What is Field Service Automation?
“Field service automation” refers to using technology to automate, streamline, and improve the various processes required to provide field services. These processes commonly include scheduling, dispatch, routing, and rerouting, as well as inventory management, work order management, and communications.
Field service automation aims to increase efficiency, improve customer and employee satisfaction, and reduce costs. This technology can reduce the burden on its existing workforce, improve the accuracy of its recorded field service activities, and increase productivity by automating time-consuming tasks that would otherwise require human management and oversight.
Automation can also be applied to improve how a company manages valuable company resources, streamlining the way a company schedules mobile workers and manages resources and assets. Further, this technology can increase safety and compliance levels for workers out in the field.
Tourmo was the first partner to address our cross-departmental issues and manage our company’s complex workflows in order to deliver accurate and actionable real-time insights to our managers. Their AI Platform’s ability to process tasks and jobs automatically has reduced the ‘burden’ on our leaders and our teams … very impressed with the speed of deployment and ease of use.
