Field Service
CRM
Resolve service issues the first time – delivering exceptional customer experiences every time
Get the right technician to the right place at the right time, fixing the problem first time.
Traditionally, every time something breaks, you send someone to fix it. But this model is not scalable as service organisations only have limited resources to meet increasing customer demand. Legacy systems lead to inadequate enablement of technicians. Technicians require connected and productive systems that help them to achieve goals, but disconnected and fragmented systems hinder their productivity.
Technology is evolving at a rapid rate changing the Field Service landscape. To remain competitive, field service organisations must continually adapt and readjust their focus to take advantage of new opportunities and grow.
With the advent of advanced analytics, machine learning, and augmented reality capabilities, organisations are moving towards using a proactive support model allows technicians to proactively monitor and maintain equipment and devices. Predictive maintenance is being driven by data analytics, ensuring proactive customer engagement.
