Field Service Management for Telecoms

Efficient workforce organization in the telecommunication sector is a key factor enabling process optimization and increased business productivity. However, with a large number of specialists in different areas, and numerous geographic locations in diverse regions, managing field work optimally becomes much more complicated. With additional factors such as the need for ad hoc rescheduling related to infrastructure failures, and the requirement to manage the effectiveness of subcontracted employees, automating the processes of field service planning, scheduling and reporting become an absolute necessity.

Comarch specializes in comprehensive field workforce management solutions for telecom operators, utilizing large and mobile workforces.

Telecom field service management for CSPs and DSPs

CSPs perform various transformations in multiple areas of their business, one of which includes the creation of unified, well-organized and reconfigurable processes. In an industry where competition has increased significantly in recent years, time to market is crucial for every service provider’s success, and this is where systems dealing with workforce management are of great help. To alleviate the issue of multiple IT systems being involved in field service processes, a central management system should be implemented.

By integrating Comarch FSM (Field Service Management) with telecom systems, and configuring the FSM modules to meet specific needs, operators can increase the level of automation and optimization in their organizations.

Telecom field services management for multi-service operators

The current trend for optimization of telecom field services is also observed on the cable market. In particular, MSOs (multiservice operators), which have grown through acquisitions, need to maintain high customer service quality, while keeping costs at a minimum, which is partially achievable by optimizing workforce organization.

To facilitate this, Comarch FSM enables features supporting the work dispatching process, optimizing field workers’ calendars, their routes to clients, and the efficient management of partners’ employees.
