Sitetracker vs Sytex: the same telecom build, without Salesforce underneath

Sitetracker vs Sytex

Sitetracker and Sytex both take a telecom build from plan to closeout. Where they differ is in what it takes to get there, and in who can change the process once it is running.

Sitetracker is a managed package that installs inside Salesforce. Before the first site you need a Salesforce org on an eligible edition, Sitetracker licenses listed from US$150 per user per month, service hours to configure it and admins who know the platform. In Sytex the operations team builds its own workflows, forms and automations in a visual editor, and connects its own AI agents to do part of the work.

Based on Sitetracker's public pages and its Salesforce AppExchange listing as of November 11, 2026.

Every area of a towerco, on the same site

For a towerco, the site is the unit. Search and candidates, legal and permits, civil works, colocation, maintenance and billing each run their own workflows, and all of them hang from the same site record, so a lease about to expire or a free slot on the structure is visible to every area at once.

The workflow, built by the team that runs it

In Sytex the process is a diagram the operations team draws itself: milestones across the top, tasks with their owner and duration, branches that run in parallel and join again. Each task knows what it needs to close and what it opens next.

When the procedure changes, the same team edits the template and the next project already runs on the new version. Adding a step, splitting a branch or changing who approves does not go through an admin, a consultant or a release.

Your own AI agents, inside the process

An agent in Sytex is a step you configure: what to read (a photo, a form, a document), what to check in plain words, what to fill in and what to do with the result. The one below reviews a photo from the field, reads the power meter, lists the free ports, approves or rejects, and writes the result on the site.

Agents run when their trigger fires, so the work moves without someone watching a queue. And because Sytex has an official MCP server, the team can also ask Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot about its projects and act on them with its own permissions.

What Salesforce underneath costs you

Running on Salesforce sounds like an advantage until you count what comes with it. Sitetracker needs an org on an eligible edition, so the Salesforce licenses come first. Then the Sitetracker licenses, listed from US$150 per user per month. Then the configuration, which Sitetracker sells as service hours, and the admins, who certify in a three-day course just to manage templates, trackers and dashboards.

Every change to the process after go-live goes back to those admins. In a rollout, where the procedure changes with each client and each region, that is where the time goes.

In the field

Each contractor sees only its own sites and reports in the form you defined. The AI checks each photo as it is taken, against criteria your team writes in plain words, and the technician retakes the one that fails before leaving. Material is traced by serial number to the task where it was used.

When Sytex is the better fit

  • You want the operations team to build and change its own workflows, without depending on Salesforce admins or a services contract.
  • You want AI agents doing part of the work inside the process, configured by your team.
  • Contractors do most of the field work, each in its own queue, and each photo has to be accepted on site.
  • Your crews work in Spanish or Portuguese. Sytex runs in nine countries in Latin America.

Sitetracker makes sense mostly for a company that already pays for Salesforce Enterprise and has admins with time for one more application. For everyone else, the Salesforce org is a cost before the first site.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sitetracker built on Salesforce?

Yes. Sitetracker installs in a Salesforce org as a managed package, on the Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance or Developer editions. To use it you need that org, its licenses and someone to administer it.

How much does Sitetracker cost?

Its Salesforce AppExchange listing shows a price from US$150 per user per month. That is on top of the Salesforce org it runs in and the service hours to configure it.

Can I build my own AI agents in Sytex?

Yes. Each agent has its instructions, the inputs it reads, the outputs it fills and the actions it can take, such as updating a site or advancing a task, and it runs inside the workflow when its trigger fires. You can also connect Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot to Sytex and work with your own permissions.

Does Sytex need Salesforce?

No. Sytex runs on its own web platform and field app. There is no third-party license to buy before the first project, and it connects to other systems through its REST API and webhooks.
