Finding the right prescription for your supply chain pain
More and more companies are discovering that delivering exceptional field services is more than merely a means of attaining customer satisfaction and loyalty – it’s also vehicle to drive greater revenue growth and employee satisfaction and retention.
Efficiently and effectively deploying a workforce in the field is a colossal challenge for field service managers – a daily, dizzyingly complex planning puzzle involving multiple moving parts (such as customers, technicians, and equipment) and complicated processes. Labor rules and company policies impose strict constraints on field service operations making this planning puzzle even more challenging.
To meet customer demands and employee requirements, cut costs, and boost bottom line results, field service managers must ensure that the right person, with the right skill set and the right tools and inventory, is always in the right place, at the right time.
