Field Service Software Automation Can Reduce Costs And Boost Sales

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Field Service Software automation can improve technician and asset utilization, compliance with internal policies and external regulations, and customer retention through increased SLA compliance and first-call repair resolution. These systems will reduce paperwork and phone calls, as well as improve technicians and sales rep productivity and inventory visibility. The software can also boost sales by allowing technicians to open work orders, perform preventive maintenance, and accept payment on-site, as well as take advantage of upselling or cross-selling opportunities on-site.

Businesses in a wide variety of industries provide customers with field services as a primary business or as part of long-term customer service and support. Field service organizations may include, for instance, manufacturers who offer after-market service, mechanical contractors, and property or utility managers. Depending on the size and type of organization, field services may involve a handful of employees in a local area or thousands of staff internationally. Regardless of whether such field services represent the primary business, a secondary profit center, or a competitive differentiator, organizations with a field service component depend on efficient coordination among distant field employees, dispatch and office staff, and the companies collective customer and business knowledge.

Unfortunately, managing field operations accurately and effectively can be a challenge for all companies. Manual processes and uninformed decisions are the rule, not the exception. Inconsistent work practices, lack of inadequate or untimely visibility into field activities, and volumes of paperwork hinder efficiency and drag down both customer service and profits. Manual reporting of time and materials requires redundant data entry, increases the likelihood of errors, and delays planning and billing. In addition, intellectual capital and know-how frequently resides in just one or two experienced people, leaving the organization at substantial risk of operational chaos and loss of intellectual capital if the unexpected occurs.

Yet even with the most experienced scheduling managers, work-assignment decisions rarely take full advantage of timely data on resource availability, qualifications, service history, optimal routing, work priority, and other demands on the resources. There are simply too many shifting factors to quickly incorporate into a manual scheduling or work assignment process. This is particularly true given the competitive environments of field service markets, wherein customers are expecting not only faster service and more accurate estimates of arrival and completion times, but also that they "get it fixed" the right way the first time.

Despite these challenges, field service operations are often the last part of an organization to capitalize on information technologies. Although many businesses enjoy the efficiencies of enterprise resource systems and supply chain automation, those systems rarely extend throughout the management of field operations. Moreover, the gains provided by existing business solutions and supply chain systems are subject to the law of diminishing returns. In most organizations, however, field service operations still represent the last frontier for technological innovation. There, process integration, targeted automation, and electronic information can still dramatically increase productivity, operational insight, and management.

You need an end-to-end Field Service Software solution that can efficiently integrate customer, business, and operational information, making that information accessible to both office and field staff as needed for maximum efficiency in work scheduling, assignment, completion, parts inventory management, equipment management, reporting, and billing.

Scheduling and dispatching field service and sales resources are challenges for service organizations. Many organizations rely on out-of-date software and paper-based and telephone-based processes to link field service workers with the office. Traditionally, field resources have been required to physically visit an office or call office staff on the phone to receive dispatch instructions, which is costly and takes time that could be better spent servicing customers. At the remote service sites, workers often did not have ready access to the information required to complete the service call on the initial visit. In addition, once a service call was completed, the need for completed forms and other documents delayed the closing of the service order, which in turn delayed billing and reduced customer satisfaction. Bella’s web based technology enable’s field service organizations to automate their schedules and dispatch processes, thereby reducing office costs and increasing technician and sales productivity.

Company officials stated, "We work closely with our Clients who provide invaluable real world requirements. Merging these requirements with our customizable technology allows us to provide the best possible solution for the Field Service Industry.”
