Key Features of NetSuite Field Management
- Scheduling and Dispatch- Increase productivity by allocating work to the appropriate technicians based on their location and skill set, or based on the equipment that needs to be serviced, using a drag-and-drop scheduling board. Find out the current status of each work. Create service orders quickly and easily using projects, sales orders, NetSuite cases, or customer assets. Â
- Phone App- Give field technicians the ability to use their preferred device to obtain all the information they require, whenever they need it, so they can stop calling the office to get the information they’re missing. By giving comprehensive task facts, such as the location, asset history, service, and history, as well as any safety concerns, the time to repair can be improved. Easily and swiftly record and submit expenses while on the go, manage the inventory of parts, and get pictures and signatures.Â
- Asset Management: Oversee the installation, commissioning, decommissioning, and sale of your client’s assets. Keep tabs on and oversee asset expenses at every turn, and enjoy complete transparency over asset classification, past utilization, and upkeep. Set up preventative maintenance appointments, automate warranties, and examine asset data for labour use, failure rate, and other factors.Â
- Inventory Control-Â Maintain an eye on your van and truck stock levels to make sure you have the tools and parts needed to meet customer service demands, increase first-time fix rates, and get rid of secondary truck rolls. Using the mobile app, inventory may be updated while being used and observed in the field. Maintaining fully supplied maintenance tool kits is made possible by automated inventory management, and inventory leakage and write-offs resulting from misplaced or absent components are decreased by automated tracking.Â
- Billing:Â Connect fieldwork to sales orders and NetSuite invoicing. In order to ensure precise billing and fewer errors, automatically generate invoices based on work completed and inventory consumed in real time. For recurring tasks, automate payments and invoicing.Â
- Analytics and Reporting:Â Learn about field services to help you make smarter decisions and increase sales. By using integrated data from a single system, you can evaluate changes against key performance metrics and understand the profitability of each work and its associated costs.Â
