Field Service Managers and their technicians need the best tools available to efficiently do their job.
Today calendar based preventive maintenance is being replaced by increasingly sophisticated predictive analytics
and machine to machine monitoring systems, so maintenance is done just in time before a machine of component part
failure based on real time continuous monitoring, usage cycles, and product/component mean time to failure analysis.
Maintaining a detailed product knowledge base and setting up trending and alerting tools can allow you to be proactive
about the equipment in the field. Today, most field service is done under increasingly competitive service level
agreements, so service requests may have to be prioritized by more than just the convenient location of a technician.
A real time performance monitoring tool, such as a
service level analytics dashboard, will be required just to meet
and stay ahead of commitments according to SLA’s.
