Field Service Management for Industrial Equipment & Manufacturing Companies

The Industrial equipment and machine manufacturing companies manufacture and service a wide variety of mission-critical, high value assets. The equipment typically worth millions of dollars is the backbone of these companies and cannot afford to have any downtime. If this equipment breaks down or malfunctions, productivity drops, costs rise, and reputations suffer; with the potential of significant revenue loss. This makes it crucial for the Industrial equipment and machine manufacturing companies to deliver phenomenal service and ensure 100% availability of the equipment.

 

Business Challenge:

Traditionally, reactive Field Service Management (FSM) has been the default service organization approach to delivering good customer service. Simply put, this approach involves responding to problems as they arise, and focusing on getting the job done. For field service organizations today, success no longer revolves only around “getting the job done”. These companies need to address any repair issue with speed and effectiveness, hence, adopt a proactive approach. Increasingly, executive management expects the service organization to also generate significant revenue through low cost fulfilment of contracts.
