Speqtiv gives electrical utilities a digital pole audit system that produces a defensible, timestamped record of every field audit — GPS-stamped, photo-documented, and aligned with NESC inspection categories. The app works fully offline in the field.
Pole audit software is a structured, digital system for documenting the condition of distribution poles — producing a compliant, time-stamped audit record that satisfies engineering, insurance, and regulatory requirements.
Where a general inspection might be informal, a pole audit creates a chain of evidence: who audited each pole, when, what condition was found, what photos were taken, and what actions were taken as a result. Speqtiv is built to produce that record automatically, from the field, using a smartphone app.
Inspection Detail — complete audit record with GPS location, photo evidence, and inspection type
Structured checklist in the field
Every pole audit is timestamped, GPS-stamped, and user-attributed. Produce a complete, defensible audit trail for compliance reporting, insurance documentation, and capital planning reviews.
Audit checklists align with NESC and common utility inspection standards. Document visual, sounding, resistograph, ground rod, and guy wire assessments in the format regulators and engineers expect.
Attach photos directly to each audit finding. Build a permanent photographic record of every pole's condition across successive audit cycles — searchable and exportable.
Each audit record is stamped with GPS coordinates to sub-5 meter accuracy. Know exactly which pole was audited, by whom, and exactly where it is — with no manual data entry.
Pole audits happen in areas with no cell signal. Speqtiv works completely offline — the app stores all audit data locally and syncs automatically when the crew returns to coverage.
Field crews assign a condition rating at each audit. Caution and Fail poles surface immediately in the management dashboard and can generate service tickets with one tap.
Track last audit date and next audit year per pole. Identify overdue poles, prioritize audit routes by condition and schedule, and prove audit frequency to regulators on demand.
Export audit records for capital planning, regulatory submissions, or integration with existing utility systems. Filter by condition rating, date range, pole type, or geographic area.
Regulators, engineers, and insurers don't just want to know that poles were inspected — they want to know who audited each pole, when, what was found, and what happened next. Speqtiv produces that record automatically.
Inspector Identity & TimestampEvery audit is attributed to a specific named user with an exact date and time — no ambiguity about who completed the audit.
GPS Location of Each PoleCoordinates are captured automatically at audit time. No manual data entry means no transcription errors in pole location records.
Structured Condition AssessmentVisual, sounding, resistograph, ground rod, and guy inspection results — each in a discrete, structured field rather than a free-text note.
Photographic EvidencePhotos attached at audit time, stored permanently against the pole record. Visual proof of condition at each audit cycle.
Follow-On Action TrackingFlagged poles generate service tickets that are tracked to resolution. Close the loop between audit finding and corrective action.
Audit Frequency HistoryEvery pole carries its full audit history — previous condition ratings, previous inspectors, previous photos — available at the next audit without hunting through paper files.

TRY LIVE DEMO → REQUEST A DEMOPole audit software is a digital platform that replaces paper-based utility pole audit programs. It gives field crews a structured mobile app to document pole conditions, capture photos, log GPS location, and rate each pole Pass, Caution, or Fail — creating a timestamped audit trail that satisfies compliance and regulatory requirements.
In practice the terms are often used interchangeably, but a pole audit typically implies a more formal, compliance-oriented review — producing a defensible record for regulatory purposes, insurance, or capital planning. A pole inspection may refer to a routine field check. Speqtiv supports both workflows with the same structured mobile app and audit trail system.
Yes. Speqtiv is designed for distribution pole fleets — the wooden poles on distribution lines that make up the bulk of a utility's asset base. These are the poles commonly called telephone poles, and Speqtiv's audit checklists cover the inspection categories relevant to wood distribution poles: visual, sounding, resistograph, ground rod, crossarm, guy wire, and hardware condition.
Speqtiv's audit checklists align with NESC (National Electrical Safety Code) inspection program requirements. Categories include the structured assessment types — visual, sounding, resistograph, ground, and guy — that NESC-compliant audit programs require. Checklists are configurable to match your utility's specific standards.
Yes. Speqtiv tracks the last audit date and next audit year for every pole. The dashboard surfaces overdue poles and lets managers prioritize audit routes by condition and schedule — functioning as a complete pole audit scheduling and tracking system for fleets of thousands of poles.
