Features
Field Service helps organizations improve customer satisfaction with reliable service through predictable service delivery. Speed, flexibility, and organization are all important factors in winning new business and renewing existing contracts.
Field Service provides the ability to manage people and equipment with flexible scheduling options.
A drag-and-drop schedule board allows dispatchers to assign resources and setup schedules for multiple work orders using a Gannt, map or list views, while resource scheduling optimization fully automates scheduling.
Synchronize inventory, set re-order points and track inventory down to the truck level helping drive efficiency and productivity. Manage inventory across locations, including warehouses, depots, and trucks. Inventory is always accurate, so you can better track service stock for fewer write-offs, and create better forecasts.
No matter what device is used, organizations can gain visibility into customer information and leverage native mobile applications to provide real time and offline data to improve field processes and increase technician productivity.
Mobile workers are provided with a calendar of work order details that can be dynamically updated. Work orders are linked to the customer and case history, installed product configurations, parts information, pricing, and more.
Connected Field Service allows a field service organization to detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues remotely so a technician is dispatched only when necessary. In a traditional field service organization, the customer has a problem and calls to get it fixed.
