Xect AI combines serviceability data, network inventory, route information and approved unit rates to prepare a build estimate for each construction-dependent order. Pricing above threshold routes to the required approval, and accepted estimates pass into project delivery workflows. A site survey, a permit delay or an incomplete record can extend the timeline for a given order.
An order that needs new construction stalls the moment it lands: someone has to check the drop, walk the route and price the build by hand, while the customer waits. Xect AI agents run that assessment the moment the order arrives, turn it into a build estimate, and route the priced estimate for approval. Approved quotes typically go out the same day; a site survey, a permit delay or an incomplete record can extend that timeline.
The build-required order arrives with address, product and requested date.
Drop exists and type, terminal port capacity, route to the F1/F2 distribution and access points, permits and locates.
Unit rates, contribution policy, hub penetration and expected MRR (monthly recurring revenue) set the customer price.
Approval gate, quote delivered, order updated; accepted quotes hand to Infrastructure Project Management.
Each agent owns one step in the order-to-quote path above and hands off cleanly to the next.
Checks the drop, the terminal and the route before anyone estimates a build
Reads the order address against the GIS network model the moment the "requires build" flag fires, and confirms whether a build is truly needed before an estimator spends a cycle on it.
Turns distance, capacity and permits into a build cost
Takes the serviceability read and builds the cost from measured distance, splice count and permit fees, using the same unit rates a field engineer would apply.
Sets the customer price and routes the gate
Weighs the build cost against contribution policy, hub penetration and expected MRR to set the customer price, then routes anything above threshold to a human before the quote goes out.
Serviceability, estimate and pricing run in one flow instead of waiting in a planner's queue; a site survey or a missing permit record can add time before the quote is ready to send.
The flow stops for a person only at the approval gate for quotes above threshold; everything before it runs unattended.
Every dollar in the estimate traces back to a distance, a unit rate or a permit fee.
A quicker quote reaches the customer before they call a competitor instead.
Shorter response times can reduce friction in the sales process.
When an order lands outside the passed footprint, the agent checks the nearest terminal, prices the drop and quotes it before the customer calls back.
See the industry pageAs a potential adaptation of this flow, when a new service point needs a line extension, the agent would price the pole, conductor and transformer run against tariff before the crew is dispatched.
Talk to us about electric utilitiesAs a potential adaptation of this flow, when a plant extension is needed to reach a new address, the agent would estimate the drop and node capacity and price the build against the same policy every planner uses.
Talk to us about cable & MSOAs a potential adaptation of this flow, when a new connection needs a main tap or a service line, the agent would price trenching, materials and permit fees from GIS before the estimate reaches the customer.
Talk to us about water & gasAs a potential adaptation of this flow, when a site needs a new service run or a transformer upgrade to support a charger bank, the agent would price the interconnect before the site host commits.
Talk to us about EV charging networksOwns the outside-plant design and serviceability rules, and needs every automated estimate to read the same GIS and inventory data the planning team already trusts.
Owns the customer relationship through the quoting stage, and needs a defensible price in hand while the prospect is still on the call, not three weeks later.
Owns delivery once the quote is approved, and needs the final construction cost to track closely to the original estimate, with the GIS inputs and permits already attached.
Owns the capital contribution rules that decide who pays for the build, and needs every quote above threshold to stop for approval instead of slipping through on a planner's judgment.
