Spreadsheets vs MapItRight: relational plant, published pricing
Spreadsheets list assets. MapItRight models how they connect — mapping, design, field, and reporting from $99.99/month.
Full fiber workflow on one map
MapItRight bundles mapping, design, inventory, field access, and exports — with published pricing at /pricing.
Relational fiber inventory
Strands connect to splices, closures, and drops — topology you cannot represent reliably across multiple spreadsheet tabs.
Spatial context on Google Maps
See routes, plant, and service areas on a map — not disconnected tables that drift out of sync.
Manual fiber design
Draw routes, splices, splitters, patch panels, and MUX/DEMUX on the map. Planned state keeps future design separate from Active inventory.
Construction Staking Sheets
Generate per-route construction packets from project data. Included from ISP Essentials and up.
GIS Overlays
Import KMZ, KML, or GeoJSON reference layers for parcels, boundaries, and planning context while you design.
Mobile browser field access
Crews view the project map, attach photos and video, drop marker flags, and update plant from phones or tablets — no separate native app.
Reporting & exports
BOM and splice reports to PDF or XLSX. Export project data to GeoJSON or KML for backup, compliance, or downstream systems.
Import & migration
Import KMZ, KML, GeoJSON, and VETRO FiberMap exports today. ArcGIS geodatabase, Shapefile, DXF, and GeoPackage are on the roadmap.
Spreadsheets are where most fiber operators start — and where relational plant data eventually breaks down. MapItRight replaces spreadsheet inventory with a structured fiber GIS: strand-level records, spatial context on Google Maps, field updates, and exports — starting at $99.99/month with published pricing.

First network off spreadsheets
Active builds + Staking Sheets
For multi-project ISPs, BEAD-funded operators, and engineering firms.
No platform fee — but engineering time spent on reconciliation, errors, and manual reporting adds up.

Use this checklist with Excel & Spreadsheets and MapItRight — then compare answers side-by-side.
| What operators need | Ask any vendor | Included in MapItRight |
|---|---|---|
| Why spreadsheets break | ||
| Trace a signal path | Can you trace OLT to premises without manual lookup? | Light-path tracing on connected plant records |
| Multi-user updates | How do you prevent conflicting edits and version drift? | Single project map with structured records |
| Pricing & access | ||
| Know baseline cost before sales | Is pricing published? What is included in the base tier? | Yes — four tiers at /pricing from $99.99/mo |
| Modular spend | Can you add or remove modules without re-platforming? | GIS Overlays and Sales Module as add-ons or included on Pro+ |
| Network model | ||
| Strand-level inventory | Show closure trays, splices, and end-to-end traces in a live demo | Telecom-native model — strands, splices, splitters, drops |
| Project organization | Can planned design stay separate from live inventory? | Planned and Active lifecycle per project |
| Field & exports | ||
| Field updates on the map | How do crews attach photos and update plant from the field? | Mobile browser access with photos, flags, and plant edits |
| Construction & compliance outputs | What BOM, splice, and project export formats are supported? | BOM PDF/XLSX, splice reports, GeoJSON, KML |

Who MapItRight is built for
- Operators outgrowing Excel for inventory past ~500 locations or ~100 route miles
- Teams losing tribal knowledge when senior engineers leave
- BEAD-funded builds that need per-location records and exportable project data
Common questions
often around 500 active locations or 100 route miles. MapItRight Lite starts at $99.99/month.
