Job scheduling
Manage multiple calls, allocations and all day-to-day office
activity from your graphical diary. Maximise your resource
allocation, job scheduling and promote effective collaboration
between the office and the field-based team.
View availability
Each engineer has their own graphical diary so you can
immediately check their availabilityand job schedule. Colour-coding
and labelling enables you to differentiate between different types
of job (for example, breakdowns, return to fit and service jobs) as
well as any generic business activity such as meetings and events.
You can also plan in holidays, view sickness and absence.
Double-click on the planner to get full detail about each job.
Workforce management
You can open multiple diaries at one time, making it easy to
re-allocate jobs between engineers by simply using 'drag and drop.'
Manage larger projects by extending jobs to multiple engineers over
multiple days.
Effective allocation
Filter by customer location, engineer skill set or combination
of both. You choose the search criteria and the system prompts the
best engineer/s for the job. On allocating a job, your engineers
receive a detailed job sheet either by fax, email or SMS, along
with any call history so they go to your customer's site fully
informed.
Call management
Response times are recorded automatically. All your engineers'
travel times are entered, along with start and finish times. All
details regarding job resolution, such as time of call, parts used,
fix codes, parts required and loan items can all be entered.
Optional information such as customer order reference and 'next
visit reminders' can also be recorded, as well as call codes to
provide analysis on the most frequent faults and fixes.
