provides transparency, control and flexibility over
data collection, material specification and
analysis methods for utilities and
telecommunication professionals. SPIDA®silk is a
complimentary analysis application that provides
precise and accurate conductor sag and tension
calculations and detailed reports. SPIDA®studio is
a cloud-based platform empowering asset owners
and contractors to centrally manage and
document the physical health and condition of
their overhead system.

What’s In It For Me? Who Should I Target?

SPIDA’s structural management system

provides a solution for each stage in an Electric Utilities
organization’s process. From new design to Co-ops
making ready engineering and work Municipalities
coordination, intuitive interfaces and product LDC’s (Local Distribution Companies) (Canada)
interconnections streamline the entire process. Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs)

SPIDA®calc can be leveraged to upsell Engineering Firms / Contractors

SPIDA®studio and SPIDA®silk. All three
Telecommunication / Broadband companies
products require a separate license.

SPIDA®studio – SPIDA®studio is a cloud platform that provides central storage, reporting, and
reuse of SPIDA®calc designs. SPIDA®studio is a workflow-driven, spatially based application that
is the ideal portal to help utility, telecommunication, and engineering contractors manage
complex programs and activity at an asset.

SPIDA®silk - SPIDA®silk is our newest offering providing nonlinear conductor analysis for any sag &
tension charts and reporting needs. Unified application suitable for broadband, distribution, &
transmission segments.

Competitive Insight
What are the cons of working with the competition?
Pole Foreman-owned by IKE GPS
• Linear analysis engine and limited analysis reporting
• Only offers wood pole/crossarm material type
• Uses static horizontal tensions (does not perform tension calculations)
• Rigid templates limit user’s ability to completely model designs

O-Calc Pro
• Does not perform geometric non-linear analysis
• User interface and workflow can be a bit clunky and is less efficient

QuickPole (Canada)
• Lacks a user-friendly graphic interface
• Small presence in the utilities industry, more telecom focused
