Founder story
Katapult Pro was engineered by Katapult Engineering to eliminate the highly fragmented, manual workflows traditionally slowing down the distribution utility sector. Realizing that field teams were utilizing fragmented maps, unsafe collection methodologies, and disconnected engineering calculators, they constructed a unified web platform that translates real-world field images into high-precision, defensible spatial datasets.
What it does
- Captures GPS-accurate pole locations and measurable photo data directly from ground level
- Executes built-in pole loading analysis and engineering designs inside a single ecosystem
- Flags NESC clearance violations automatically to maintain strict regulatory compliance
- Manages multi-party joint-use applications and tracks critical FCC shot clock deadlines
- Generates automated legacy downloads, web maps, and spreadsheet deliverables at the click of a button
Who it's for
- Utility Engineers
- Telecom Project Managers
- Broadband Deployment Leads
- Joint Use Coordinators
- Field Data Collectors
Why it works
- Ground-Level Safety: Field crews collect comprehensive, defensive photo data from the ground without entering the dangerous power space
- Single Source of Truth: A real-time cloud database allows internal designers, external contractors, and utilities to view identical project records simultaneously
- Automated Verification: Built-in violation detection and engineering rule engines eliminate time-consuming rework phases
- FCC Compliance Tracking: Integrated deadline countdowns help broadband installers confidently dodge regulatory penalties and administrative blockages.
Growth strategies
- Targeting major regional engineering firms and electric cooperatives expanding local fiber- to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure
- Providing high- value custom configuration services to integrate legacy engineering engines smoothly into the platform
- Attending major joint- use, utility asset management, and broadband deployment industry exhibitions
- Publishing comprehensive technical documentation and case studies highlighting multi- fold increases in project throughput
Alternatives
Comparison overview
- Provides precise photo-measurable capabilities from ground level whereas general GIS systems rely on manual measurements
- Features an integrated pole loading and make-ready workspace unlike simple asset tracking applications
- Supports real-time structural cross-team collaboration compared to desktop-bound local engineering design software
- Tracks FCC structural regulatory shot clocks natively instead of generic timeline or task trackers
