No Surprises, No Delays: How Real-Time Reporting Keeps Fiber Builds on Track

Written by Christopher Camut | Oct 6, 2025 4:08:28 PM

Anyone running fiber projects knows this: the work isn’t just about putting cable in the ground. It’s about managing the chain of workflows that come with it - permits, inspections, contractor handoffs, material tracking, as-builts, and invoicing. Each step depends on the last. Each one introduces risk. And together, they create a level of complexity that can slow even the best-run projects.

That’s where Field Squared makes the difference. We don’t pretend fiber workflows are simple. They’re not. What we do is make it easy to build those workflows within our platform, regardless of their complexity. Then, once they’re built, we make it easy for crews and managers to follow them in the field with real-time reporting that keeps everyone aligned.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

In the field: A crew can log a permit status, capture GIS-tagged photos, or record an inspection with just a few taps. Instead of juggling apps or paperwork, everything is done once, in one place.

For project managers: Every update appears instantly on their dashboard. If a crew hits a conflict, they can reroute resources immediately. If a milestone is complete, it’s reflected in real time.

At the executive level: Live, accurate reporting provides confidence that the build is progressing on schedule and within budget. Faster completions accelerate revenue recognition. Predictable data builds trust with investors and leadership.

The real breakthrough is that workflows no longer have to feel like bottlenecks. Field Squared gives you the tools to handle the complexity, but presents them in a way that’s easy to execute day to day. No surprises, no delays — just a clear path from trench to turn-up.

Fiber projects will always be complex. But with Field Squared, managing them doesn’t have to be.
