# Routerstack — Field Execution Platform

> Routerstack is an on-demand field execution platform that provides vetted field engineers to MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and data center operators across New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

## What Routerstack Does

Routerstack dispatches background-checked, uniformed field engineers for on-site IT and data center work. Clients book jobs through a portal, technicians receive structured execution plans, complete work with evidence collection, and the platform compiles comprehensive job reports. No retainer, no minimum monthly spend, no long-term contract required.

## Who Routerstack Serves

- **Data Center & Colocation Operators**: Smart hands, remote hands, rack audits, hardware swaps, cable patching, migration support. Technicians follow data center protocols including anti-static procedures, cable management standards, and access control.
- **Enterprise IT Teams**: On-demand field support for distributed office environments, deskside support, and break/fix across multiple locations.
