The Challenge
The high cost of a disconnected field workforce
Your field workers are responsible for the single-most important aspect
of your business - the daily interaction with your customers.
The quality of service your field workers provide for your customers can
drive your sales and customer retention levels up — or down; and the
productivity levels of these workers will drive the cost of a field visit up
— or down.
Touching Data Twice
When service workers spend the day out in the field disconnected from
your core business systems, they are forced to collect information on
paper
based forms that must then be entered into the computer at a later time.
Data must be touched twice, this inefficiency costs money; it takes time and
there are opportunities for data capture errors.
Lag Time
The lag time between when information is collected, entered and visible
in your computer systems negatively impacts the accuracy and efficiency of
your business.
Unnecessary time is spent updating clients; who have come to expect
instant gratification; on the state of their work orders.
Lack of Accountability
Your mobile workforce is one of your most expensive assets and without a
real-time connection to this field workforce, supervisors cannot monitor the
location of these mobile workers or the state of service requests. An audit
trail of field events is mandatory within certain industries such as
healthcare where high litigous costs are a concern.
Field Service Solution
Real-time Information
Using FieldMetrix there will be no more "lost" paperwork in the field.
You will know where your field staff are and exactly what work has been
completed and what remains to be done.
The time that used to be spent collecting and processing paper-based information can now be
spent completing more work orders per day. The
elimination of paper in the field substantially reduces the
costs associated with data
entry and administration.
Expedited Service
- Improve workforce management with visibility into the dispatch queue,
real-time
proof of service and customer-facing issues.
- Take color pictures for proof of condition or proof of service
- Complete the job correctly on the first visit

clients or field service management minutes after a job has been
completed.

Scan parts as they are utilized to ensure the capture of all appropriate
consumables required for accurate billing.

accurate labor costing.
