About
We Have a Better Solution!
Network or Utilities information has historically been poorly managed, disorganized, or outright obsolete. Other demands of your time and budget take priority. Records consist of static as-built drawings, schematics, and other documents accumulated over years of development. Records are dispersed between the flat file and file cabinet or just rolled up in a box in the corner. Record maintenance and updates are rainy day projects that never happen. Other information resides entirely in the memory of your staff. This has unfortunately become an unintended industry standard. Typically these records are not duplicated or scanned and stored in multiple locations in the event of fire, hurricane, water intrusion and the like. And how will you retrieve information from employees that have retired, relocated or suffered their own personal tragedy? FiberTrak is a true asset tracking and infrastructure mapping solution built from years of experience doing design, build, implementation and maintenance for projects across the country. This award winning solution is the answer to all of your mapping, documentation and maintenance pains. This product was built by contractors, for contractors and owners alike. FiberTrak was originally developed for the communications industry but has become a valuable tool for multiple utilities and infrastructures.
