ServiceMax and Salesforce have joined forces to deliver an unparalleled solution that drives operational efficiency with a 360-degree view of assets on the world’s #1 CRM platform.
Faced with a new reality and the relentless march of digitization, companies across all industries are reimagining how they operate. Requirements for equipment performance have intensified while customer expectations of service continue to rise. To thrive, service organizations must advance beyond the standard break-fix model to ensure uptime, profitable growth, and customer satisfaction.
Our Asset 360 solution delivers complete visibility into your service operation, allowing you to maximize equipment uptime, reduce costs, and adopt outcome-based service models. Natively built on Salesforce, Asset 360 enables service organizations to:
Optimised orders. Lower costs. Faster service and field service planning.
The unique POWEROPT algorithm, together with our deployment and route planning software FLS VISITOUR, enables the intelligent optimisation of schedules and resources in real time. For more flexibility, planning ability, and enormous cost savings.
Increasingly our engineers are the single most valuable asset within our business. They are often now one of the few face to face customer touch-points we have. They solve our customers' problems, they build customer engagement and they are the glue that drives customer loyalty. It is little wonder that tech utilisation is a core KPI for most field service companies and dynamic scheduling is vital technology for driving this metric. In this area FLS is widely regarded as best-in-class technology.

Monitor your assets and optimise your workforce with real time predictive maintenance software
Today, maintenance repairs can be expensive and time consuming, therefore it’s important to put processes in place in order to minimise and prevent them. Predictive Maintenance Software uses condition monitoring tools to monitor the performance and condition of equipment and determine when maintenance should be performed. The software predicts possible defects and estimates when they require fixing before a likely failure. As part of an organisations’ maintenance strategy, predictive maintenance differs from preventative maintenance whereby routine repairs and maintenance are scheduled to take place.
Combined with the Internet of Things (IoT), predictive maintenance software evaluates the performance of an asset providing information in real time. This information is provided through capturing data from IoT enabled sensors. This data is then analysed and actioned to prevent failures occurring. Predictive maintenance sensors include monitoring equipment which can detect a variety of things such as vibrations, temperature or humidity.
With sessions running throughout both days featuring leading industry professionals and insightful presentations from the leading solutions providers serving our sector the solutions theatre offers an incredible two-day program of education in our sector and is completely free to attend for all field service management professionals
In this opening panel discussion we will be looking at how the field service sector has changed since the pandemic and exploring what should be the burning areas of focus for field service companies as we find our way forwards in the post-pandemic world.
Discover how you can improve your service triage through enhanced Artificial Intelligence tools and how this can help you drive greater operational efficiencies and improved customer satisfaction as Aquant take us through a case study outlining how their AI powered tools are revolutionising service for their customers.
Field service is going through major transformation and more than ever in the past the need to have robust technological infrastructure is key to delivering effective service consistently. Join this session to understand what that looks like from six times Gartner magic quadrant leader IFS.
We have clearly entered a new era of next generation FSM solutions with tools like AI, AR and GIS all being embedded natively within cutting edge systems.
However, field service operations are a) mission-critical and b) reliant on the technologies that support them – so when is the best time to make the move from a legacy system to a next-gen solution and what should that look like.
Having helped a number of companies transition from a legacy systems to their own next-gen platform, OverIT are perfectly placed to answer some of these questions in this session.
It has been a long-time coming and is a challenge that we have been all too aware of for some time, yet still we have yet to find an effective solution to the ageing-workforce crisis across our sector. But do the solutions lie in technology, better recruitment or better development programs or a mix of all three?
Two of the biggest talking points in our industry are servitization and digital transformation – but how closely are these aligned? Is the former dependent on the latter? Is the latter driven by the former? HSO who have created Dynamics for Advanced Service as a tool to align the two look at the relationship between these two pillars of field service operations in the new normal.
The field service company that can reduce and minimize any additional delays in the final mile of the service journey will see improvements in a number of key metrics used within field service operations, including improved engineer or technician utilisations, higher customer satisfaction rates and reduced fuel costs.
