Fivexer

Every job to the right person. With the reason on record.

Fivexer assigns work and builds rosters for support desks, field crews and shift teams — from your rules for skills, capacity, priority and fairness. Your dispatcher stops holding the board in their head; your auditor gets a record of who was considered and why.

Why this outcome

A missing qualification is a veto, not a penalty

before scoring

A tag weighted 0 makes someone ineligible. No score can buy past it, and the learning layer only ever re-ranks candidates who already passed every hard rule.

Backlog caps protect the fastest hand

before scoring

Someone already at the limit you set is not offered more, however well they match.

Only then does the best fit win

the ranking

Skill weight, priority and current load, in the order you ranked them. Got one wrong? Reassign in one click; the record keeps both decisions.

Leaving Twilio TaskRouter? Same routing job. Not metered per task.

TaskRouter routes tasks to workers by skill and priority and charges $0.06 for each one, forever. Fivexer does the same job on a flat plan, keeps routing data in the EU, and writes down why each worker was chosen.

What changes
Fivexer
TaskRouter
Where the data goes
Yes: Routing data stays in Frankfurt, DE. Every subprocessor named.
No: Tasks and worker data are processed in Twilio’s US cloud.
What the bill does at volume
Yes: A plan with the volume included. Public prices, 60 days’ notice.
No: Metered per task, every month, with no published volume discount.
Why this worker
Yes: Every decision records who was considered, who was ruled out, and the rule that did it.
Partly: Lifecycle events say what happened, not why a worker was chosen.
Spreading the work
Yes: Backlog caps and fairness modes built in — best-match, balanced, spread-work.
Partly: Longest-idle within a queue. Anything beyond it, you build.
Beyond the contact centre
Yes: Tickets, field jobs, shifts, AI agents as workers. Tags are generic.
Partly: Shaped for Twilio Flex. Other domains fight the grain.
Voice, SMS, chat
No: Not here, by design. A routing engine, not a telephony platform.
Yes: Native, with Twilio’s platform SLA. If you are on Flex, this is the better fit.

Moving over is a webhook in and a decision out. The migration guide maps workspaces, task queues and worker attributes to their Fivexer equivalents, and the full Twilio TaskRouter alternative comparison runs eleven rows, both ways.

Twilio’s figures are its published list price (twilio.com/en-us/pricing) as of August 2026, in USD as published. Ours are in EUR, as published on /pricing. TaskRouter is excellent at what it is built for; this is about fit as a routing engine, not overall product quality.

You can be routing your own work the same afternoon. Nothing below needs a rollout plan.

Point your agent at it

A webhook in, a decision out, on every ticket or job — over the API, the SDK, or an AI assistant that speaks MCP.

Where it stops

Fivexer sits beside your helpdesk, field app, payroll and HR system — it replaces none of them. There is no one-click connector yet, and we would rather say so here than on the second call. The docs and the agent interface are how a developer wires it up; moving from Twilio TaskRouter has a written migration guide.

A small EU vendor. Every claim links to its proof.

You are going to ask procurement to approve us. These are the facts they check first — and the page that proves each one, including the certifications we do not hold.

What the product gives you

Every decision comes with its reason.Who was considered, who was ruled out, and the rule that did it. Reassign in one click and the record keeps both decisions.
Your rules, not a vendor's opinion.Skills, capacity, priority, fairness, rest and hours are figures you set. No country's legal limits ship as defaults, and a rule you did not write cannot be broken.
Your people need nothing from an app store.The worker portal opens on the phone they already have, with a PIN rather than a password, in the language they read, with your name on it.
Work is spread fairly, not dumped on the fastest hand.Backlog caps and fairness modes keep one person from drowning while others idle — tickets, cases, field jobs and AI agents alike.
Ranking never profiles anyone.Qualifications, permissions, rest, travel and real hours. No acceptance history, no no-show prediction, no learned behaviour.

What we commit to

Routing data stays in the EU.One region — DigitalOcean Frankfurt, Germany. Not a "primarily EU" arrangement. Every subprocessor is named on /security, with what reaches each one.
A published Article 28 DPA (v1.1, in force since 27 July 2026).Already binding via the terms, and all 5 subprocessors are listed in it. Read it before you talk to us — /dpa.
A person answers within 1 working day.Support and procurement alike. Not an availability percentage; a commitment about how fast you reach someone who can act. A security report is acknowledged within 3 days, and deletion reaches storage within 30 days.
Prices in public, with notice periods.60 days' written notice before published prices change, and 6 months' grandfathering for launch workspaces.

It pays for itself the moment it hands back <1% of those hours.

The 70% case is an educated planning estimate, not a measured Fivexer result. It keeps 30% for exceptions, rule maintenance and oversight. A published ticket-routing example reduced assignment from two hours to immediate; broader research estimates 49% of managerial work is technically automatable. Neither source proves your result.

The nine questions you would ask anyway.

Every evaluation reaches them within ten minutes. Answered here in writing, so the first call can start at question ten.

Do we need a developer to start?

No. Add your people and their skills in the console, then create work there or import a backlog from a CSV, and build the first roster in the same place. A developer connects your helpdesk or field app later, over the API — in an afternoon, not a quarter.

How long until it is routing our real work?

Run it in shadow first: let the engine decide alongside whoever decides today and compare the two. Most teams read a week of decisions, or a solved rota beside their existing one, before anyone’s work depends on it. There is a shadow-mode checklist for exactly that.

What happens when it gets one wrong?

Reassign in one click, and the record keeps both decisions. A rule you did not write cannot be broken, and a veto you did write cannot be learned around — the learning layer only re-ranks candidates who already passed every hard rule.

Can an AI agent drive this?

Yes, and it takes about a minute rather than a project: point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or anything that speaks MCP at api.5xer.com/mcp, sign in, and it can create work, read the queue, solve a roster and ask why a decision went the way it did. OAuth, so there is no key to paste and nothing to install, and you grant read or read-and-write. The deciding stays deterministic: an agent asks the engine to decide, never instead of it, so every rule and every trace still holds.

Does it work with Zendesk, Jira or our field app?

It sits beside them rather than replacing them: a webhook in, a decision out, on every ticket or job. There is no one-click connector yet, and we would rather say so here than on the second call. Moving from Twilio TaskRouter has a written migration guide.

Whose working-time rules does the roster enforce?

Only the ones you configure. Fivexer ships no country’s legal limits as defaults. You set the figures — minimum rest, hours in a rolling window, night limits — and a configured rule is enforced and explained in plain language. A blank rule is not checked.

Does it replace our payroll or HR system?

No. Fivexer builds and covers the roster and routes the work; payroll, accounting and HR stay where they are. Planned and worked hours, including premiums, export as a record payroll can read.

Do our people need an app from the app store?

No. The worker portal opens on the phone they already have, with a PIN rather than a password, in the language they read, with your name on it — for today’s jobs and this week’s shifts alike.

What if you disappear?

Export is free on every plan, and the matching engine is open source under the MIT licence — so you can run your own rules and traces on your own Redis the same day. Routing data is held in one EU region, and every subprocessor is named on the security page.
