What Do Repair Techs Want for the Holidays? (Psst: It’s Field Service Management Software!)

Field service techs want to make their jobs easier. Learn why field service management software is the must-have holiday gift.

Stuff Their Stockings with Field Service Management Software

The last thing your team wants is to work in chaos, and outdated processes make things challenging. Techs and managers alike are fed up with time-consuming paperwork and inefficient dispatching. Recover lost efficiency, know where your techs are, and assign the best person for the job with an all-in-one software solution.

Benefits of Field Service Management Software

Field service management software is designed to bring technology into the service mix, modernizing in-the-field repairs and maintenance for staff and customers. By using inclusive software, you expedite service activities without sacrificing quality.

1. Work from anywhere.

Everyone’s remote now. Well, you could be, too. Field service management software fully supports remote operations, whether your tech is on the road en route to the next house call or you need to work from home.

Because it’s cloud-based, field service management software doesn’t tether you to a physical program or a specific location. Do business from anywhere and save time with enhanced operational visibility, instead. Information is stored centrally via dashboards, so you can access everything you need using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Bonus: Cloud capabilities simplify time tracking, scheduling, and dispatching, too!

2. Eliminate paperwork.

Get rid of that darn paper, already. Invoices, service records, and more pile up, making your desk look like an obstacle course and weighing down your filing cabinets. But cloud-based software eliminates all the agonizing filing and organizing and removes the need for manual customer signatures.

3. Simplify scheduling and dispatching.

Forget the spreadsheets and hang up with the tech on the other line. Field service management software has dispatching options built for service contractors. Just go into the platform and use features like drag-and-drop to quickly and easily schedule and reschedule service appointments. You can even get a quick glance at the needs for each job and pricing estimates.

4. Increase visibility in the field.

Keep a close eye on field activities. Features like GPS tracking provide visibility so you know who is where at any given time. And it’s not just about who’s closest to the job site—use your improved visibility to deploy the best technician for each job.

5. Make payments easier.

Mobile or traditional? When you give customers payment flexibility, it makes life easier for them, enhancing their experience and keeping you competitive.

Field service management software includes invoicing and payment in one platform. Technicians can easily send invoices and process customer-favorite payment methods like credit, debit, and ACH—and do it all in the field with a mobile app. Because the software stores information in the cloud, it’s even a breeze to save customer payment information for future service.
