Field Service Empowerment

Field Service Empowerment Software for Managing Technicians in the Field

Efficient task handling depends on adequate task assignment and each technician’s motivation to manage their work. When properly qualified and motivated workers receive appropriate information and have the parts they need, the service may be performed during the first visit. But even then, technicians may experience problems, for example if a task turns out to be more complex than expected.

In this situation, effective communication and collaboration between team members is essential. To perform better and deliver top customer service, technicians also need additional incentives such as gamification. To facilitate this, you will need functional, innovative software.

Planned Work for Field Service 

With Comarch FSM software, each technician’s work is planned automatically, based on skill set and location. Each worker receives a notification on a smartphone or tablet, along with all required information about the work order, particular tasks and customer location. By empowering field service operatives to access the service history, they can also diagnose the problem without unnecessary calls to colleagues. Technicians can be advised on the route they should take in order to arrive at a client’s premises on time.
