Key Features of Field Service

Intelligent Scheduling

With built-in artificial intelligence, the system automatically assigns the right resource at the right time, taking into account skills, availability, distance, and priority.

Mobile App for Technicians

Technicians have real-time access to all essential information through a mobile application — including job details, customer history, checklists, photos, and electronic signatures. Each intervention is fully documented on-site and synced instantly.

ERP and CRM Integration

Field Service seamlessly integrates with Dynamics 365 Business Central to synchronize billing, contracts, inventory, and spare parts, and with Dynamics 365 CRM for complete, end-to-end customer relationship management.

Preventive Maintenance and IoT

Prevent equipment failures by leveraging connected sensors and AI-driven predictive maintenance. The system can automatically schedule interventions before a breakdown occurs, minimizing downtime and service disruption.

Customer Portal and Satisfaction

Your customers can track the progress of their requests, receive real-time notifications, and rate completed interventions — a valuable feature for building customer loyalty.
