Meeting customer service expectations is the bare minimum.
The field service industry has unique expectations to meet to satisfy customers, but meeting expectations is the bare minimum. In order to generate positive comments and conversations about your field service company, it is important to exceed these service expectations and predict upcoming customer needs. Failure to meet or exceed expectations may result in poor customer reviews and possible loss of customers. It is vital to keep up with customers and foresee what they want in field service jobs. We will cover everything you need to know about universal field service expectations for 2022 and how these can be met and exceeded.
Quick response times
Inquiries about services, urgent or not, need to be translated and communicated with service providers in real-time. Customers expect their service requests to be fulfilled quickly and with visibility on updates. Scheduling and processing work orders manually is a slow method that customers are not likely to accommodate, as services are expected to be processed quickly. A field service management software, such as ServiceEcho, provides the ability to translate and communicate customer requests in real-time and optimize routes and schedules with ease through an app. Updates can be made in real-time within ServiceEcho, allowing field workers to see their jobs and tasks instantly. Visibility and timeliness are essential to managing field service activities and workers.
Enhanced customer experience
Customers are expected to have their needs met, but what echoes with them are enjoyable service experiences. Quick processing and communication between field service workers and customers are essential in enhancing the customer experience. With ServiceEcho’s automated invoicing feature, invoices are drafted much faster and are more transparent to the customer. Providing a transparent invoice that displays all the costs clearly will ensure an enhanced customer experience as it helps build trust and relationships between the service provider and customer.
High service quality
Customers expect high service quality, and there is no doubt about that. High service quality is achieved through:
- optimizing the routes in which field service workers take to different sites
- simplifying administrative tasks and eliminating paperwork, and
- updating other back-office systems such as billing and inventory quickly and accurately.
ServiceEcho achieves these high service quality goals by erasing the manual work involved in the traditional FSM system and allowing real-time updates through our robust solution. When field workers are provided with optimal routes, they are less likely to arrive late to the job site. Our mobile application will give turn by turn directions to their work orders resulting in timely and higher quality service.
Tedious paperwork, manual invoicing, inventory management, and scheduling are inefficient and may result in lower service quality due to their untimely nature. ServiceEcho reduces the time involved in filling out paperwork and other traditional administrative tasks by providing options to upload and update online.
