Telecom project managers must ensure that each project step is completed and documented accurately. Recording the status of each site can be difficult, especially because it involves a multitude of documents, pictures, and permits that are tough to keep track of. The high volume of projects also means that more stakeholders are involved. Everyone from the c-suite to an on-site contractor plays an important part in growing and maintaining a network and they all need to be on the same page.

The fast-paced nature of telecom demands innovation and requires standardization. The world is becoming connected faster than ever due to advancements in technology, including the increasing importance of 5G projects. From hundreds of thousands of small cell deployments to maintenance of existing sites, the volume of telecom projects is growing exponentially.

With so many people working on a site, it is easy for someone to forget to document one piece of a new build, an installation, or routine maintenance, causing a trickle-down effect and slowing down the productivity of the team. The telecom industry relies upon on millions of sites and assets, ranging from massive monopoles to camouflaged small cells that are nearly impossible to find. Plotting where all the sites are and easily being able to locate them is difficult to do and time-consuming.
