What telecoms teams use it for
Built for orders, installs and the network
Service orders, signed
Fill in the order form on screen and send it for signature. The customer signs on any device and the certificate records when they agreed. Reminders go out automatically every few days until the customer signs.
Site surveys with photos
Engineers photograph the building, the comms room and the cable route, then turn the photos into one survey report and compress it for the planning team.
Wayleaves and landowner consents
Scan paper consents you already have and send new wayleave agreements for signature, with reminders until the landowner signs. Each signed consent carries a certificate showing when the landowner agreed.
Number porting forms
Fill in the porting form and the customer’s letter of authority on screen and add the signature, so the request goes complete the first time.
Carrier bills into spreadsheets
Turn the tables in wholesale and carrier bills into Excel, so finance can reconcile them without retyping.
Network drawings and as-builts
Compare two revisions of a network drawing to see what changed, and add notes for the installer or the planning team. As-built drawings can be merged with the test results into one handover file for the customer.
Where Macaaw fits in a telecoms business
Selling, installing and running a network creates paperwork at every step: orders, surveys, landowner consents, porting forms and drawings. Much of it starts on site, on a phone. Macaaw handles those documents in the browser, without installing software on every engineer’s device. It suits altnets, business telecoms resellers and installers alike, because nothing has to be installed or integrated before the team can start.
Turning photos into PDFs, filling forms and signing your own documents run on the device. Compression and comparison run on our servers in London and the files are deleted within 2 hours.
Macaaw does not replace your order management or network inventory systems; it prepares the documents that go into them. Sales, provisioning and field teams can share one Business workspace, with roles and allowances pooled.
Playbook
A site survey in four steps
From photos on site to a report the planners can use the same day.
Take the photos
Photograph each part of the site in order: entry point, route, comms room and power.
Turn them into one PDF
Use JPG to PDF in the phone’s browser, with a page for each photo.
Add the survey form
Fill in the survey form on screen and merge it in front of the photos.
Compress and send
Compress the report to a size your systems accept and send it to the planning team. Save the steps as a workflow for the next survey.

Questions
Telecoms teams ask
Can a landowner sign a wayleave without an account?
Yes. They open the link in the email and sign on any device. You can add an access code you give them by phone.
Can engineers use it on site?
Yes. Every tool works in a phone’s browser, and turning photos into PDFs runs on the device, so the photos are not uploaded.
Can Compare PDFs show changes in a network drawing?
It marks differences in text and layout between two PDFs page by page, which shows changed labels, notes and routes in drawings exported as PDF.
How large can survey reports be?
On Business you can work with files up to 500 MB, then compress the report to the size your systems accept.
Can we send porting forms for signature?
Yes. Fill in the form, then send it for signature so the customer signs on their own device.
Can we save the survey steps for every engineer?
Yes. Save turning photos into a PDF, merging the form and compressing the report as a workflow. On Business it is shared with the workspace, so every engineer produces the same report in the same order.
