Benefits of Field Service for the Home Services industry

Most small businesses nowadays find themselves in a situation where they use several disparate applications for work and lose a tremendous number of people-hours to merge the data they get from them. 


Some of these tools are used because they’re free, some - because your employees are familiar with them. Everyone understands that it would’ve been great to have a single program for all the processes, but the task seems unbearable, and the system already works, so why change it? We’ll give you several reasons.


  1. Field Service is a cloud-based solution. It requires no downloads or installations - log in, and you’re ready to go. It’s always up to date, and you don’t need to install the latest patch and won’t experience version-related issues.
  2. Completely paperless processes. You won’t need heaps of paper to account for everything because all the data will be in the cloud, ready to access and use. Files in the cloud don’t get lost or duplicated. Employees don’t need to form a line near the printer to submit their information. The work won’t be delayed if your printer runs out of ink or experiences a particularly nasty paper jam.
  3. A user-friendly customizable interface improves efficiency and reduces the training time for new employees. 
  4. Field Service app for iOS and Android make your field agents’ work way easier. They can have all the data on their customer right in their phones, along with the specs on materials required for the job, their prices, the history of previous jobs with the customer, etc. You can even have a custom learning material base to help novice workers through the cases they haven’t encountered before.
  5. Remote assistance and self-service solutions allow you to save your specialists’ hours and reduce fuel expenditures by letting the customers help themselves. All those cases where the issue is minor and will likely take five minutes to deal with, yet the customer doesn’t know what happened. They will eagerly help themselves while being assisted by a professional on a video call and won’t need to mess up their schedule waiting for a service team. 
  6. You can have complete information on every job done, every liter of fuel burnt, and every nail battered into the wall. Analyze your employees’ performance, the quality of supplies, and the reliability of products, all in one system! 


Each of these alone can boost your profits, and if your business transitions from a set of disjointed apps to a modern Field Service management software - you’re going to have all of these advantages!
