MICROSOFT DYNAMICS 365 FOR FIELD SERVICE
Increase customer satisfaction with intelligent scheduling, native mobile support, and remote asset monitoring to help you get the job done right the first time.
Master the service call
Optimise your scheduling – automatically optimise schedules, reallocate resources quickly during escalations, improve first-time fix rates, and simplify dispatching for field service companies.
Equip your mobile workforce – provide real-time customer insights and guidance, use barcode and RFID readers, and process work orders from mobile apps.
Profit from predictive services – go from a traditional break-fix repair model to never-fail service model by integrating Internet of Things (IoT). Automate troubleshooting and remote fixes so a technician is dispatched only when necessary.
Optimised scheduling

- Simple to configure and connect both new and existing customer assets
- Decrease number of repair appointments by dispatching fewer technicians.
- Identify underperforming products by using field service software to look at aggregate device data.
