Benefits of Mobile Field Service Management

RedZebra runs on handheld devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, so that your engineers can take it with them wherever they’re on call. Engineers are able to create job reports on the go, recording actions taken during jobs and assigning them to a particular customer and site location.

Designed for your engineers when they’re out in the field, our field service engineer software is packed full of features to make they’re job easier.

AND most importantly,

  • Engineers can work offline
  • Greater efficiency
Online or Offline

Some places still struggle to get an internet connection, which can cause all sorts of communication issues in the field. It’s good to know that RedZebra software works on all mobile platforms and devices, including IOS and Android. It even works offline, which means your engineers can use the app in out-of-the-way places with limited or no connectivity.

Location Tracking

You can’t allocate tasks efficiently when you don’t know exactly where your field service agents are located. The location tracking offered by a great field service scheduling app lets you allocate tasks very efficiently, minimising the travel time between jobs and allowing your engineers to arrive at the customer’s site more quickly. This kind of highly efficient route planning saves time and expense as well as delivering brilliant service. It’s also easier to allocate jobs to the field personnel who have the most relevant skills and experience.

Field Reporting

There’s nothing quite so efficient and error-free as letting field personnel log and record details of the service calls they’ve handled in real time. It’s so much easier than waiting until they get back to the office before they can complete the details. It saves on administration costs as well as delivering yet another way to reduce the risk of errors and omissions.

Multiple engineers

RedZebra Mobile means you can assign jobs to any of your engineers at any time, allowing you to use different engineers for on-going problems.
