The language of global infrastructure is often the language of ambition: fiber laid across oceans, towers climbing into the atmosphere, billions of dollars spent. It is a thrilling, almost cinematic scale of enterprise. But the reality of its construction is small, granular, and relentlessly administrative. It is a reality of permits, handoffs, inspection checklists, and the profound, persistent logistical challenge of getting a thing from Point A to Point B, and then making sure it works.
Giuseppe Incitti, the CEO of Sitetracker, operates in this space—the space between the grand vision and the grinding implementation. He doesn’t deal in fiber; he deals in the management of the installation of the fiber. His company is the clipboard, the calendar, and the collective memory for companies like AT&T, Ericsson, and Vodafone as they deploy and operate millions of sites and projects.
Incitti came to this world through a strange and specific apprenticeship. His background isn’t in hard-hat construction or radio frequency; it’s in the austere, fastidious environment of financial services—Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley. He is a man who learned the discipline of capital before learning the discipline of a cable run. This background gives him a particular lens: he doesn’t see a cell tower as a piece of steel; he sees it as an asset whose deployment must be treated with the same ruthless, meticulous efficiency as a balance sheet.
The New Math: When Money Isn’t Free
The shift that put Sitetracker on a new trajectory wasn’t a technological one; it was an economic one. For a long time, Incitti notes, “If money’s free, maybe you don’t have to be perfectly efficient.” Companies could afford the occasional lost day, the stray spreadsheet, the deployment team working with outdated information. But as interest rates and energy costs rise, that cushion has vanished. The margin for error has become expensive, even prohibitive.
This is the sweet spot for Sitetracker. They are selling, not disruption, but relief from operational sloppiness. The core of their platform is the ability to take high-volume, repeatable work—whether it’s the months-long construction of a massive tower or the “hour or two” required to install an IoT sensor, and make the management process identical. It’s the profound comfort of standardization applied to a world of bespoke logistical nightmares.
It’s a platform built for companies that are forced to be big and precise at the same time. The “Ericssons, the Vodafones, and the BTs of the world” are spinning out assets into separate entities for better financial management. These newly independent infrastructure companies require tools to manage their newly demarcated, scaled-up, and highly valuable sites. Sitetracker provides the single source of truth, replacing the “inconsistent spreadsheet-based methods” that had, for too long, been the industry standard.
The Unexpected Rail Line
Incitti’s philosophy, that the viability of a partnership is judged by the volume of activity and the innovation a client intends to bring, has led Sitetracker to strange and wonderful places. Places like a rail line in Germany.
The company recently took its first foray into the rail industry, partnering with KONUX to deploy thousands of smart sensors along the country’s switching stations. This is not telecom; it is predictive maintenance driven by AI. The sensors, leveraging KONUX’s technology, facilitate network usage and traffic monitoring.
The beauty of the Sitetracker platform is that the asset changes, but the administrative problem remains the same. Whether it’s a fiber segment or a rail sensor, you need to manage the permit, track the installation crew, and ensure the deployment is verified. Incitti recognizes this universal need for order. As he observed, the real test of a lab-designed concept is when you have to scale it:
“You can design it in the lab, and it can work, but a lot of times, you have to scale it and get it out there for the end customer benefits.”
For the German rail project, Sitetracker’s teams, including their crucial Customer Success function, are doing the ground-level work of translating global logic into local reality. It’s the painstaking effort of figuring out what makes an installation different “in the UK than in Germany, or maybe in India versus Germany.” It’s not just the obvious things like languages or date formats; it’s the specific, embedded bureaucratic resistance in one country versus another. Sitetracker promises to stay close to the user feedback to smooth out these countless, tiny wrinkles.
The Simplicity of the Application
Incitti is acutely aware that even the most perfect piece of software is useless if the person in the field can’t use it. He views the problem of software adoption as analogous to a mobile phone application: the ones that make it easy, you use; the ones that are hard, you ignore.
This is where the Education team becomes one of the most critical parts of the organization. Their job is to equip customers with a full understanding of the successful software integration, to overcome what Incitti calls the “top challenge” in all projects. It’s a humble acknowledgment that the resistance to change is often logistical, not intellectual.
He is optimistic, not because of a breakthrough, but because of a gradual, human evolution. “As the world moves to more computer interaction, that category of employee or field service worker is also moving up the technology adoption curve… Every year, it gets better and better,” he notes.
Looking ahead, Incitti is most excited about the mundane-sounding improvements requested by customers, like deeper integration with GIS systems. GIS, or geographic information systems, is the map; Sitetracker is the action that follows the map. By bringing these two closer, they unlock further efficiencies.
Giuseppe Incitti’s story isn’t about inventing a new piece of hardware that transmits data faster. It’s about developing a platform, a sort of central, digital intelligence—that brings order to the chaos of massive, multi-national deployment. It is the necessary, quiet infrastructure upon which the noisy, thrilling future of 5G, solar storage, and predictive rail maintenance will be built. He is the man who makes sure the work gets done, on time, and without the wasted effort that comes from a single, misplaced digit on a forgotten form.
