How to Maximize the Benefits of Field Service Management with FReD

by Ranjana Jha Marketing Professional
The load of field service operations can quickly become overwhelming for any size business or team – especially when you have to work on multiple projects at the same time. By using FReD as your mobile field service management software, you can maximize your efficiency and boost your team’s overall productivity. Here are several top tips to consider if this beneficial boost interests you.

Break Away from Ineffective Traditions

To maximize the efficiency of benefits of your field service management experience with FReD, you must first be willing to do away with ineffective traditions that may hinder your progress. For instance, you may still use traditional maps to manage your territories or online maps that are not connected to your field service management software.

With FReD, you should take advantage of the integrated maps that will boost your team’s efficiency and lighten the load of navigation. By using the integrated maps, you can also benefit from the GPS-stamped data reporting which makes it much easier to keep track of your project (and team member) location.

Guide Your Team with Mobile Management

One of the major highlights of using FReD as your field data collection software is the capability of mobile operations. With this cutting-edge software, you are able to boost the efficiency of your workforce by assigning work while you are out in the field. Instead of piling up paperwork and spending countless hours working on assignments and delegation from your desk chair, you can efficiently assign (or reassign) your workforce while you are out in the field.

While inspecting the progress of a project or even addressing a recently emerged issue, you can make the necessary changes right away and alert the corresponding team members all through your mobile field service software.

Modify Access Levels Accordingly

Do not feel the need to provide all-access to your entire team just to keep things simple. As is the case with any business, there are certain things that certain employees just should not be allowed to see or know. An overwhelming amount of information could also serve as a major distraction and rob this tool of its efficiency within your project team. By modifying user profiles and access levels to allow your team members to see only what they need to see, you can boost your team’s productivity and also decrease the duration of a successful transition to the FReD software.

Train Your Team Thoroughly

Another important part of maximizing the benefit of your mobile field service management experience is training and education. You must make sure that you and your team is properly trained on how to use the software in the first place. In addition to basic functions, you should also explore advanced functions that may help your team to improve its performance and overall productivity.

However, avoid overwhelming your team with features and capabilities that have nothing to do with their typical workload. Keep all training as simple as possible to avoid compromising efficiency.
