Fibkit.com - Simple Fiber Network Management App

  Still using Excel and QGIS to manage your fiber network? You’re not alone. Many small and mid-sized ISPs rely on a combination of Excel and QGIS (or Google Earth) to keep track of their fiber network. Excel holds the splice details. QGIS shows the cable paths on the map. This setup might work when your network is small — but it quickly becomes a bottleneck as your infrastructure grows. What’s the real problem? Excel and QGIS don’t speak the same language. Excel has no understanding of how fibers connect, and QGIS can’t help you track fiber usage, splices, or availability. You end up managing two completely separate sources of truth. And that creates major issues: You can't trace a fiber route from A to B without checking multiple files   Updates in the field require manual changes across systems   Errors in documentation lead to planning conflicts and wasted time   Teams struggle to collaborate on the same infrastructure data What your fiber documen...

Over the last few years, I’ve been trying to build something that truly matters. My goal?   To create a simple and affordable IT tool for the single most critical — and often most frustrating — part of fiber optic networks: fiber splice documentation. Sure, you can draw a network map in Google Earth or QGIS.   But try documenting real fiber connections across hundreds or thousands of fibers — that’s where things break down fast. Without IT support, it becomes unmanageable. Where did the idea come from? Since 2014, I’ve worked with fiber operators. I’ve seen teams struggle with: - hours lost to Excel spreadsheets and diagrams in Visio or AutoCAD,   - no clear overview of which fibers are used or free,   - no way to trace a fiber route end-to-end,   - and splice documentation treated as an afterthought — if done at all. So I asked myself: Does it really have to be this complicated? Fibkit – The Product of a Focused IT Project Fibkit is the resu...
