End the Bad-Cable Blame With Cable Management Software
Clients blame the cabling years later, and you pull techs off new work to prove them wrong. Procured keeps test photos and labels on every job.

What Each Problem Costs a Low-Voltage Shop
Biggest loss first: the old job that comes back years later.
Proof It Wasn't the Cabling, Years Later
Five years on, a client says the slow network is your cable. Open the job and show the pass summary and labeled patch panel photos. They prove it tested clean the day you left.
- Photo the tester's pass summary → results sit on the job
- Shoot each labeled patch panel → the label scheme is on record
- Photo ceiling runs before tiles go back → J-hook support is proven
- Note plenum or riser cable used → the spec question has an answer
- Get the office manager's signature → acceptance is on file
- File it under the building's client → not on one tech's phone
Added Drops Signed Before You Pull Them
The GC (general contractor) adds 12 drops after framing and says to start today. Quote them on their own with a photo of each spot. Pull once the site lead accepts, so the extra work has a written yes.
- Quote added drops apart from the base contract → nothing gets buried
- See when the GC's project manager opens it → follow up that afternoon
- Send a reminder on an unanswered quote → no free drops
- Turn the accepted quote into a job → added drops get scheduled
- Set the job On Hold till ceilings close → the delay is logged
- Invoice added drops separately → the GC approves a short bill faster
Per-Drop Bids Where Testing Isn't Free
A 40-drop office buildout needs Cat6A, a fiber backbone, 2 patch panels and a rack. Price each from saved items. Certification testing shows as its own line, so nobody assumes it's thrown in.
- Save your standard Cat6 drop price → count times rate fills the line
- Add fiber terminations per strand → the backbone shows line by line
- Quote Cat6 and Cat6A as 2 options → the client picks the spec
- Reuse an office-floor template → the next bid starts filled in
- Attach a marked-up floor plan photo → drop locations aren't argued
- Take a deposit on racks and switches → no gear on your card
Move, Add and Change Calls Without Surprises
A new hire at your best account needs a jack by Monday. The request comes in through your client portal. The tech checks last year's photos first and knows which panel has open ports.
- Collect jack requests in your client portal → no lost voicemails
- Turn the request into a job → a tech owns it right away
- Open the building's past jobs → know what's in the wall before driving
- Bill time and materials on small calls → every hour gets charged
- Set a weekly campus visit → a tech shows up every Tuesday
- Decline out-of-area requests by voice → confirm with one tap
Multi-Site Weeks Without Double-Booked Techs
One crew is roughing in a school wing while another handles an office move across town. When drywall slips, drag the rough-in back. Both crews see the change on their phones.
- Book a 3-week buildout as a multi-day job → those weeks stay held
- Filter the calendar by tech → see who's free for a dead-jack call
- Drag rough-in back when framers run late → techs get notified
- Plan summer school work in month view → June doesn't sneak up
- Assign your RCDD (cabling designer) to the walk → the right person shows
- Clock techs in at the site → labor per job is clear
Paid by Offices, Schools and GCs
An office manager pays when you finish, but a GC pays in 45 days. Send each invoice from the completed job. Then watch one list of what's still open.
- Invoice a finished jack from your phone → billed before the next call
- Let a school pay the 40-drop bill by bank transfer → lower fees
- Record the GC's check when it arrives → the open list shrinks
- Take a card for a one-jack fix → paid before you leave
- Attach the pass summary photo to the invoice → proof rides along
- Sync with your accounting app → no retyping invoices at month end

The Fine Print for a Small Low-Voltage Shop
Short terms for a small shop: what it costs and who helps.
Which Cabling Contractors It Fits
Small low-voltage shops that pull cable inside offices and schools get the most from Procured. Network owners who map their own ports need a different tool.
| Procured Is For | Procured Is Not For |
|---|---|
| You run 2-4 techs pulling Cat6 for offices and schools | You need port-by-port patch panel maps for a data center |
| You price most work per drop | You do takeoffs from plans with a material cost database |
| You sub to GCs and electricians on new builds | You bill GCs line by line against a schedule of values |
| Old clients call you first when the network slows down | You need full tester files stored and warranties registered |
| A few office accounts call you every month | You need certified payroll for prevailing wage jobs |
| You run camera and Wi-Fi cable for integrators | You want CAD (computer-drawn) as-builts made inside the app |
| Your test photos sit on 5 different phones | You run 50+ techs across several regions |
What Is Cable Management Software?
Cable management software for contractors is the app a cabling crew uses to quote, schedule, document and bill installs. Data center teams use the same name for tools that map their own ports. Procured is for the low-voltage contractor who pulls the cable. It tracks each drop from the quote to the payment.
