Turn Data Points into Decision Making with Map Dashboards

If we want to visualize our data, we have to get it out of spreadsheets and paper documentation. Spreadsheets are too static, and with so many projects, so many poles, and so many moving pieces, paper documentation makes it nearly impossible to visualize project statuses and identify next steps. That disconnect is costly.
But we’ve noticed this issue within Katapult Pro as well. When we have hundreds or thousands of assets and poles within Katapult Pro, we need some way to filter out which ones need our attention.
From collecting field data for pole applications, resolving doublewood, and checking unauthorized assessments, the ability to summarize and visualize data helps teams mobilize and take action within a project.
Custom Dashboards in Katapult Pro
With Map Dashboards in Katapult Pro, you can create custom summaries and maps of work and assets within your footprint to address specific issues without wasting time or increasing truck rolls.
It’s hard to align teams and determine next steps when teams have to sort through thousands of detailed data points or keep track of hundreds of projects. Map Dashboards improve efficiency and communication between teams by providing summarized data of work before sending out field teams or construction crews.
With custom logic, you determine what nodes or jobs you want to see based on node and job attributes. Your unique dashboard auto-generates maps with summarized data based on work, projects in progress, node status, location, and more.
Now, you can determine the view that would best serve you using the data that provides the right amount of insight to help you accomplish your goals.
Choose what assets to see when for better insights
Represent and visualize the data you need based on your project or program goals. You choose the depth of the data and the logic used to display that data.
Instead of looking at the locations of 6,000 poles across 25 jobs, you can view the location of each job. Then, use custom logic to determine take-off points and to create efficient, intelligent deployment maps.
Get intel on your pole inspection process by assessing how many poles within a sample failed pole loading analysis and where C-trusses, fiber wraps, or pole replacements are necessary within a location. Then, track the status of engineering and construction work as your teams and subs resolve those issues.

Create deployment maps for faster construction
Extra truck rolls cost time and money. When you can create deployment maps with specific locations for teams to visit, it cuts calendar days and reduces unnecessary expenses.
For example, you can use map dashboards to highlight areas in need of double wood remediation, with nodes and icons for locations with suspected and confirmed double wood conditions. Download generated maps to send out construction crews to the exact locations, making sure every truck roll is necessary.


By summarizing the data, you can remove noise and distractions to help your team focus their attention on the right problems and build the right solutions. When you can see your data clearly, you can take next steps with confidence.
Create intuitive summaries and representations of your data for faster, more informed project pipelines. Learn more about our project management tools and get started with Katapult Pro today!
