Field operations management has never been more difficult. As businesses grow, client expectations increase, and the demand for a service that is provided in a timely, efficient, high-quality manner is greater than ever before.
Field service automation is often responsible for many overlapping tasks such as scheduling appointments, tracking tasks, managing inventory, managing technicians, managing expectations, and, you guessed it, managing customer satisfaction. Traditional methods of managing field service operations, like spreadsheets, manual dispatching, and other traditionally disconnected software tools, are not going to cut it.
Traditional methods all result in delays, which cause miscommunication, and miscommunication leads to missed opportunities. In today's fast-paced, competitive business world, the need for a more innovative and integrated approach to field service management is critical.
