Transmission & Switching

DWDM, routing and switching delivery — the workflow NetStack was born in.

How it runs

Transmission & Switching on NetStack.

The 29-block DWDM plan template, the seven-phase SOW-to-plan AI and the recurring SLA quote shapes all came from transmission delivery. If you deliver DWDM, MPLS or switching projects for an operator, this is the closest fit in the market. It is also the one discipline with a gate that bites BEFORE the work: where a change window is in scope, the cutover tasks are held until change control, the method of procedure and back-out plan, the client notification and the standby contacts are confirmed — and the crew's phone says NOT APPROVED until they are.

Everything below carries a status badge — Included is built today and Roadmap is not.

Roadmap Coming, not here yet

Not built yet for transmission & switching.

We only sell what's built. These are on the roadmap and clearly marked — ask on the demo where each one sits in the queue.

  • RoadmapCutover checklist templates per vendor platform
  • RoadmapOTDR / splice-loss test sheets per link
  • RoadmapLink-budget and path-profile capture for wireless
  • RoadmapOffline mode for the crew app (queue work on site, sync when signal returns)
  • RoadmapWhatsApp notifications to clients and crews (messages passed through at cost)
Everything in NetStack — included

No modules. No add-ons.

Every telecoms & fibre workspace gets all of this on every user band. No VAT is charged.

  • Telecoms quote packIncluded

    project or standalone quotes (cabling, LEO, resource supply, support, SLA), once-off or recurring with SLA severity tiers, AI-drafted lines from a BOM/BOS, and an AI margin review.

  • Pricebook by role and rate typeIncluded

    hourly, daily, monthly — with AI import of any rate sheet and a learning loop that suggests rate updates from what your PMs actually charge.

  • Moldable project plansIncluded

    supply-only, labour-only, CAB, Smallworld dependency, recovery — or AI-drafted from the SOW; Excel plan import for live programmes; acceptance gate with kickoff; auto-schedule at crew capacity.

  • Network surveysIncluded

    persistent site asset base, port-level patching, drag-and-drop rack elevations, photos, ITU-T X.733 severity findings and a RAG rollup with cited standards; per-survey, per-client and portfolio reports.

  • Team loadIncluded

    every engineer's allocation across in-flight projects, over-allocation flags and who still owes today's update.

  • Handover readiness gateIncluded

    patching and labelling verified on site (with a photo), test results attached, as-built updated, recovered equipment returned to stores, client walked through. The project cannot reach sign-off until it passes, and a manager waiving it must write why — which then prints on the client's pack.

  • Pre-CAB gate on transmission & switching workIncluded

    where a change window is in scope, the cutover tasks are held until change control, the method of procedure and back-out plan, the client notification and the standby contacts are all confirmed. The crew's phone shows NOT APPROVED before they touch a live network.

  • CRM spineIncluded

    clients, sites, contacts and contracts, with monthly retainers where you have them. Every quote, job and timesheet hangs off the client.

  • Lead pipelineIncluded

    a Kanban board with your own stages, a hosted web enquiry form (or a form snippet for your site), duplicate matching and templated email follow-up. Quotes and POs move the card for you.

  • Projects with an editable planIncluded

    tasks, assignees, hours and dates, a change log, and planned-vs-actual as the work lands.

  • Jobs & dispatchIncluded

    a weekly board by person or crew; drag a job onto a day to schedule and assign it, with a warning when someone is double-booked.

  • Crew appIncluded

    an installable phone app for the people on site: today's jobs, status, subtasks, hours, notes, navigate and call the client. It keeps working with no signal: today's work is held on the phone, what the crew records is queued, and it syncs by itself when signal returns.

  • Timesheets & daily updatesIncluded

    crews log hours and progress from a link, with Telegram bot binding for your team.

  • Tickets & SLAIncluded

    log faults and maintenance against the client and contract, with response and resolution timers by priority, a pause while you wait on the client, and billable hours captured on the ticket to raise an invoice record.

  • Stock & assetsIncluded

    materials and consumables by quantity with reorder alerts and a movement log; receive and stocktake with the phone camera; serialised kit tracked to the job it went into; an asset register with custody history.

  • HSEIncluded

    a South African catalogue of certificates, medicals and appointment letters tracked to expiry, plus a client-ready Field HSE file compiled per project as a PDF.

  • Documents & exportsIncluded

    typed files against each job (PO, quote, photos, as-builts, snags…), a sign-off pack PDF with handover checklist and photos, and branded Excel/PDF exports.

  • TrainingIncluded

    your own SOPs as scheduled tests, hand-written or AI-drafted, with per-question results so you see what the team keeps getting wrong.

  • Business dashboardIncluded

    won value against real cost and overheads, margin by client, SLA and retainer strips, a health score graded A–D, and an AI business review in plain language.

  • Your brandIncluded

    logo and colours across the app, branded login link, branded PDFs and Excel.

  • Your wordsSet up for you

    Projects, Tickets and module names read the way your trade talks, configured at onboarding.

  • Your stagesSet up for you

    pipeline stages, contract types and HSE file indexes set up for how you sell and deliver.
