Updated: Nov 29, 2023

This blog is the third in a series which will give you an overview of the various Salesforce products that we, at ServicePoint Solutions, specialise in. Say ‘hello’ to Field Service Management.


What is Salesforce Field Service Management

Understanding Field Service Management

Many of our customers operate within sectors where their sales and service teams are predominantly mobile, often working directly at client sites. These tasks can range from installing equipment and tracking vehicles to organising and dispatching assignments. This is precisely the scenario where Field Service Management proves invaluable.


1. Centralised Data

When your team is dispersed across various locations and frequently on the go, maintaining a seamless connection is crucial. Field Service Management ensures that your data converges in a single, real-time CRM accessible from any device. This unified platform fosters enhanced communication and collaboration, ensuring every team member has the vital information they need to optimise productivity.


2. Generative AI

AI integration across the Salesforce platform is revolutionising efficiency, empowering businesses to maximise their CRM's potential. Coupling generative AI with real-time data and automation in field service management supercharges your team's efficiency, ensuring optimal performance before, during, and after site visits.


3. Contract Visibility

Field Service Management provides companies with comprehensive insights into their service contracts, guaranteeing total transparency. By leveraging this clarity, your team can optimise scheduling, task assignment, and enhance customer service delivery, accessible from any location and device.


Benefits of Using Field Service Management

In sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and construction, Field Service Management (FSM) is integral to daily operations. Here are the advantages of employing FSM:


1. Connection

Field service teams, often on the move or at client sites, require a robust connection to the office to access the latest information and maintain communication. Field Service Management equips them with live data access via their mobile app. At the beginning of their shift, they can overview their agenda, access essential client details, and peruse their task lists.


2. Automation

Field Service Management streamlines operations through automation. It assists dispatchers in optimising scheduling by suggesting the most apt mobile worker available for a specific task, providing alternatives, or adjusting schedules if a client cancels.


3. Customer Experience

From the customer's perspective, connectivity and control over their experience are vital. With a field service management portal, website, or app, customers can access the information they need in real-time. This includes crucial details like the estimated time of arrival and the identity of the service professional assigned to their task.
