Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Telecom Contractor Solutions.

Getting Started

Yes. Telecom Contractor Solutions is ISP and telecom only: aerial and underground, typically 10 to 100 field technicians. Multi-trade work sits with our parent brand. This site stays telecom-specific.

We build operations systems for telecom contractors running 10 to 100 field crews. The core is TCS Map Annotator: the crew marks the map and submits, and the tally comes from the marks, priced from your price book, ready for the invoice. The Operations Audit looks at the rest of your operation, from billing to crew paperwork, and tells you what to fix first.

ISP and telecom contractors who install fiber, cable, or aerial infrastructure for owners and prime contractors. If you run field crews and your office rebuilds the job from phones and paper before it can invoice, we built this for you.

Generic platforms are built for other service workflows. They do not start from ISP rate codes or the finished-to-billed gap telecom contractors live in. TCS starts where the work happens: the crew marks the map, and the tally comes from the marks, ready for the invoice.

We work best with telecom contractors running 10 to 100 field crews. Big enough that spreadsheets and group chats are breaking down, but not so big that you have an IT department building internal tools.

Not necessarily. TCS starts with the map, the tally, and the invoice, and works alongside what you already use for accounting and payroll. The goal is to fill gaps, not rip and replace everything.

How It Works

It starts with a Free 30-minute Fit Call where we get a feel for your operation and decide together if a paid Operations Audit is the right next step. The Audit covers recorded interviews with ownership and crew, process mapping, an opportunity matrix, a prioritized roadmap, and ROI math on every recommendation. The timeline is agreed before the Audit starts. From there, we set up TCS for how your crews mark maps and bill, and give you launch support after go-live.

Your go-live timeline is set on the Free 30-minute Fit Call and written into your Order Form. We do not spend months on requirements documents. We build fast, get feedback from your crews in the field, and iterate.

That is the number one concern we hear, and it is why we build differently. Every system is designed for how crews actually work in the field, not how an office thinks they should work. We keep interfaces simple, reduce data entry to the minimum, and handle onboarding directly with your crew leads.

You work directly with the TCS team. Support is included with your subscription, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central. We aim to respond within 1 business day.

Pricing and Investment

Package prices are on our pricing page. On the Free 30-minute Fit Call we look at how your operation runs and match you to a package. Everything is put in writing in your Order Form before you commit, so there are no surprises.

Results depend on your operation. The places contractors usually look first are unbilled work, billing cycle time, and admin hours. Use the ROI calculator or the cash flow and factoring calculator to run your own numbers, or we can walk through it on the Free 30-minute Fit Call.

Drop Production, Map-to-Cash and Map Annotator are month-to-month, and you can cancel with 30 days' written notice. Full Production Operations, Construction Financial Control and Prime are 12-month terms that renew automatically for 12 months unless you give 60 days' notice before renewal. The plan terms are on our pricing page, and your Order Form sets your final terms.

Technical Details

We build on modern cloud platforms that scale with your business. The specific stack depends on your needs, but everything is web-based and works on a phone in the field.

We use commercially reasonable backup and recovery procedures. You own your data. While your account is active, you can ask for a standard export.

Your data is yours. You get a standard data export after you cancel. Large custom exports are billed separately. No data hostage situations.
