Written by Columbus | Aug 4, 2020

When it comes to Customer Engagement, it’s really important that your business gets to know its customers and excite them into making a purchase. But how can you do this if your data isn’t synchronised? Lack of cohesion can lead to extra work, less revenue and stress. 

Dynamics 365 Field Service is part of a suite of integrated Customer Engagement applications from Microsoft. It provides innovative capabilities for streamlined customer experience optimisation.

Likewise, it also automates and integrates the right processes using a unified technology stack that makes the right information accessible at every step.

All your data in one place, available to all your teams.

Let's discuss the benefits in more detail...

1. Intelligent planning

  • Provides advanced and unique technology that focuses on connecting with and engaging your customers on multiple channels
  • Service agreements and preventative maintenance automatically schedule your work orders and invoices
  • Integrated IoT delivers constant preventative and proactive measurements, and its machine learning optimises your resource management. Combined, these help you better plan your field engineer schedules, helping you to create the right field service

2. Empowered agents and technicians

  • Optimises resources by automatically dispatching the right technicians to the right jobs and the right time
  • Tracks customer equipment and service history through asset management
