The Real Cost of "Good Enough" Project Tracking

Last week, a fiber contractor spent 3 days chasing down photos from subcontractors just to close out one project. Three days of PM time, delayed invoicing, and a frustrated customer.

If you're building fiber, you've been there.

The Problem Nobody Talks About

Everyone obsesses over trenching speed and splice rates. But the real margin killer? The mess between "work completed" and "invoice approved."

Coffee-stained paper logs. Photos scattered across phone cameras. Subcontractors who swear they hit footage but can't prove where. As-builts that require a PhD in archaeology to piece together.

Your crews crushed their numbers. Your customer owes you money. But connecting those dots? That's where projects go sideways.

From Chaos to Control

OciusX fixes this by making documentation automatic.

When crews report progress, every update gets geo-tagged, time-stamped, and tied to the exact work location. Every foot of fiber gets verified with photos and measurements. Every material used feeds directly into cost tracking.

The result? Project managers see real progress, not best guesses. Billing happens faster because the proof already exists. Customers approve invoices quicker because disputes disappear.

Built for How Crews Actually Work

Most software dies in the field because it adds work. OciusX works because it makes crews' lives easier.

Instead of filling out forms that disappear, they snap photos that instantly document progress. Instead of calling updates to the office, they check in with location tracking. Instead of hunting for paperwork, everything lives in one place.

Field teams don't just tolerate OciusX. They prefer it.

The Complete Picture

OciusX handles the full spectrum of fiber deployment:

• Real-time visibility: Every field update gets mapped and timestamped automatically.

• Bulletproof documentation: Photos, measurements, and timestamps create undeniable proof of work.

• Streamlined invoicing: Field logs automatically become billable quantities. Closeout packages generate themselves.

• Subcontractor management: Assign work areas, limit invoicing to approved tasks, track performance.

• Quality control: Configure inspection requirements, digitize QC sheets, ensure work meets standards before billing.

What's New This Month

• PDF Design Support: Upload plans directly without conversion.

• Marker Navigation: One tap gets crews turn-by-turn directions to any work location.

• Permit Visualization: Draw permit areas and instantly calculate affected connections.

• Built-in Training: Help documentation now lives inside the interface.

• Enhanced Task Management: Automatic email notifications and clearer visual indicators.

• Billing Integration: Manage payment methods, view invoice history, track outstanding balances.
