The time is now to implement sustainable practices within your field service business, and with technology evolving at a constant rate, this is now possible.
Sustainability has become an ever-pressing matter across the world, with many businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint to keep up with government regulations and net-zero targets. The field service industry is no exception, with many companies already implementing sustainability initiatives as a way to not only keep up with global priorities but also increase company growth as a whole.
Pressure from regulators, investors, customers and competitors about your green agenda has never been greater, so sustainability must become a strategic priority in order for your field service business not to be left behind. Investing in a field service management software can significantly increase the efficiency of your business and increase customer satisfaction, so read on to find out more.
Decrease energy consumption
By connecting your field service engineers to your office-based team electronically, field service management software makes it easier for businesses to digitise many aspects of the engineer workflow. Service routes become optimised and checklists customised, leading to fewer unnecessary call outs and more efficient service bookings. These features greatly reduce overall fuel consumption and allows for companies to manage waste effectively, ensuring that all aspects of the businesses are working as efficiently as possible. By significantly decreasing fuel consumption and managing waste effectively your field services business positively contribute to the reduction in greenhouse gases.
Stock management
Being able to have a clear view of your inventory and when to replenish stock is important for cash flow management, business success and most importantly, reaching your sustainability goals. Investing in software that electronically manages field service operations allows for businesses to locate stock quickly and easily, and provides teams with access to pre-built reports to assist with stock replenishment. As well as increasing efficiently, software greatly reduces supply issues and fuel and materials are not easily wasted.
