Best-of-Breed Field Service Software
Why the tool you choose makes all the difference
Not all tools are created equal. And when solutions claim to do everything, they often leave crucial gaps in the functionality organizations and users need most.
Could you hammer a nail with a screwdriver? Sure, but why would you. That’s what hammers are for. So, when organizations tell you their “screwdriver” is great for X, Y and Z, alarms should go off.
The following arms you with the know-how to leverage the right tool for the job, every time. We explain:
- How the field service industry has evolved
- Where one-size-fits-all tools fall short
- Why purpose-built, best-of-breed solutions provide organizations with the best return on investment (ROI)
Whiteboards and Excel documents give way
The days of simply assigning workloads and tracking projects on a company whiteboard are no longer viable. Neither are maintaining master spreadsheets and circulating copies via email.
Customers and contractors expect work to happen fast, and they can no longer sit idly by with these antiquated forms of communication and collaboration. As a result, modern organizations are now looking for technology tools to streamline all facets of work, so everyone remains educated on a project without maintaining Excel documents or requiring onsite visits to offices to review whiteboards.
These “nice to have” tools are quickly becoming must have, and several organizations have thrown their hat into the technology ring for field services.
One tool for everything doesn’t work
As organizations conduct their research and compare solutions, a common misconception is to select a tool that claims it can do it all. These “buffet” solutions tout functionality for everything from inventory management to purchasing to scheduling to you name it. Simply being able to check a box isn’t enough in today’s field service industry. Each feature must perform what it says it will and do it exceptionally well.
When tools spread themselves too thin by trying to do everything, there is going to be glaring vulnerabilities and lack of capabilities across the entire solution. It’s a challenge to do everything and do it well.
Case in point: Payless offers a variety of different types of shoes and checks a lot of boxes. But if you’re looking for shoes that will last and hold their value after many uses, you’re going to want to look elsewhere. And this is how organizations should view their field service tools. Leverage a best-of-breed solution and let it do exactly what it was designed to do.
