We didn't set out to build software. We set out to fix our own mess.

Every fiber contractor knows the chaos. 811 locates delayed for days while crews sit idle burning payroll. Jobs coordinated over group texts that get buried in a thread. Work orders scribbled on paper that disappears into a truck cab. Invoices piling up on the kitchen table because nobody had time to type them after a 10-hour day in the dirt.

We know because we live it. HogWired was built by a fiber installation crew in Colorado Springs — not by a software company that talked to some contractors and guessed at what they needed. Every one of our 42 features was designed in the field, tested in the field, and refined based on what actually happens when real crews use it on real fiber jobs.

What makes HogWired different is simple: we built it for fiber. Not plumbers. Not HVAC techs. Not electricians. Fiber. That means 811 locate tracking is built into every job. Billing calculates automatically from trench, bore, and pull footage. Splice records and OTDR test results have a home. As-built documents come together from the data your crew already enters. These aren't add-ons or workarounds — they're the core of the platform, because they're the core of the work.

And we priced it for real contractors, not Fortune 500 companies. HogWired starts at $70 a month — round numbers, no $69.99 games. A 20-person company pays $350 a month for the full platform — the same company would pay five figures a year for an enterprise fiber platform or thousands a month for ServiceTitan, and still not get tools built for a small fiber sub. We believe every crew deserves professional tools, not just the ones with enterprise budgets.

We still use HogWired on our own jobs every day. If it doesn't work for our crew, it doesn't ship.
