Are your tools ready for the BEAD surge?

BEAD funding, state broadband grants, and accelerating fiber buildout have created a surge of pole attachment applications that legacy spreadsheet-and-email processes were never designed to handle. FCC shot clock deadlines have compressed the timeline. Staffing hasn't kept pace. The pressure is real.

Application volume increase for many utilities

See Every Application at a Glance. No Digging Required.

Stop reconstructing status from email threads, spreadsheets, and phone calls. Katapult Pro gives you a single view of every active application, what stage it's in, who's responsible for the next step, and what's overdue.

For Joint Use Teams

When your director asks where things stand, you have real numbers, not a guess.

For Co-ops & Small Utilities

When the fiber company's PM calls, you don't have to say 'let me get back to you.'

Track Every Application

Every application is organized in a single shared workflow.

No more tool switching

No More Status Hunts

Every Step Documented

No approvals or decisions happen outside the workflow.

Reviews Built In

Required engineering reviews happen before work advances.

Consistent Every Time

The same documented process across.

A Documented Process That Runs the Same Way Every Time

Many utilities have never had enough volume for a formalized attachment workflow. Katapult Pro enforces consistent steps for every application: nothing advances without the required reviews, nothing gets approved without proper engineering analysis, and every decision is documented.

For Joint Use Teams

NESC compliance and FCC shot clock tracking happen automatically, not manually.

For Co-ops & Small Utilities

You don't need a department to administer a winning process.

Every Approval Backed by Verified Engineering Data

Approving attachments on outdated or incomplete pole data creates structural risk and professional liability. Katapult Pro integrates pole loading analysis and connects to the tools your engineering vendors already use, so every approval is backed by current data.

For Joint Use Teams

Stop being forced to choose between speed and safety. Get both.

For Co-ops & Small Utilities

Approve attachments knowing the engineering is sound.

Trusted Engineering

Current data for every approval.

Reduce Risk

Every decision is supported.

Vendor Integrated

Connects with trusted tools.

Real-Time Status

Check progress anytime.

Self-Service Portal

No calls or email updates.

Transparent Process

Everyone stays informed.

Let Attachers Check Their Own Status Instead of Calling You

Every status inquiry from a fiber company, cable provider, or ISP interrupts actual work. Configurable status portals let attachers see their application progress without picking up the phone, turning your utility from a perceived bottleneck into a transparent partner.

For Joint Use Teams

Transform your utility's reputation from bottleneck to strategic infrastructure partner.

For Co-ops & Small Utilities

That 20-minute phone call disappears, or becomes a 2-minute email with a portal link.

Show Leadership Exactly Where Things Stand

Track applications processed, average turnaround time, rental revenue collected, and compliance metrics. This is the difference between 'I think we're doing okay' and 'here are the numbers.'

For Joint Use Teams

Prove your department's strategic value with data, not anecdotes.

For Co-ops & Small Utilities

When the board asks how things are going, you have a real answer.

Track Key Metrics

Applications, turnaround, and revenue.

Data You Can Trust

Real numbers. Real progress.

Dedicated Joint Use Teams

For IOUs Managing 1,000s of Pole Attachment Requests With Regulatory Pressure Mounting

Your utility is investing in digital transformation everywhere except joint use. Katapult Pro closes that gap. Automate FCC shot clock compliance, give your team real-time visibility into every application, integrate pole loading data from your existing engineering tools, and give your director the metrics that prove your department's strategic value.

The core challenge: You're being forced to choose between speed and safety, managing application volume with tools that create the very compliance risk you're paid to prevent.

Co-ops & Small Utilities

For the One Person Managing Attachments on Top of Everything Else

You don't need a dedicated joint use department to manage attachments like a utility ten times your size. Katapult Pro is built so one person can run a professional, defensible process with right-sized pricing, hands-on training, and a pilot-first approach that fits your co-op's budget and board approval process.

The core challenge: Application volume and attacher sophistication have outpaced what any one person can manage with inherited spreadsheets and institutional memory.

MAP

Map Your Current Process

We sit down with the people who actually do this work and map how attachments currently flow through your utility. Where does data live? What falls through the cracks? You walk away with a clear picture of what changes and what stays the same.

WORKFLOW

Prove It With Real Work

We start with your current batch of applications or one attacher relationship. Real applications, real workflows, real results, with our engineering team alongside you the entire time.

WORKFLOW

Build the Process You've Needed

Once you're confident, we help formalize the workflow your utility has needed: documented steps, consistent standards, automated tracking, and a system that works whether you're processing five applications or five hundred.

"Katapult has been a game changer for managing our high-volume pole attachment requests. It has streamlined our process, allows customers to stay informed in real time, and enables our team to design and respond efficiently, all within one portal."
