Intelligent scheduling and dispatching

The software schedules the correct field agents by considering different parameters including the availability, location, skill, certification, and parts availability to ensure the job gets completed on the first visit. It also gives technicians the option of signing up for their appointments. Technicians will only see the jobs that are available and appropriate for them once there are rules set.

FSM Grid supports bulk scheduling technicians to lower any booking-to-job lags. It automatically places the right people to the past 30 days of booked appointments. The platform’s Dispatch Optimization considers what’s suitable for all parties: the customers, technicians, and the organization. Customers can choose appointment times, technicians work within their schedules, and technician distance to service is taken into account. FSM Grid selects the closest technician to lower travel costs.

Mobile application

The solution’s hybrid mobile application offers real-time access to critical data including appointments scheduled for the day, location, turn by turn directions, customer information, part requirement, forms, step-by-step guide, and availability. This information increases the productivity of the field workforce and cuts down the job execution time.

IoT-enabled predictive maintenance

With IoT Sensors, the software creates the work order and sends the right field staff to the equipment location. It eliminates equipment downtime, saves costs on parts replacement, and extends equipment lifetime. Technicians can schedule customer equipment preventive maintenance activities with pre-planned dates.

The solution’s interoperable monitoring includes Al enhancements, predictive analytics, and alert-triggered automation. FSM Grid predicts downturns, detects issues, and diagnoses actively.

Multi-vendor management

FSM Grid treats each vendor separately through configurable license settings and by assigning a maximum number of users to a company. It uses a role matrix to precisely lay out each vendor’s roles and maps technicians and customers to multiple vendors. FSM Grid’s vendor login gives them direct network access to the appropriate level, allowing them to perform necessary business activities while maintaining organizational security.
