Many businesses find field service reporting and management to be a struggle.
The following are some of the major challenges that field service businesses face in reporting:
- Lack of time and resources to report
- Lack of access to the right data
- Inconsistency in reporting across service providers
- Incomplete reporting and writing of reports
- Difficulty in retrieving data from spreadsheets
- Lack of reporting tools designed for field service businesses
- The lack of a centralised platform to collate data
Managing employees who travel and work in the field is even harder. And managing those traveling employees and generating reports to give the board can be a challenging experience. Firms must dedicate vast resources to administration and operational oversight. And they often have to collect data manually, instead of getting their team to report it to them via the cloud.
The Reporting Problem
Problems arise particularly when it comes to reporting in the field, managing work orders, and scheduling teams. Trying to work out who is where and how long it will take them to get from one location to another is a monumental undertaking. Many companies struggle to achieve efficiency in this environment.
Keeping track of how operatives behave in the field, though, is essential. You need to keep tabs on their progress, the value they’re adding, and their timesheet to ensure that you pay them the correct amount. You also need to ensure that you are able to see each technician’s workload so you can balance their needs against those of your clients and customers.
