  • The mobile field worker receives the work order and actually completes the job.
• To increase first-time and fix-rate metrics, mobile workers need pertinent information available on their mobile device.

  • Work Orders are integrated with other areas of the business and CRM, including accounts, contacts, assets, cases, entitlements, and service contracts.
  • With the field service app, workers can view customer info, deliver updates, access knowledge articles, and collaborate with product experts on the go.
