Introduction
A leading field service provider that supports various industry verticals, specializing in on-site repair and maintenance catering to their clientele that includes teams of field service technicians, regional managers, administrators, field service managers, and IT field support specialists.
Challenges
After the pain points were discussed with the managers and admins, our team identified the main challenges of the client. Limited or ineffective communication channels led to delays, misunderstandings, and coordination difficulties among technicians, dispatchers, and managers. The lack of offline access to see essential job details or data and also report submission capabilities hindered productivity and the paperless workflow, particularly in areas with poor network connectivity. They required features in the field service mobile app promoting technician safety, real-time hazard reporting, and adherence to safety standards.
What We Did
