Powerline Connect — Winter Storm Hernando call-out, live mobilization view

Lives in the office.

No app required for lineman. Storm calls land with rosters the same way they always have.

Hours of work. Seconds to do it.

Utility-specific roster & timesheet reports generated automatically.

Storm chaos, solved.

Built by linemen who lived it

We ran the storm camps before we built the software.

Powerline Connect was founded by Dan Waugh, a powerline technician with 14 years in the field, alongside Andy Banciu (partnerships and customer success), Katy Waugh (product), and Yousif Mansour (engineering). Every feature in the platform solves a problem the team has lived or heard directly from a customer.
