Field Services Management Software
CitySoft offers both best in market FSM products for growing and mature businesses and small to medium-sized enterprises and best of suite FSM software.
Technological advancements are playing a major role in changing how companies manage their field services teams. From enhanced mobility to improved scheduling of resources, often driven by IoT and use of smart devices, modern Field services management (FSM) software is now leading the way in adoption of modern technologies.
Technologies including AI driven support recommendations (Predictive services) & connected device (IoT) are seamlessly providing technical field services enterprises with device status, usage and warnings. These technologies are helping FSM teams deliver clients’ more timely service. Equipped with service history and knowledge base data, these technologies support assignment of the most appropriate service technician(s), whilst also predicting what spare parts and consumables are likely to be required to resolve the likely cause of any equipment issue. Importantly these services can be supplied based on predictive information mitigating or minimizing equipment damage, down time and disruption to the clients’ business.
Augmented reality is one further technology that is changing the way FSM services are supplied. Augmented Reality is helping companies execute work orders via the supply of remote assistance, remote controlling the display of real-time data. The creators of best of breed FSM systems including SAP are incorporating these technologies into their core systems and or engaging with developers from their extended ERP ecosystem.
A connected supply chain is providing modern businesses with the ability to reduce in-house asset service and maintenance costs whilst reducing asset master data creation and service provider efforts & costs. Companies are benefiting from a virtual, real-time representation of their assets – in essence a digital twin. This allows all partners to collaborate in real time and provides remote monitoring and diagnostics with access to benchmarking behavior. For manufacturers this results in optimization of production and reduced downtime. (Source SAP Performance Benchmarking). Service providers are better positioned to provide proactive advice and services to their clients under this connected supply chain model.
According to SAP in their SAP Industries White Paper | Industrial Machinery and Components, Innovative IM&C companies provide the machines and equipment bundled with services and consumables and charge for the outcome. With that transformation, they generate new business, increase market share, accelerate new technologies and products, deliver more product-use insights, and create a more sustainable revenue stream. Pay for outcome (PfO) is attractive for customers who intend to shift CAPEX to OPEX, share business risk, or try new technologies with lower risks, adjust production capacity flexibly, and have a more attractive balance sheet.
