Field Service Lightning

Salesforce Field Service Lightning (FSL), as you might know, is a Salesforce product that connects customers, the workforce, and products on a single platform to deliver exceptional on-site services. It also provides the customer support team a chance to intelligently delegate work to Field Service technicians and monitor them constantly. It enables them to handle customers’ records and data in the field from within Salesforce.

FSL allows us to bring together three important elements of a Business that provide on-field service.

  • Customers
  • Products
  • Workforce

Why Field Service Lightning (FSL)?

Businesses utilizing traditional ways for field service management are often overwhelmed to provide on-time field services to their customers. However, running field service management businesses brings various challenges, including delivering on-time customer service. 

If your business faces similar challenges like inefficient dispatching and scheduling, tracking technician performance, poor communication with users, and lack of data-driven decisions, choosing Field Service Lightning in Salesforce can be valuable to solve all the problems. Furthermore, companies were unsure about customer satisfaction when installation and repair tasks were managed manually via phone calls and spreadsheets. Salesforce FSL eliminates the question of efficiency with real-time tracking of field technicians.

The benefits of using FSL

The benefits of using Field Service Lightning (FSL) for service and maintenance businesses go beyond the minimal advantages:

 

  • Increased productivity and efficiency
    ‍Imagine a repair service using FSL to distribute work orders among its technicians. Instead of wasting time figuring out who should go where the system automatically assigns tasks based on location and availability. Technicians spend less time traveling and more time working, visiting more customers in a day. 

 

  • Improved customer service
    Clients benefit too. Picture a home appliance service company that can now give customers accurate information about when a technician will arrive for repairs. No more waiting around all day; customers get clear updates, which makes them happier and more likely to return for future services.

 

  • Efficient routing
    ‍For businesses that rely on travel, like a courier service, FSL helps by optimizing routes. Drivers avoid traffic, cut down on fuel costs, and make timely deliveries. It’s a win for both efficiency and cost savings.

 

  • Faster communication
    ‍FSL also facilitates communication between mobile workers and dispatchers. An installation company, for example, can send job details directly to their workers’ phones and get instant updates on progress. Everything happens in real-time, so there’s no need for back-and-forth calls or delays.

 

  • Asset and inventory tracking
    Finally, FSL keeps track of assets and inventory. Think of an equipment manufacturer that needs to monitor the condition of machinery at various service points. With FSL, they know exactly what’s where, what needs maintenance, and can schedule repairs before issues become problems.
