Implement the Field Service solution

Many companies already have systems in place to manage their field service, which often creates difficulties when implementing a new field service solution. This software should be set up in such a way that it meets the individual goals and requirements of a company. Employees and managers must learn how to optimally use such software at serviceminder.

First of all, the goals should be determined. Then it is important to find qualified field service managers, to create the basic requirements, to analyze the data and to train the employees.

Individual learning

Most types of field service management software offer certain basic functions, but can also be customized to meet the specific needs of your business. When you have a clear vision of your business challenges, goals, and strategies, you are in an ideal position to decide what features you need and how to implement your software.

Use qualified field service managers

You may already have field service managers who are responsible for specific projects and areas of responsibility. Project managers should also be used to make decisions regarding the implementation of a new FSM software system and to monitor them, to delegate tasks and to coordinate with the software provider. These managers should have an overview of the field service projects and their future goals, keep employees informed, and ensure that everyone involved is adequately trained.

Start small

If you are new to field service CRM, don’t try to familiarize yourself with its most complex aspects right away. Instead, focus on the basic needs of your business first, such as: the planning of repair orders or the timely sending of invoices. Again, you need to be clear about what you want to achieve.

The aim of the field service interface is to shorten the planning time. That is why intelligent planning and the possibilities of automation in data processing are of decisive importance.
