Salesforce Field Service lightning integrated with your finance system such as Microsoft Dynamics can revolutionize the way you manage service to deliver a faster, smarter, more personalized customer experience from end-to-end.

Managing field service, in particular, presents unique challenges that require a complete customer view to resolve. Siloed teams out in the field, poor resource allocation, lack of mobile support, and lack of integration with CRM all contribute to the difficulty level of managing field service operations.

Many companies are using multiple tools and solutions to try to address the challenges of field service management. According to Field Service News, 77% of companies are still using an on-premises field service solution. As a result, leaders lack visibility across all customer touch points and insights, which is crucial in developing the panoramic customer view that modern businesses need.

Write Assets back to Salesforce

It’s also commonly seen that you want to keep track of assets or devices on the client side, and specific information you need related to assets can be written back from the invoice carrying e.g. serial number, items number etc.

Disconnected customer service experience can result in slower case resolution

Without the right customer insights, the results are potentially disastrous — a disconnected customer service experience can result in slower case resolution, customers needing to call back because a first service call didn’t result in the right answer, and customer churn. According to the Aberdeen Group, the number one reason for return visits from field technicians is a lack of customer information, which comes at a cost of $200–$300 per visit.

With agents, dispatchers, and mobile employees all connected on one platform, operations can be streamlined across the entire service chain, and the customer experience can be more connected than ever.

Every service experience is made up of a series of moments, and each moment is an opportunity to exceed expectations and build a closer, more connected experience with the customer. By eliminating friction and frustration for both employees and customers from moment to moment, you’re well on your way to developing a more personalized, predictive customer experience.
