D8ACapture: The Fastest Way to Capture Utility Pole Data with No Special Equipment Required

CHARLOTTE, N.C. May 21, 2025 – Field teams in telecom and utilities face mounting pressure to do more with less—outdated data collection methods slow them down and drive up costs. To address these bottlenecks, D8Acapture provides a mobile-first approach that empowers teams to capture, analyze, and manage pole data with unprecedented speed, accuracy, and affordability.

The app’s simple interface and powerful features enable users to:

Save Time

• Accelerate Data Collection: Capture precise location information using GPS and Google Satellite View, high-resolution photos, and customizable pole attributes directly in the field with minimal training.
• Optimize Workflows: Integrate D8Acapture with existing systems via API to automate data transfer and eliminate data silos.
• Work Flexibly: Continue working and capturing data even with offline functionality, eliminating downtime in areas with limited connectivity.

Reduce Costs

• Achieve Cost Savings: Significantly reduce expenses associated with manual data entry and return trips.
• Single Technician Operation: Reduce labor costs by enabling one person to perform tasks that previously required two-person crews.

Boost Accuracy

• Enhance Data Accuracy: Ensure data integrity with standardized forms, real-time validation, and GPS-enabled location recording, minimizing errors and improving data reliability.
• Capture Comprehensive Visual Records: Capture an unlimited number of photos of utility poles and their surroundings directly within the app, providing detailed documentation for analysis and reporting.
• High Measurement Accuracy: Obtain precise measurements with AR-Powered Height Measurement (Augmented Reality Virtual Height Stick).

Improve Collaboration

• Real-Time Syncing: Access and share up-to-date pole information instantly across teams for faster decision-making.
• Advanced GIS Mapping and Project Visibility: Enhance project oversight with advanced GIS mapping tools.

Secure Data Management

• D8Acapture employs strong encryption protocols for the secure storage of photos and collected data, helping you meet industry compliance standards for data protection.

Proven Impact

D8Acapture’s robust capabilities have been rigorously tested by a leading cable provider in an extensive proof-of- concept project involving over 8,000 utility poles, further validating its ease of use and efficiency in real-world deployments.
