Field Service Challenges

Being dispatched on-site without knowing the context of the issue increases the time needed to complete a field service work order. It can end up taking much longer than estimated, or require follow-up visits. Field service technicians also spend a lot of time documenting the details of the case.

Field service technicians sometimes arrive on-site only to discover that the customer's issue was not what they expected or simple fixes are totally possible. This causes wasted time for both the customer and the technician as the service could've been done remotely.

Field service technicians often rely on text messages or calls to contact customers to get an idea of the problem before arriving on-site. Not only does this limit technicians' ability to understand the issue, but also may cause misdiagnosis as they depend on customers describing the issue correctly.
