Case Study 3
By The Custella Team
The Predicament without Field Force Management Tools
So we came across a company that sells and provides air-con services. In a market that covers a large geographical area, they found themselves managing teams of different kinds of maintenance workers, as well as a medium-sized door-to-door sales team. Being a family run business that was passed down generation to generation, their operations consisted of physical files filled with paperwork. But as their clientele and coverage area grew, it became harder to keep track and strategize their sales and service teams. With customer expectations at an all-time high, it was time for a revamp to resolve:
customer data redundancies and reducing search times
repeatedly assigning tasks manually to service teams
inability to be alerted when teams enter or leave high-density locations
sales team have no idea which customers are near their current location
Swapping Paper for Technology
An old hand, Steven Lee, Operations Director, came across Field Force Management Tools and sent in an inquiry to learn more about how its features could address his current work woes. He was pleased to find that technology had a solution for every one of his problems, and would not cost him much time or revenue to implement.
“With the amount of service and sales orders we have handled over the years, I thought updating our current workflow would be a monumental task not worth the trouble. But it was easier to accomplish than expected.”
