The Challenge
With 50+ field technicians servicing equipment across the region, the company struggled with coordination. Technicians often arrived without the right parts or knowledge of equipment history.
- Field technicians had no mobile access to equipment history
- Service scheduling done manually with frequent double-bookings
- Parts inventory visibility limited to phone calls to warehouse
- Customer satisfaction declining due to repeat visits
- No connection between service data and sales opportunities
The Solution
We implemented Salesforce Field Service with a mobile-first approach, giving technicians everything they need to succeed on every call.
- Salesforce Field Service with mobile app for technicians
- AI-powered scheduling optimization for route efficiency
- Real-time parts inventory visibility in the mobile app
- IoT integration for predictive maintenance alerts
- Service-to-sales workflow for upgrade opportunities
The Results
Technicians now arrive prepared. They can see complete equipment history, past service notes, and recommended parts before they even leave for the job. The mobile app works offline, syncing when connectivity returns.
AI-powered scheduling optimizes routes and matches technician skills to job requirements. Emergency calls are automatically routed to the nearest qualified technician with the right parts in their van.
IoT sensors on customer equipment now alert the service team to potential issues before failure. Predictive maintenance has become a new revenue stream and a competitive differentiator.
Service technicians also became a sales channel. When they identify upgrade opportunities in the field, a lead is automatically created and routed to the sales team.
