Running a business is hard, but we’re sure we didn’t have to tell you that. Between the logistics of moving parts within a business operation and the volatility of human beings, running a business smoothly is a continuously evolving challenge.
When your company has people in the field and at headquarters, all working together to quickly execute innovative solutions to the bottomless well of tasks being requested, field service management software is an incredibly effective option.
In fact, businesses that streamline field service operations by implementing field service software have reported increasing the number of customers won by as much as 90%. How does it work so well? We know a few ways these innovative solutions will go to work for you from the get-go.
Invoicing
Field service software removes the formerly sluggish process of invoicing and billing your clients. While your company is doing work in the field for a customer, field service management systems track the work done, timeline, inventory used, and cost of work. Beyond that, the bill is ready on the spot rather than having clients wait weeks for their invoice to be calculated and sent out from headquarters. Bills are tough enough to pay, let alone to wait around for. This is a timely, efficient solution to that.
Employee tracking
It sounds a little big brother-ish, but it really boils down to the effective use of time and human resources. Your team in the field is still a team. The needs of clients may change dynamically and having access to the whereabouts of your subcontractors and employees in the field and their current job statuses, you’re better able to address urgent needs with appropriate — and available — personnel.
One platform
Fading are the days of papers lost to filing cabinets. Field service software provides an intuitive platform that acts as the base camp for all of your operational logistics. Whether it’s personnel, inventory, job tasks, or anything in between, having it all in one place, accessible from anywhere ensures security, accessibility, and saving a whole bunch of trees from becoming unneeded paper.
Field service technology works for your business and provides innovative solutions that make jobs far and wide more centralized with one well-developed piece of software. Talk to us and we’re happy to help get your’s running as soon as possible.
