Field service solutions can convert field engineers into sales reps – transforming costs into profit

Field services: making the shift from cost to profit center

Field services are services – installation, (preventive) maintenance, repair and others – carried out 'in the field', i.e. at the customer’s premises.

Customer centricity is the key to winning in the market these days. This implies much more than delivering high-quality products or solutions; customers expect superior service, too. By ensuring better and faster field services, you are sure to spur customer delight, boost efficiency, cut costs and even increase revenue or win new business. The right processes and solutions can help you make your services run like clockwork.

By transforming your field service operations through fresh thinking and innovative technology, you will reduce costs and differentiate your brand.

Five reasons to invest in first-class field services


The days when field service personnel tasked with installing, maintaining or repairing equipment at a customer site only carried a phone, paper and the tools/spare parts they needed are over. More and more companies understand the need to empower their people with solutions that help streamline workflows both in the field and at the office. Here’s why:    

  • Raise productivity and efficiency

Smart solutions help your planners in the office schedule field tasks efficiently, while assisting your field team in reaching the customer site quickly and finishing their tasks quickly and successfully. 

  • Save costs and boost profits

Efficient scheduling, first-time fixes, clear insights into warranty and SLAs and prompt, correct billing help you save costs. Even more, service, when done well, can be a huge profit center.

  • Delight your customers

Your reputation for fast, efficient and high-quality field services – and all things related, such as invoicing – is a guarantee for happy, loyal and even more customers.

  • Strengthen your brand reputation

World-class field services will not only affect initial product purchases; it will also impact the value of your brand and keep customers coming back again and again.

  • Win new business

If handled well, field services can evolve from reactive to preventive and even predictive maintenance. Alternately, your field service people – who know the customer better than anyone – can become sales reps or consultants.
