Mobile Workforce Solution: m-Service

Mobile service professionals are most likely to be the most costly aspect of the whole service management sector.

Any organisation utilising mobile service staff would need to have in place cost effective and efficient operations on the frontline. The mobile service professional makes many visits to client locations such as preventative maintenance, reactive job, or a site audit as part of a customer contract. All these require a host of operations in order for the visit to be completed such as task allocation, job requirements and job status. Manual control of these operations can prove to be cumbersome and inefficient due to the high quantity of paper work which is produced, typically this mountain of paperwork can take up to a month to be returned to the office for entry into company systems. The paperwork is often Inaccurate due to handwriting, incorrect information from jobs and can lead to typing errors when re-entering into the computer system.

Deploying m-Service eliminates these issues by automating these manual processes and hence reducing the timescales for information turnaround. Organisations using m-Service can raise workforce productivity and utilization which will transform into improved service levels to their customer base by making their operations more efficient and streamlined.
