Job Management Apps have revolutionised the field service industry. They empower your technicians by giving them access to information on the go. They can stay connected, organised and productive wherever they are.
But with so many options available, choosing the right mobile app can be challenging. Mobile technology can be a valuable productivity tool. But if it doesn't meet your needs, it can be a stumbling block.
How can you determine if a Job Management App is right for your business? Follow our comprehensive guide, compiled to make the process easier for you.
How mobile field service technology empowers technicians
- Mobile field service technology gives your team the tools and resources to stay organised and productive. Here's how:
- Real-time access to information: Instead of waiting, your team can access job details online. Remote accessibility keeps your team on track to meet deadlines.
- Reduced paperwork: Carrying paperwork to job sites can become unmanageable. Your technicians may misplace documents or forget paperwork at the office, delaying their work. But with mobile technology, they can access digital copies from their mobile devices.
- Performance tracking and analytics: A mobile app can track every technician's performance. You can use the data collected to identify areas of improvement and set goals for skills development. Tracking performance can keep technicians motivated, especially if you reward their progress.
Finding the best solution for your business
- To ensure you choose the best Job Management App for your business, consider the following:
Your team's location
- If they work in areas with limited internet access, choose an app with offline capabilities. Your team will be able to upload data and access information, and sync changes made when they're online again.
How much data they capture on-site
- Do your technicians collect data on-site? Choose a system that allows them to capture information with digital questionnaires. Instead of filling in paper forms, they can capture data with their mobile devices.
Where they spend most of their time
- If your technicians spend most of their time in the field, choose a system with mobile quotes and payments. These features will allow them to send quotes and accept payments on-site. Managing quotes and payments in the field will save your team time and help you get paid faster.
The services you offer
- Do your employees install and maintain assets like solar panels, heat pumps, air conditioners or EV charging points? Then you need a solution with an asset management system. You can use it to track each system or machine your team installs and schedule maintenance work. Your technicians can also view appointments assigned to them, eliminating the need for appointment books.
Your clients' expectations
- Consider your customers' expectations. If they expect regular updates, choose a mobile app that allows your workers to upload photos of their work. You can review any work done and update customers while your team is on the job.
Where you spend most of your time
- Consider where you spend most of your time as a business owner or supervisor. If you can't always be on-site, choose an app that gives you real-time access to your team's progress. Most mobile solutions use tracking to show you where your technicians are, what jobs they're working on and the status of each job in real-time.
