Telecom Infrastructure Order Automation North America

An agentic order automation layer, built for global wireless infrastructure.

A global leader in wireless communications infrastructure, with ~$4.3B in annual revenue, replaced a cancelled automation vendor with a platform that reads and processes orders roughly 10 times faster, without adding headcount.

01 · Client

A global leader in wireless infrastructure.

The company owns and operates towers, small cells, and fiber leased by major wireless carriers nationwide. It does not run networks, it builds and maintains the infrastructure networks run on.

02 · The problem

Where the automation gap was heading.

The incumbent automation vendor cancelled its product. Without a replacement, every order those tools used to touch was headed back to manual entry.

01

Back to manual entry

Cancelling the incumbent automation meant reverting to entering orders by hand, undoing years of process investment in a single move.

02

Headcount pressure

Without a replacement, 3 people would need to be reallocated to order support, a direct headcount cost the business wanted to avoid.

03

A cycle that was already slow

Even with the prior automation running, average processing time was 57 minutes per order, and full cycle time (submit, process, review) ran 2 or more days, largely queue time from batching.

04

A bar the replacement had to clear

Whatever came next needed completeness and accuracy on par with the incumbent, and it needed to be faster, not just equivalent.

03 · Native limits

What the prior setup got right, and where it still fell short.

The incumbent automation worked. It just wasn’t fast, and it wasn’t going to exist much longer.

01

Match accuracy, not just speed

Extracted order data had to be as complete and correct as the outgoing system, not a faster but shakier replacement.

02

Remove the queue, not just the manual step

A 1-hour automation time was still producing multi-day cycles once batching and queuing were factored in; the fix had to address both.

03

Fit the existing systems of engagement

Work with the ticketing, RPA and site-management tools already in place, rather than requiring a new stack.

04

Avoid adding headcount to solve a software problem

Reassigning people to manual order support was the fallback, not the goal.

04 · What Lyzr built

An agent that reads and processes orders automatically.

Lyzr built an agentic order automation layer: An Order Processing Agent that extracts and validates order data directly from documents, paired with a Business Rule Updater Agent that keeps configuration current.

Core agents
Order Processing Agent
Extracts and parses order documents (RFDS), applies configuration rules, and routes structured data onward.
Business Rule Updater Agent
Keeps site and configuration rules current in the underlying data store, in production scope.
API Connectors
Deliver validated order data directly into the client’s existing site and logistics management systems.
05 · Architecture

Deployed inside the client’s own environment.

No new stack to stand up. Every Lyzr service runs in the client’s private subnets, on their approved models, behind their existing identity and monitoring.

The platform sits in multi-AZ private subnets, with its databases isolated in a subnet of their own.

Cloud deployment architecture in the Lyzr theme: Lyzr EKS services and databases in the client's multi-AZ private subnets, with Bedrock, identity, encryption, logging and monitoring on their existing cloud services.
06 · Controls

What has to be true before an order moves.

The agent’s output has to match the accuracy of the system it replaces.

Accuracy parity
Extraction is held to completeness and accuracy on par with the incumbent platform, not just faster.
Configuration currency
The Business Rule Updater Agent keeps site and equipment rules current, so extraction reflects the latest configuration.
Staged autonomy
The current phase requires a document upload; full inbox-based autonomy is a defined next phase, not assumed from day one.
Existing governance
Identity and data cataloging continue to run through the client’s existing enterprise systems, unchanged.
07 · Re-imagined workflow

From 6 stages across 4 systems to one.

Before: 6 stages spread across 4 systems, with 3 separate automation runs and the request opened and closed by hand. After: one agent carries the order from intake to completion, reaching each system through connectors.

After LyzrThe same 6 stages, all of them in one place.

What the proof of concept showed.

Measured across 2025 and the start of 2026, against the prior automation baseline.

09 · What’s next

From one customer’s orders to the full account base.

The PoC validated accuracy and speed for the first customer account. Next: full production, consolidating legacy RPA and ticketing logic, extending to more carrier customers, adding revision handling for more order types, and moving toward a fully autonomous skill that picks up work from a queue and escalates only when needed.

Proof of concept validated, production rollout underway
