Crexendo Turns AI into a Revenue Engine for MSPs, Podcast

Telecom Reseller / Technology Reseller News

At the Crexendo UGM, Doug Gaylor, President & COO of Crexendo, told Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green that AI is the next industry “game changer”—not just for cost savings, but for making money. Gaylor outlined how Crexendo’s ecosystem now includes pre-integrated, ready-to-sell AI applications—such as an AI receptionist—that partners can brand, lightly tailor, and deploy quickly. “It’s not about how they save money with AI—it’s how they make more money with AI,” he said, citing examples like a 15-person HVAC firm in Phoenix using AI to book, reschedule, and triage calls 24/7, driving more completed jobs and higher dispatch efficiency.

Gaylor emphasized that these AI services layer onto Crexendo’s concurrent-use UCaaS model, enabling partners to widen margins versus per-seat competitors and expand account value. The typical customer paying about $350/month could grow to $500/month with AI-enabled workflows—“a win for the end customer, a win for our partners, and a win for Crexendo,” he noted. He also highlighted hospitality use cases (e.g., guest services requests, spa scheduling, towel deliveries) where instant responses boost satisfaction while human associates focus on higher-value tasks.

The UGM itself reflected strong momentum, with record attendance and sponsorship and partners asking for Gaylor’s slides to brief their teams. Looking beyond the Crexendo community, Gaylor invited BroadSoft and MetaSwitch operators to consider migrating, pointing to multiple recent conversions and asserting that the move delivers gains in technology, cost structure, and partnership support.
