How long does it take to set up a fleet?

A hosted fleet can be running within weeks, because the hardware and the rack already exist. An in-house build takes longer, since hardware has to be sourced, specified and installed in your office before training starts.

Hosted is faster, and that is the main reason to choose it. The phones are already racked and connected. What takes the time is building it around your roster: which creators, which accounts, what schedule, who on your team sees what.

In-house adds hardware procurement, physical setup and training your team to operate it. It is a bigger project and it buys you control of the devices.

Neither is a one week job, and anyone telling you otherwise has not run a fleet. Scaling is staged deliberately: a small batch first, measured for ban rates, then expanded. Going straight to a hundred phones on day one is how you lose a hundred accounts in week two.
