What we found

We read your workflow. Here's what we saw.

This isn't a generic AI pitch. We mapped every step of your sales operation, timed every bottleneck, and talked to the people who live in it. Discovery is complete — seven sessions across leadership, operations, and reporting.

The insight

You asked for a pricing tool.
What you actually have is a data-fragmentation problem.

Pricing delay is the symptom. The root cause is information trapped in PDFs, inboxes, portals and people's heads — forcing your best practitioners to spend their time on data entry instead of client strategy. AI is uniquely good at exactly this class of problem.

The problem

Six friction points between lead and closed-won

Friction

Incomplete quote requests

Reps submit 40–60% of required fields. Ops chases the rest.

Friction

Duplicate data entry

The same 12 fields keyed twice — rep, then ops into Salesforce.

Friction

Manual carrier lookups

Connectbase, FLO, portals — 20–45 min per address, no memory.

Friction

Scattered pricing

PDFs, portal logins, emails that take days. No single source of truth.

Friction

Manual approval chain

Sub-40% goes COO → CEO, context rebuilt by hand. 1–24 hr wait.

Friction

No feedback loop

Install performance, NRC surprises, SLA history never feed quoting.

And underneath it all, the pattern Brad named: "every single concept is really four touches." Point5 is the hinge between customer and carrier — so every change multiplies into email volume. That's the noise we reduce.

Sell Deliver Support

"Sell more, deliver more, support better" — in that order. Phase 1 starts where the ROI is clearest: Sell. Each phase delivers a working product your team uses immediately, and gets smarter with every deal.

Phase 1 · Sell (quoting)Phase 2 · DeliverPhase 3 · Support
The transformation

The same quote — today, and with Point5 AI

One quote touches three teams. Toggle between how it works today and what changes when AI does the busywork. The decisions always stay with your people.

Two-speed quoting

Budgetary in seconds. Firm when it counts.

Reps don't fight a form. They quote the way they already work — voice, email, partial intake — and the platform structures it in Salesforce as data arrives. Two modes, one tool:

Budgetary mode

An instant ballpark

Cached pricing returns a fast, directional number so reps can keep a conversation moving — no waiting on carriers.

Firm quote mode

A number you can stand behind

Live carrier pricing, the 40% margin floor enforced in code, and a human review checkpoint before anything firm goes out.

When the AI isn't confident, it routes to a person instead of guessing — graceful degradation, never a wrong number. Reps can edit or override any part without abandoning the tool.

Try it yourself

Quote a request, live.

Type a request the way a rep would — messy, partial, however it arrives — and watch the engine structure it, source carriers, and price it in real time. Sample data, the real flow.

The plan · Sell → Deliver → Support

A platform that grows with you, built in phases

No big-bang launch. Each phase delivers a working product your team can use immediately — starting with the highest-impact, lowest-risk wins.

Phase 1 · now

Sell

AI quoting end-to-end — intake, sourcing, pricing, ranking — plus margin-aware approvals and the first dashboards. The entry point to the platform.

Phase 2 · next

Deliver

Service-delivery automation: touchless ingestion of carrier dates and circuit IDs, intent-based triage, the full dashboard suite and MACD tracking.

Phase 3 · later

Support

NOC orchestration on top of your existing tools, SLA monitoring, automated carrier credit claims, and a customer portal.

Phase 1 · Recommended scope

What we'll build first — and who wins

Our recommended scope is broader than quoting alone, so every team from discovery gets a real win in Phase 1 — not a tool built for one person's view.

BB
For BrandonStrategy & quoting vision
  • Two-speed AI quoting from any format
  • Carrier ranking by price, margin, reliability
  • An early taste of voice — we hear you; the full experience comes in a later phase.
BP
For BradOperations & margin
  • Reliable, consistent margin math — the number commissions depend on
  • Margin-aware approvals with pre-assembled deal context
  • Less email noise — the right things surfaced and escalated
AK
For AmyClient success & reporting
  • Leave your data where it is — we build the views
  • Churn + account-health dashboards that get used
  • Adoption you can actually measure
Dashboards in Phase 1

Starting with the dashboards that matter

Churn dashboard

Built around your definition of churn — circuit loss. Net circuit change (built minus lost) and annual % circuit loss, baked into budgeting rather than month-to-month noise.

Account-health (QBR) dashboard

The most concrete customer-facing surface from discovery: pending installs, circuit performance, utilization, and upcoming renewals — with upgrade options surfaced automatically.

Phase 1 starts with these — it doesn't rebuild all 20+ dashboards at once. MACD tracking and the full suite come in a later phase.

Phase 1 boundaries

What's in, and what's deliberately not

In Phase 1

  • Two-speed AI quoting — intake, sourcing, pricing, ranking
  • Margin-aware approvals with deal scoring
  • Salesforce made usable — read your data, surface what matters
  • Churn + account-health dashboards
  • An early voice proof-of-concept (a small taste — full voice is a later phase)
  • Dev, staging & production hosting — tokens & storage included

Not in Phase 1

  • SOC 2 certification — built with it in mind, certified later
  • Mobile application
  • Full-scale voice — light POC only this phase
  • The full dashboard suite — MACD tracking is a later phase
  • Salesforce Agentforce — paused; we handle the AI layer
The schedule

Phase 1 — to end of August

Timelines include real buffer. We'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than quote the optimistic estimate.

