How this is different
Others record the work.This one writes the cut sheet.
There are trackers, photo apps and spreadsheet templates for fiber splicing. None of them start from a photograph of the whiteboard the crew already fills out.
| Feature | FiberBoard | Splice tracker apps | Photo-proof apps | Digital whiteboards | Excel cut sheet templates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reads a photo of the physical whiteboardSnap the board you already draw on — no re-typing at the truck. | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Uses your own whiteboard layoutINPUT first, splice mark, OUTPUT second — the way crews already write it. | Yes | No | No | Partly | No |
| Fills a formatted cut sheet workbookOne workbook per PID, one tab per enclosure, print-ready. | Yes | Partly | No | No | Partly |
| Flags splices that don't chainCounts and fiber colors are checked board to board. | Yes | Partly | No | No | No |
| Print-ready PDF of every boardIndex page plus one page per enclosure. | Yes | Partly | No | Partly | Partly |
| Google Earth pins for each enclosureGPS off the board becomes a KMZ placemark. | Yes | No | Partly | No | No |
| Keeps the photo as proof, with the time it was takenThe board photo stays attached to the record. | Yes | No | Yes | No | No |
| Printable blank template for the crewPrint it, photocopy it, hand it out. | Yes | No | No | No | Partly |
| Works with no login at the poleOpen it and shoot — nothing to remember in the bucket. | Yes | No | Partly | No | Yes |
| Ports only where they apply (MST tap)Butt splice, tie point and pass through don't ask for ports. | Yes | No | No | No | No |
Check = does it, dash = partly or with extra work, cross = no.
Splice tracker / OTDR apps
Built for test results and job status. You still type every splice in by hand, and none of them read your board.
Photo-proof field apps
Stamp a photo with time and GPS and call it documentation. Good evidence, but nobody gets a cut sheet out of it.
Digital whiteboards
General drawing canvases. Nothing understands fiber counts, colors or enclosure chaining.
Excel cut sheet templates
The format everyone hands around. Correct output, entirely manual input, and no conflict checking.
The short version
Photo of the board in, formatted cut sheet workbook, print-ready PDF, Google Earth pins and conflict flags out. That whole path is what nothing else on the market does.
