Making the Move to Mobile Field Service Software
Whether you are looking at developing your mobile strategy or starting out, how do you choose the right solution with so many solutions available today?
From working with a range of service companies in hvac, plumbing and electrical services, we’ve found that there are some common principals.
Ease of integration with existing system flow is the key. You don’t need to have to think about changing your whole field service solution. Extending the life of your current systems is all important so look at mobile solutions which will leverage and expand their use.
Implementation needs to be as quick and straightforward as possible. A lengthy implementation process will defeat its objective. So being up and running in days, not months, should be the realistic goal – delivering a much faster Return on Investment (ROI).
Ultimately, having an effective mobility strategy in place allows for better empowerment, data sharing and collaboration out in the field. For a field worker the right mobile solution means they are empowered to do their job in the best possible way. Critical information can be accessed and shared in real time both in the field and the office, and the enhanced knowledge and collaboration this brings enables better decision-making and ultimately improved resolution.
Any mobility solution should be easy to use. Overly-complicated systems will be bypassed and worked around or ignored all together. The easier to use, the quicker the adoption and the better the ROI.
All mobility software needs to be agile and able to move with the next generation of mobility. Developments are moving fast and your provider keeping up to speed with these changes is important.
It is crucial for any mobility solution to work across mixed digital devices. The apps will need to work across different operating systems too.
Vitally, mobility is about the anytime, anywhere access to information and it is essential that your solution makes it as easy as possible to achieve this.
Better Mobile Apps Mean Better User Experience
The face of field service has changed. Technicians are the priority, and they need the tools and access to the information that will transform them from corporate overhead to revenue and profit generating brand proponents.
Mobile apps must have capabilities which take the technicians’ role into account, without forgetting the back office. Cloud-based web applications deliver advanced capabilities and must be easy to use and easy to integrate with existing ERP, CRM and accounting systems.
Once implemented, the two-way flow of information means that many tasks can be automated from the field as soon as jobs are completed. The result of the right mobility solution is extending the work of the back office out into the field in a robust and reliable way, connecting the operational workflow and ultimately ensuring service objectives are met.
