Modern platforms include powerful features that encompass all functions involved in field operations. These functions include time and attendance monitoring, payroll, field data collection, employee safety monitoring and escalation, compliance monitoring for regulatory requirements, customized business rules and exception reporting, integration with back-office systems and more.
Every business has its own unique way of doing things, and the same is true with field operations. One of the most important traits of a good field service automation software is its ability to be customized to fit in with your unique business style.
FSA is all about automating field operations, and here are some of the key high-level features:
– Work order and job scheduling
– Integrated time and attendance monitoring
– Field data collection, including
- Custom forms
- Signature
- Photo capture
- QR and Barcode scans
– Location and Geofencing
– Business logic and rule engine to monitor exception
– Safety monitoring
– Integration with back-office CRM, HRMS, and payroll systems
With features that cover the entire field service workflow, all the day-to-day tasks can simply get automated: the back-office operations team assigns jobs to the field technicians directly via the scheduling, planning and work order system. Once the job assignments are dispatched to employees, the FSA system starts monitoring attendance and reports any exceptions and delays to back office for contingencies.
Meanwhile, the field technicians collect data from the field via the mobile app and make the data available to other teams instantly. Finally, all the data gets pushed to respective back-office systems such as CRM, accounting and payroll making the entire process seamless.
