Tech Takes the Field
As the expectations of customers have risen over the last decade, fueled by the proliferation of technology, smart service organizations have come to realize the significant value that field service management software can bring to their businesses. Managing a sales force of any size is never a simple endeavor. Whether your sales reps are in-house, on the field, all within the same 100-mile radius, or spanning several continents; your job as a sales manager requires organization of a level unachievable by most people. If your organization is still using spreadsheets and whiteboards to manage its field operations, then you can probably imagine how a comprehensive and automated field service solution could increase your organization’s efficiency!
Let’s take a small illustration to better understand this. At the worst time imaginable, your washing machine starts making noises it shouldn’t and then stops working completely. You carve four hours out of your day to await a technician, who shows up late and then discovers that a needed replacement part must be ordered.
It’s the kind of snafu that companies are increasingly trying to avoid by adopting software that diagnoses equipment problems like cracked pistons—sometimes before they happen—and helps workers better schedule house calls. Instead of using paper, spreadsheets, and email, the nation’s estimated 20 million field technicians—the people who fix appliances and tinker with wind turbines—are shifting to mobile apps for scheduling, submitting reports, and identifying the parts they’ll probably need for upcoming repairs.
Business interest in field service apps and data services is fueling a parallel boom in supplying the technology. Sales in the category are expected to reach $5.1 billion by 2020, more than double the figure from five years earlier, according to research firm MarketsandMarkets.
