How to Build AI-Powered Case Routing for Network Equipment Support

Manual case classification delays resolution when network downtime costs thousands per minute.

In Brief

Integrate AI case routing by connecting your CRM to a classifier trained on historical tickets, device telemetry, and SNMP trap patterns. Use REST APIs to route network equipment issues to the right support team in real time.

Implementation Challenges

Fragmented Data Sources

Case data lives in Salesforce, telemetry in Splunk, device configs in NetBox, and SNMP traps in Nagios. Building a unified view requires custom ETL pipelines and constant schema reconciliation.

4-6 weeks Typical Integration Time

Model Training Complexity

Generic NLP models fail on network equipment terminology. Training custom classifiers on firmware versions, CVE references, and device families demands domain-specific feature engineering.

Real-Time Latency Requirements

Support SLAs demand sub-second routing decisions. Batch processing and heavyweight model inference introduce unacceptable delays for critical network outages.

<500ms Target Routing Decision Time

Architecture and Integration Approach

The platform exposes a REST API endpoint that accepts case payloads from your CRM webhook. The request body includes case description, customer account ID, and optional telemetry context. The classifier returns routing recommendations with confidence scores in JSON format.

Training happens via Python SDK. You ingest historical case data labeled with resolution teams, then fine-tune a pretrained language model on network equipment vocabulary. The SDK handles feature extraction from device logs, SNMP trap patterns, and firmware version strings without custom NLP engineering.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Sub-second API response time enables real-time routing without degrading CRM performance.
  • Python SDK uses standard libraries, avoiding proprietary frameworks or vendor-specific tooling.
  • Stateless architecture scales horizontally without session affinity or complex clustering.

Data Integration Requirements

Network equipment support generates structured telemetry from SNMP polling, syslog streams, and device APIs. The platform ingests these via webhook listeners or batch ETL jobs. Case classification uses both unstructured text (customer descriptions) and structured signals (trap OIDs, error codes) to determine routing.

For network OEMs, the highest-value training data comes from cases where firmware CVEs, configuration drift, or capacity saturation drove the root cause. Labeling these accurately improves classifier precision on hardware versus software issues.

Deployment Considerations

  • Start with high-volume case types like firmware update inquiries to build training corpus quickly.
  • Connect syslog and SNMP trap feeds first for real-time device context enrichment.
  • Measure routing accuracy weekly against agent reclassification rates to track model drift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What programming languages are supported for integration?

The platform provides Python and TypeScript SDKs for model training and inference. REST APIs accept standard JSON payloads, so any language with HTTP client libraries can integrate for case routing.

How do I avoid vendor lock-in with Bruviti?

Bruviti uses standard REST APIs and open data formats. You can export trained models as ONNX files and run inference in your own environment. No proprietary runtimes or closed-source dependencies are required.

Can I retrain the model on new case data without full redeployment?

Yes. The Python SDK supports incremental training where you add new labeled cases to the existing corpus and retrigger fine-tuning. Updated models deploy via API version management without downtime.

What latency should I expect for routing decisions?

API response times are typically under 300ms for case classification requests. Latency depends on payload size and network round-trip time, but the inference engine is optimized for sub-second decisions.

How does the classifier handle network equipment terminology it hasn't seen before?

The model uses subword tokenization to infer meaning from device families, firmware versions, and CVE identifiers even when exact strings are novel. You can also provide custom vocabulary lists during training to improve handling of proprietary product names.
