate billing, liability protection, and infrastructure planning.
Integrated Pole Loading Analysis
Automated NESC compliance checks flag violations instantly, catching safety problems before approval, not during construction.
You eliminate costly rework and the anxiety of surprise violations. Every attachment meets safety standards, and you have the documentation to prove it.

Mobile Data Collection That Feeds Workflow
Validate and document conditions from the field to deliver location-based data on double wood. Use that data to update records and initiate next steps for resolution.
Configurable Approval Workflows
Build workflows that match your utility's exact process, from initial application through engineering review, make-ready coordination, final approval, and construction tracking.
Automated routing ensures applications move to the right person at the right time, with clear accountability at every step. You define the environment and standards that everyone works within.

Auto QC
Real-Time Timeline Tracking
Set automated quality control checks so you can have confidence in the quality of your data. Make sure all location statuses have been updated, and field documentation includes photos for reliable, reusable records.
Contractor and Attacher Management
Control who works in your territory with robust company onboarding and permission systems. Ensure legal agreements are in place before work begins.
Grant and revoke access as needed. When attachers have clear standards and contractors have accountability tools, applications arrive complete and compliant, reducing your review burden.

Transparent Communication for Attachers
Attachers see exactly where their applications stand in real-time. Automated status updates happen when applications move between phases. This eliminates the constant status calls that interrupt your team's work.
When attachers have the visibility they need for their own planning and compliance requirements, your relationships improve and deployments accelerate.

Engineering Standards Control
Create and enforce your utility's pole specifications, clearance requirements, and loading standards directly in the platform. Contractors must work within your parameters, no more receiving deliverables that don't match your standards.
The Model Editor lets you configure specifications without calling developers. You shape how work gets done before it reaches your desk.
Built by OSP Engineers Who've Managed Joint Use Programs
30+ Years of Outside Plant Engineering Experience Built In
We've spent three decades designing pole attachments and managing joint use, not just building software. This means Katapult Pro fits actual utility workflows instead of forcing you to adapt to generic project management tools. The platform speaks your language because we've done your job.
Data Collection Through Engineering to Record-Keeping
We integrate the entire lifecycle: field crews collect data that populates applications, engineers analyze in the same platform, and final attachment records feed back to your systems of record. Your application isn't just a workflow ticket, it's the engineering deliverable and the infrastructure record.
Utility Control, Not Vendor
Lock-In
We built this platform to give utilities transparency and control over their programs. You decide who works in your territory. You set the engineering standards. Your contractors work in a space you control. Unlike systems where contractors become gatekeepers, Katapult Pro ensures the utility owns the program, and the data.
Configurability Without Custom Development
Most platforms offer rigid "best practice" workflows. We believe every utility's program is unique and give you tools to configure workflows, standards, and processes without needing developers. As your program matures, you adapt the platform yourself.
Proven Integration with Your Existing Systems
We connect with the tools you already use: Esri ArcGIS for GIS data, SPIDAcalc for pole loading analysis, your asset management systems, and work management platforms. Years of utility implementations means we've solved the integration challenges, you're not betting on promises.
Built for Scale: From Single Utility to Regional Operations
Katapult Pro's architecture supports everything from a single utility managing their own program to engineering firms operating joint use services across multiple utility clients. The same platform that handles your volume can scale as your needs grow.
Transparent Pricing That Scales With Your Program
We build a plan that matches your specific situation instead of forcing you into one-size-fits-all tiers.
Calculate Your Joint Use Efficiency Savings
At 4 hours per application, a utility processing 500 applications spends $130,000 annually just moving paperwork. Cut that to 1 hour per application and you're looking at $97,500 back—or 1,500 hours freed for actual engineering work. Your finance committee will get this number immediately.