The latter of these is becoming increasingly more important factor in why field service companies need to embrace solutions that can improve last mile logistics. While cost savings are always sought within any business, reducing unnecessary inner-city delays in 2022 is more important than ever before.
In this presentation BT Final Mile solutions outline the urgent case for more effective final-mile logistics.
While much of the challenges that field service companies share are universal across industries, having a detailed knowledge of the verticals that you operate within are highly important. In this presentation from Totalmobile we find out what this means both to them as a company and also their customers.
Servitization has increasingly become an important part of our industry with many organisations now having at least some element of advanced services within their portfolio. However, should we view servitization as a progressive journey that we should be ‘evolving’ our service operations towards or more of a spectrum that encompasses customer success right through to outcome-based services? In this panel discussion we shall explore this question in full.
Since the lockdowns the concept of remote service has become widely accepted by the customer base of field service companies. However, while many field service organisations may have embraced remote service and introduced it into their service portfolio, still how to define remote service alongisde on-site service delivery remains an important question.
Does remote service become the default go to for all service and maintenance as a tier-1 level of support with on-site service being the escalation option and tier 2 service?
How do we view our remote-service engineers and our on-site engineers? Who should have the greater technical skill?
From a practical viewpoint, how do we align the systems so data flow from remote to onsite job-orders remains easily accessible?
We will tackle these and more in this opening panel discussion of day 2.
Asset data is now firmly established as a fundamental pillar of field service operations. Yet, all too often field service companies still find themselves drowning in the huge amounts of data they are creating.
ServiceMax have been at the forefront of helping their customers better leverage the massive potential of their asset data and translate this into meaningful and actionable insight and in this presentation they will outline their solution and approach to maximising asset data.
It can be complicated to manage your deskless workforce, but your employees and customers don’t need to know that. The Deskless Productivity Cloud from Skedulo enables any company in any industry to schedule, manage, engage, and analyze their mobile workforce and in this demonstration they walk you through how.
Effective scheduling has always been an important aspect of field service operations, however, in today’s business environment, having the most optimised scheduling routes is no longer a nice to have it is essential. Fuel prices are rising, final mile congestion is growing and customers expectations have been raised into the stratosphere by the likes of Uber and Amazon.
Having been at the vanguard of best-in-class technology in the dynamic scheduling space FAST LEAN SMART – FLS are perfectly positioned to help us better understand these challenges and outline how their own AI powered scheduling tools are helping their customers overcome them.
Field service is changing so rapidly we cannot afford to rest on our laurels and expect what has always worked to continue to work. With this in mind we must take stock of what skill-sets and attributes we should seek amongst the new field service engineers of the future. In this panel discussion we will try to identify what persona of the field service engineers and technicians of the new normal look like.
Like many companies with a broad and expanding toolset BigChange faced a problem. How could they show their customers the breadth of their software capability when there are an extraordinary number of features and possibilities to consider?
Having launched a series of webinars under the umbrella of BigChange University they realised the huge appetite for this type of educational content from their users and have expanded their educational offering into a massive resource, packed with online videos and tutorials that customers can access whenever and wherever they want.
In doing so BigChange have pointed a way forward in terms of driving customer success that many of their customers can benefit from in using the tools but also learn from in terms of creating a loyal and longstanding customer base and in this presentation they’ll guide us through the process they followed.
Digitalisation is at the heart of modern day efficiency in field service operations. Yet, all too often digitalisation can be ill-thought out and doesn’t take full advantage of the new ways of working that we have available in the digital world that were not available to us previously. In this presentation Inotware will give us their key tips on how to make digitalisation effective and seamless.
As we bring the Solutions Theatre to a close our panelists will each reflect on the one thing they think it is imperative that field service leaders that have joined us at FSN Live 2022 should take away with them.
This final panel is an essential session to attend as it will give you a cheat sheet of ideas to consider for improving your service operations and how you can build an effective plan within your own organisation when you return to HQ.
