FAQs

What is field service management?
Field Service Management (FSM) is the organization and optimization of employees and tasks that occur “in the field” or away from your organization’s headquarters. Many types of companies implement FSM practices, from services to manufacturing, installation and utility services. Field Service Management is growing as many industries provide mission critical services in the field.
What are some common field service activities?

One of the exciting yet challenging aspects of successful Field Service Management is that every company and industry has unique needs and specifications when defining FSM, so it is important to have a highly flexible platform.

Traditional field services that have led to the creation of modern FSM solutions were carried out by utility, HVAC, water, and telecommunication industry professionals. These industries have historically dispatched technicians or other staff members to remote locations, such as businesses and residences. Work would either be completed at these locations, meters would be read, or tasks would be accomplished remotely.

Many of these duties involve accurate asset and equipment tracking and maintenance. Much of field service is customer-facing, and since work is performed remotely, mobile workforce management is a keystone of FSM.

What are some common field service management issues? 
  • Meeting Customer Expectations: Customers have high expectations for service today. Utility customers expect service without disruption, and customers getting services done at their homes want to know when and what to expect from onsite workers. Fast, efficient solutions are required.

  • Inefficient Manual Dispatch: Manually dispatching field workers causes inherent inefficiencies and is time-consuming. Errors and underutilized employees and assets often occur.

  • Sales Generation: Services are a vital driver of sales. FSM can help improve customer satisfaction and increase sales of related services.

  • Employee Management: Managers struggle to monitor and communicate with field employees

  • Safety: The safety of mobile employees at remote sites or on the road is vital.

  • Outdated Data and Analytics Technology: Antiquated data collection methods and underutilized or nonexistent analytics decrease efficiency and inhibit potential growth.

  • High Costs: Fluctuating fuel, raw materials, equipment, and other costs can be difficult and expensive to monitor and minimize.

  • Unused or Underutilized Assets: Even when not used, industrial equipment is expensive to maintain. Many companies don’t even have a record of their complete asset inventory.

  • Unpredictability: Juggling customer service, mobile workforce management, and operation optimization is a considerable challenge and makes standardization difficult.

What is field service management software?

Pen and paper data collection and record-keeping was once the best method for monitoring and optimizing field services. However, with the increased demand for field services across industries, managers and decision-makers seek more modern solutions. Even with digital technology, data becomes siloed and difficult or impossible to access and utilize without the correct technology.

Field Service Management software incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to remove data silos and integrate data into a single platform that can automate and optimize field service tasks across the entire workforce, regardless of proximity to company headquarters. FSM software connects employees and managers to vital, up-to-date information and data. A mobile workforce optimized through an integrated FSM solution increases overall efficiency and customer service, leading to improved practices and business growth.

With smartphones, tablets, and laptops, mobile workforce management is easier to implement than ever before. When technicians have instant access to data through their mobile devices, field services are improved through instant access to company data like service history, customer information, and real-time updates—leading to increased customer loyalty, satisfaction, and sales.

AI-enabled technology can automate route scheduling, optimization, and technician selection based on customer needs. This can make dispatch instantaneous upon work order submission and ensures that the closest and most qualified professional is connected to the correct customer. Increased dispatch efficiency and route optimization save labor, time, and money and are invaluable perks of FSM software.

What are some must-haves when considering field service management software?

Field Service Management software should be cloud-based and tailored to integrate with your existing systems. FSM software must be accessible at any time and location for real-time data updates.

For example, KloudGin’s Field Service Suite enables mobile scheduling and management of all work streams. It incorporates work orders, resources, vehicles, communications, customers, and collaboration into a single configurable business process.

Leveraging automation and machine learning, KloudGin’s Field Service Suite optimizes field service jobs’ prioritization, scheduling, routing, and completion.

Does my business need field service management or mobile workforce management software?

While advanced field service management solutions like KloudGin’s Field Service Suite combine mobile workforce management capability into field service management software, not every business involved in field services may benefit from this technology. Some smaller companies would be better suited for an independent mobile workforce management or basic scheduling solution. These solutions focus on employee-management relations and communication; primarily basic scheduling and productivity.

Field Service Management combines mobile workforce management’s improved communication abilities with optimizing billing, work order instructions, manuals and capturing real time field data, along with asset and equipment management, maintenance, and visibility, ensuring quick repairs or procurement whenever necessary. FSM software helps coordinate better deployment and management of your field workers and equipment.
