Agresso Field Force

Field Force delivers mobile field service and asset maintenance capabilities in one solution to meet the needs of asset maintenance, inventory management, contract management, resource allocation, regulatory reporting, time/billing invoicing, and mobile workforce communication. Field Force enables field service/asset maintenance organizations to manage projects that require ongoing maintenance in a streamlined and transparent way to fulfill high volume, small service order activities.

Field Force provides a consolidated and centralized view of the entire service order process. Call center staff and field workers can view, take action and provide real-time updates based on the same set of information. Customers who demand top quality service immediately see the benefits via quicker response times and an increased level of service.

As with all service-centric organizations, the management and efficient use of resources is critical. There are many typical problems organizations can overcome by using Field Force.

• Eliminate delays in finding resources closest to a service need
• Increase visibility into the ctivities and locations of mobile workers
• Decrease missed productivity opportunities because the mobile workforce is cut-off from access to office-based computer applications

Field Force’s mobile integration capabilities translate into faster invoicing cycles and problem resolution. Mobile field workers are able to accurately account for tasks performed and materials used, update inventory and close the invoice-cycle in real-time while on-the-job.

The Field Force module is a fully integrated part of the Agresso ERP solution suite which provides the ability to view, analyze and report on the entire business operations surrounding Field Service and Asset Maintenance.
