Field service operations has long been an area of inefficiency due to the reliance on manual methods and work. Now, in the "new normal" in the wake of a global pandemic, a changing workforce and rising competitive pressures, there are new opportunities for improved efficiency and safety in field service operations.
Transitioning from traditional field service operations to smart connected field service operations can deliver significant business value by enabling issues to be identified earlier, solved quicker and often without traveling on-site. This in turn impacts key metrics such as increasing first time fix rate, decreasing mean time to repair, increasing field worker efficiency and utilization, and reducing support costs.
