Route segments, cable drums, splice sheets and test traces in one build record.
Manage tenders, route surveys, permits, segments, cable drums, closures, splice sheets, test traces, customer drops, crews and milestone invoices in one system. Each route segment carries its length, its method, its permit, its drum and its measured result from survey to handover pack. Installers close drop jobs on a phone, and the office stops rebuilding the record at night.
- Route methods, permit types and drop job forms entered the way your crews work
- Open routes, drum stock and subcontractor balances migrated
- Changes to forms, rates and pack layouts made by GullySystem staff when asked
Fibre installation companies keep route surveys, permits, segments, cable drums, splice records, test traces and customer drops inside Fibre Installation Company Management Software from GullySystem. Each segment holds its length, method, crew, drum numbers and results. Installers close drop jobs on a phone, and the handover pack builds from what was recorded.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Tender and survey
A build is quoted by segment from survey notes and cable rates. Once awarded, the route is surveyed and split into segments with a method and a permit list.
- 2
Permits and mobilisation
Road, pole and building permissions are applied for and tracked with dates. Crews, drums and ducts are allotted to the first segments that are cleared.
- 3
Civil and cable work
Trenching, duct laying, blowing or aerial lashing is recorded per segment with metres done, depth, photographs and the drum used.
- 4
Splicing
Standing at the closure, the splicer enters each fused core on a phone, with its cabinet, tray slot and colour recorded as the joint is made. The sheet fills itself.
- 5
Testing and handover pack
Light loss and OTDR traces are attached to each span. The handover pack lists spans, results, as-built photographs and permit closure documents for the client.
- 6
Drops, measurement and billing
Customer drops are closed with ONT serial and power reading. Measured segments and drops become subcontractor pay and a milestone invoice for the client.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Estimate/Quotation Management
A tender is priced by segment and method from duct, cable, labour and permit costs, with each revision to the network owner kept.
- Work Order Management
Each segment becomes a work order with metres done, depth, photographs and the drum used, written while the crew is still on site.
- Project Document Management
Road, pole and building permissions are stored with their dates and conditions, and a segment closes only once reinstatement photographs are filed.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Drums are issued with start marks and returned with end marks, so the remaining length and offcuts are known before the next purchase.
- Quality Control
Each span carries its OTDR trace and light-loss reading, and a span without one is flagged before the handover pack is built.
- Job Cards
A job card per home records drop length, ONT serial, power at the socket and a signature, closed by the installer on a phone.
- Technician Scheduling
Splice, civil and drop crews are placed on segments by day, with leave and permit waits visible on the same board.
- Invoice Management
A milestone or completed-drop invoice goes to the network owner with the measurement sheet and test pack attached behind it.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners and directors
Read segments finished, spans awaiting traces, subcontractor liabilities and receivables per client without phoning a foreman.
For project managers
Plan segments, watch permit dates and see which route holds up a milestone invoice.
For splicers and test technicians
Record joints and light-loss readings per closure and span, and attach traces from the instrument.
For drop installers
Open the day’s drop list, scan ONT serials, record power readings and collect a signature.
For store and accounts staff
Issue and receive drums, post subcontractor pay, and raise milestone invoices from measured work.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Segments by status, method and crew
- Drum balance by number, with offcuts returned
- Spans without a trace or with a failed reading
- Permits expiring in the next fortnight, by authority
- Drops closed, failed and repeated, by installer
- Subcontractor metres and pay by route
- Milestone invoices raised and received by client
Who this is built for.
- Contractors that build trunk and feeder fibre routes for network owners
- Installers that run customer drops for broadband providers
- Companies that blow micro-duct or lash aerial fibre on poles
- Firms that splice and test fibre as a subcontractor to larger builders
- Companies fitting in-building fibre in offices, estates and apartment blocks
When it is not the right choice.
- A sole splicer taking on just a few small jobs each month is likely to manage with a phone camera and a folder of photographs.
- A company whose main trade is selling broadband plans and billing subscribers every month is better served by Internet Service Provider Management Software, which is built for that.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Does it handle both trunk routes and single home drops?
Yes. A trunk route runs as segments with drums, closures and splice sheets. A single home drop runs as one small job card holding the drop length, the ONT serial and the socket power figure.
Where do OTDR traces go?
A trace file and its light-loss reading attach to the span they measured. Spans still missing a trace appear on a list before the handover date.
Can a segment stay open until reinstatement is photographed?
Yes. A segment cannot be closed while its reinstatement photographs are missing, so the authority’s inspector finds a complete file. The close button stays locked.
How are cable drums tracked?
Each drum carries a number and start and end marks. Metres pulled are posted per segment, and the part-used drum returns with its balance rather than a guess.
Can subcontractors use it?
A crew lead gets a phone login limited to the segments and drops allotted to that crew. Their measured work feeds pay but they do not see other crews.
Does it replace our design drawings?
No. Route drawings stay in your mapping or CAD tool. Segments here carry names, lengths, coordinates and photographs. They link to those drawings.
How do we move running routes across?
Each open route arrives from your spreadsheets with its remaining cable drum lengths, splice closures and milestones awaiting payment. Your project managers check each open route before go-live.
What happens when a permit is about to lapse?
Each permit has its date and conditions. A list of permits expiring soon sits on the project manager’s screen with the segments they cover.
Is pricing based on crews or jobs, and can we see a demonstration?
Crew count and the outside tools you want connected set the size of the quotation. We show a working demo using one of your own routes, then send a written proposal.
Who owns the records?
You do. Segment sheets, splice records, traces and photographs can leave the system in an agreed layout spelled out in the quotation, so a later client audit stays in your hands.
