Keep Field Crews Pulling Cable & Commercial Bids Moving
Without Getting Buried in Blueprints, Fluke Certs & Closeout Submittals
Your technicians belong on ladders, pulling Cat6A and splicing singlemode fiber—not waiting on supplier POs, missing submittal cut sheets, or chasing drop test reports. Sagedoer provides trained Virtual Assistants dedicated to low-voltage blueprint takeoffs, Fluke LinkWare test report exports, technician dispatching, distributor quoting (Graybar/Anixter/Wesco), and general contractor closeout packages. Overseen daily by a Dedicated Project Manager at zero extra cost.
Full Low-Voltage Estimating & Field Coordination Back-Office
Running a data cabling business means balancing fast-moving job sites with tedious paperwork. Our specialized assistants take care of drawing takeoffs, test certifications, vendor purchase orders, and contractor billing packets so you can win more bids.
Drawing Takeoffs & Drop Counts
Accelerate your bid submittals without missing a single network drop. We mark up plans and quantify materials accurately using industry-standard takeoff software.
- Counting Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A voice/data drops and WAP locations in Bluebeam & PlanSwift
- Calculating linear horizontal cable run lengths with standard service loop allowances
- Building preliminary Bills of Materials (BOM) for patch panels, jacks, racks & J-hooks
Fluke LinkWare Certs & As-Builts
Turn chaotic jobsite tester files into polished certification binders that pass general contractor audits and secure 25-year manufacturer warranties.
- Ingesting raw copper & fiber OTDR test files via Fluke LinkWare software
- Flagging failed lengths, NEXT/Return Loss issues, or missing drop labels for re-testing
- Exporting indexed, bookmarked PDF certification packages matching architectural drop IDs
Crew Dispatch & Job Logistics
Ensure your cable pullers, fiber splicers, and lead techs arrive on site with clear scopes, security clearances, and proper equipment reservations.
- Scheduling daily crew assignments inside Simpro, Jobber, FieldEdge, or ServiceTitan
- Coordinating scissor lift rentals, core drilling permits, and loading dock access windows
- Sending site safety compliance, badging requests, and scope briefings to techs
Distributor RFQs & PO Management
Stop overpaying on plenum cable spools and patch cords. We request competitive quotes across your preferred supply houses and track shipments to the shop or job trailer.
- Requesting competitive line-item bids from Wesco/Anixter, Graybar, and Accu-Tech
- Generating Purchase Orders and matching packing slips against vendor invoices
- Tracking long-lead items like server cabinets, fiber distribution panels, and fiber patch cables
Submittals, RFIs & Warranties
Satisfy general contractor document requirements quickly. We assemble cut sheets, draft RFIs for pathway blockages, and submit manufacturer warranty registrations.
- Compiling technical product cut sheets (Panduit, CommScope, Leviton, Belden, Superior Essex)
- Drafting RFIs for pathway obstructions, ceiling heights, and MDF/IDF rack clearance
- Submitting test data for Panduit Certification Plus or CommScope Systimax warranty programs
Change Orders & Progress Invoicing
Never lose money on out-of-scope cable runs or extra field drops. We track field technician notes, draft change orders, and prepare progress billing packages.
- Logging field-requested drop additions and core penetrations into formal change order requests
- Assembling percentage-of-completion progress billing schedules for GC approval
- Syncing approved job milestones into QuickBooks, Xero, or your central accounting portal
Proficient Across Low-Voltage, Takeoff & Field Management Platforms
Zero learning curve. Our virtual assistants are already comfortable with the drawing tools, cable certification software, and field service platforms you rely on.