Weeks 1–2
Foundation & access

Stand up dev / staging / production, connect Salesforce, confirm carrier & data access.

Weeks 3–6
Quoting core

Smart intake, auto-sourcing, price engine, carrier ranking — built and tested with your team.

Weeks 5–8
Approvals & dashboards

Margin-aware approval scoring, plus churn and account-health dashboards on your live data.

Weeks 8–10
Voice POC & polish

The light voice proof-of-concept, end-to-end testing, iteration against feedback.

End of Aug
Phase 1 delivery

Production rollout, team trained and in the loop — clear runway into Phase 2.

Working together

What we'll need — and what could move the date

What we'll need from you

A build-with-you engagement — the best results come from your team in the loop.

  • Access to Salesforce and relevant dashboards
  • Availability for working sessions as we build
  • Review and feedback at each milestone
  • Carrier portal details where automation applies

Honest constraints

Our build speed isn't the risk. A few things outside our control move the date — so we flag them up front. They move the date more than our effort does.

  • Salesforce access & configuration readiness
  • Carrier connectivity — some carriers' ability to connect
  • Reporting cleanup of some existing Salesforce reports

A glimpse of what comes after Sell

Later phases extend the platform into service delivery and NOC orchestration — every active circuit visible across your domestic footprint and the international markets you're expanding into. A preview of the direction, not part of Phase 1.

Under the hood

Three layers, cleanly separated

Salesforce stays the system of record. A platform-internal execution layer performs every write in code you own. Above both sits the intelligence layer that synthesizes and presents — so Salesforce becomes invisible to end users, never replaced.

Intelligence & experience · this platform

Reads everything. Reasons. Renders.

Reads from Salesforce, carrier APIs, carrier email and telemetry. Synthesizes, enforces deterministic business rules (the 40% margin floor, True Margin), and renders dynamic, context-aware experiences for reps — no static page layouts.

Execution · code you own

Every Salesforce write runs through code Point5 owns.

Python functions wrapping the Salesforce REST, Composite and Bulk APIs. Case creation, field updates, notifications — deterministic, fully auditable, no third-party agent runtime in the write path.

Data & record · Salesforce, unchanged

Your source of truth, untouched.

Source of truth for Leads, Opportunities, Accounts, Cases and circuit records. Integrated via REST and Change Data Capture. No schema rewrite — only minimal platform-sync fields added.

SalesforceChange Data Capture
A deliberate simplification

Why the execution layer is code — and Agentforce is paused

Agentforce could play the executor role, but for this platform it adds cost and a third-party dependency without adding capability. The intelligence layer is already the agentic reasoning. Agentforce stays paused pending our evaluation — we handle the AI layer.

Cost

No per-conversation consumption fees at projected volume.

Control

Deterministic rules like True Margin live in pure code. The LLM has no path to override them.

Portability

Less platform lock-in — a stronger due-diligence story in any future M&A.

Observability

Every Salesforce write is traceable end-to-end in code you own.

Capability

Custom carrier email parsers and deterministic guardrails Agentforce can't do natively.

Ownership

Day-1 IP transfer — code in your GitHub, deployed in your cloud, from the first commit.

Built on what you already use

Your stack — integrated, not replaced

No rip-and-replace. The platform reads from and respects the tools your business already runs on.

A promise

What we will not break

Salesforce stays

Your system of record. We read from it and make it usable — never replace it.

Billing respected

Breadwinner (SF → QuickBooks) and GPX Cloud carrier auditing keep working as-is.

Humans at the wheel

AI prepares and recommends. Every quote, margin and approval stays yours.

The white glove

Boutique, single-point-of-accountability service is your brand. We protect that tone.

Who we spoke with

Built on your team's own words

Seven discovery sessions across leadership, operations, and client success. Here's what each person told us — and what Phase 1 gives them.

RR
Roberto RamirezChief Executive Officer
"I want Salesforce to be the source of truth for all our data — and dealing exclusively with bots degrades the customer experience."
In Phase 1: Salesforce stays the system of record, made usable. The churn dashboard he's been chasing — built on a circuit-loss definition — plus human at the wheel on every decision.
BB
Brandon ByrneFounder & Chief Strategy Officer
"Sell more, deliver more, support better — in that order."
In Phase 1: the conversational, free-flowing quoting he described — reliable, structured intake from any format. Plus an early taste of voice, with the full platform vision behind it for later phases.
BP
Brad PierantozziChief Operating Officer
"We are home for the customer. Every single concept is really four touches — the goal is to let experts focus on expert tasks, not administrative ones."
In Phase 1: reliable margin math he can trust, margin-aware approvals with pre-assembled deal context, and less email noise — the right things surfaced and escalated.
AK
Amy KrausSr. Director, Client Success & Strategy
"Hit the easy button. We cannot improve adoption without being able to measure it."
In Phase 1: Churn + account-health dashboards on her live data — no migration — and adoption analytics built in, so success is measurable from day one.
TC
Thiago CardosoFractional CTO
"Add value to customers, create stickiness."
In Phase 1: Foundations built to a third-party due-diligence standard — day-1 IP transfer, code in Point5's GitHub, minimal third-party lock-in. The portable, serviceable architecture (his DFX lens) behind the "Point5 AI Studio" platform vision.

The throughline from every session: protect the boutique, white-glove service that makes Point5 different — and remove the busywork burying it.
