SBS for Field Services

Field services have a difficult job. Each time they enter the field their effectiveness directly impacts customer satisfaction, company reputation, and cost of service. Although both the company and the customer want a “one visit and done” approach, it’s virtually impossible for them to prepare for the myriad of rapidly changing customer variables they face each and every day – different products and models, options, versions, and customer configurations to name a few. 

Using Participate, field services can greatly benefit from a social business software environment by connecting them to the know-how, best practices, answers, and expertise they need to successfully complete their tasks, improve service, speed business, improve morale, and reduce escalations. 

With Participate, field service organizations can:

• Quickly gather information, get answers and access expertise required to successfully address issues.
  
• Accelerate the rate at which new knowledge is available to all field service personnel.
  
• Participate in the community and access know-how even from wireless and mobile devices.
  
• Identify and establish a dialogue around new problems.
  
• Collectively build a portfolio of best practices.
  
• Maintain a collective memory on each issue and resolution.
  
• Benefit from a rich source of information – continuously gather and analyze the conversations and insights of your field services team to expose new issues faster, and proactively prepare them for future engagements.
