Field Service Practices –
Made easy with Mobile

Need of Smart Mobility

 When competition is fierce and intense, companies have to focus on
providing consistent and high quality services day in and day out. As a
competitive company in your industry, one is expected to avoiding
potential service level problems. But to thwart the competition, paying
attention to steady customer service will not do the trick. It has become
important for organizations to deliver superior services. But
understanding and realizing the constant need to change as per the
volatile market isn't always apparent, and missing out on a critical
opportunity might mean stagnation instead of success.

It is important for medium-sized businesses prevalent within the field
service industry to centre on mobile workers, who need to be constantly
connected to live operations and the customers. Their service levels matter in the end since that guarantees repeat
business or referrals to boost the overall business.

It is evident that enterprises today have started their current methods of managing, scheduling and communicating
with the field staff since the ideal and personalized technological solutions become apparent. Filling the service level
gaps will differentiate a company from its immediate competitors and set them firm on the path to success.

There are three important service level changes that need to be implemented at the base level

   Implementation of real-time inventory status to build an image of high product quality and a strong reputation
   as a service provider
   Planned maintenance and self-diagnostics for maximum uptime
   Core service practices which enable customer satisfaction




                                      The Mobile App Imperative

        The smart phone market growth – Compound Annual Growth Rate of 37% — IDC Report.
        60% midsized organizations - support mobile devices; 75% out of them - support wireless mobile PCs.
        Mobile workers - 40% of their time away from their desk
        Mobile workers constitute 27.3% of workforce.
        75% of US businesses - use of one wireless data application
        80% organizations with deployed mobile applications - Results met or exceeded expectations
Field Service Connectivity with Mobility

Scheduling is crucial for the mobile workforce and an extremely important tenet which can help us build a strong
mobile strategy. Field service organizations thrive on mobility and hence inseparable. Not many organizations have a
clear smart mobility strategy while where there is a huge a gap between how technology has trashed out in recent
years and how effective it has served enterprises to meet their business goals.

Mobile phones have given a way to smart phones which allowed instant access to richness of information through
simple search.

Mobile devices in enterprises are now primarily used for:

   Accessibility and real-time communications between the mobile workers, the inventory officers and the customers
   through any medium
   Quick access to the internet
   Route planning using maps and GPS navigation


The biggest issue with the field service functions and mobility in most companies is that the mobile devices are not
integrated with the main company systems. There is a need of manual entry and analysis of data which is a total
error-prone idea.


Smartphone Usage of Field Service Professionals

   Social Media for Work Purposes
   Information Management
   Web Conferencing
   Route planning for Sales via GPS
   Use of Integrated Enterprise Apps
   Mobile Email
   Sale Inventory Assessment
   Sales/ Service Reporting


                      Mobile Apps and their Usage in the Enterprise

        Customers - to place orders, track existing orders, make payments or view promotions
        Managers and Executives - to deliver information, including KPIs, dashboards, financial data and results,
        and compliance
        Sales people - for order processing, inventory, price verification, customer profiling and CRM
        Plant personnel - for order picking, inventory tracking, supplier relationship management and goods
        receipts
        Field Service team - for work recording, service execution, contract reference and route and travel planning
Leveraging Mobile Apps for Field Service


                  Automation                                            Visibility
    Use of automated solutions to cut down on           Communication and visibility of issues in
    manual processes                                    routine operations
    Schedule optimization technology considering        Integration of field resources back into the
    strategic and operational constraints               company
