Business Challenges

These are a few challenges that our client’s used to have to deal with:

Poor Cashflow
  • Reduce the time to receive payment from weeks or months to days.
Errors Causing Bad Debt
  • Incomplete documentation, illegible writing and basic errors cause significant write-downs.
Based On How We work, We Cannot Grow
  • The current way of working causes too much administrative (paper) work, which makes it difficult to grow the business
Payroll is Too High
  • By estimating timesheets, payroll costs increases, while effort could be under billed.

What can Infield do

Our customers have realized the following results by using inField Clipboard.

  • A reduction in time spent in the field completing and managing paper work by approximately 2 hours each week per field worker. If a client has 10 field workers, the administration load on the company is reduced by 20 hours per week!
  • The invoicing process can start immediately once each job is completed, since the administrative staff will receive the completed work order (including client signature and pictures) as soon as the field workers presses save (submit). Invoices can be sent out the same day that work is completed.
  • A reduction in write-downs due to errors from 18% to 6%, since form inputs, from part numbers to pricing, are standardized. A positive impact to our client’s profitability.
  • Increase the capacity (by as much as 40%) to do more business such as increased volume and/or increasing the geography serviced, while not increasing the administrative overhead.
  • Reduce payroll by as much as 20%, by accurately documenting actual effort in the field. Another positive impact to our client’s profitability.
  • Assignment of field resources is accurate and easily reassigned as required. This avoids double booking of people, equipment or vehicles and an accurate tracking of how these resources are being used.  Another positive impact to our client’s revenue and profitability.
According to Gartner:
  • When asked to share what business impact a Field Service Management software had on their business,
    • 71% cited improved technician utilization,
    • 60% cited improved customer satisfaction,
    • 52% dispatcher efficiency and
    • 43% increased service profitability

  • Changes to the scope of work are equally handled by informing all that need to be involved to manage this change and seek the necessary (electronic or manual) approvals (from sales, operations, management and the customer).
