FiberField adds digital markups and billing tools for fiber contractors

FiberField is rolling out software for fiber optic and underground utility contractors that replaces paper redlines and manual billing workflows with connected digital documentation. The platform links field markups, photos, installed quantities and as-builts with QuickBooks and API integrations.

Why it matters: - Fiber contractors often still rely on paper prints, spreadsheets and manual handoffs between the field and office. - FiberField aims to cut repetitive data entry and speed up billing, inspections and as-built documentation. - The platform is built for fiber optic and underground utility contractors, not general-purpose construction teams.

What happened: - FiberField introduced a construction documentation and billing platform for fiber optic and underground utility contractors. - The software lets field crews markup construction prints from smartphones or tablets, record installed quantities, attach photos and document completed work. - Project managers can review field progress and use the same data for billing documents, inspections and as-builts. - The company said the platform is designed to replace paper redlines, Excel spreadsheets and manual documentation with connected digital workflows.

The details: - Contractors can upload PDF construction prints and let crews draw lines, place markers, attach jobsite photos, record installed footage and associate completed quantities with billing codes. - FiberField supports digital PDF redlines, daily progress tracking, field photos, installed quantities, inspections, construction billing, as-builts and centralized project documentation. - FiberField integrates with QuickBooks to connect construction billing workflows with accounting operations. - The platform also provides API access for custom integrations with ERP platforms, internal dashboards, reporting tools and business intelligence applications. - FiberField is designed to fit into existing technology stacks rather than replace them. - Morello Construction uses FiberField to digitize field documentation across multi-state projects, including one in Montana with more than 20 OLTs and hundreds of thousands of feet of underground deployment. - Anthony Morello said FiberField has streamlined the flow of information from the field to the office in real time. - 5A Communications uses FiberField for construction documentation across multiple states from a Kentucky office. - Lisa Laney said crews can markup prints at the end of the day and feed everything into one central location in FiberField. - Laney also said the software is easy to use.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a broader move by specialty contractors away from disconnected tools and toward software built around field documentation. - FiberField’s focus on FTTH and underground utility work suggests the company is targeting a niche with complex billing and documentation needs. - The QuickBooks and API connections signal a product strategy built around interoperability, which can reduce friction for contractors with existing systems.

What's next: - FiberField is positioning the platform as part of contractors’ daily operations for billing, inspections and as-built workflows. - The company’s API access leaves room for custom integrations with internal and third-party business systems. - Contractors adopting the platform may expand use from field markups into broader project documentation and reporting workflows.

The bottom line: - FiberField is betting that fiber contractors will pay for software that ties field work, billing and documentation together in one system.
