Flexibility

Go Green & Make Green with Workforce MobilityWorkforce mobility solutions in a !eld service organization provide a couple of very obvious opportunities for making a positive impact on the environ-ment.

Reduced emissions and fuel usage with route optimization software Virtual elimination of paper through electronic work orders and timecards

However, in today’s highly competitive marketplace, it is perhaps naive to expect companies to adopt green initiatives without at least brie"y wonder-ing, “What’s in it for me?”

Cash Savings

Streamlining an organization’s processes by implementing a mobility solution results in immediate savings by eliminating certain costs, such as paper, and reducing others, like fuel and vehicle maintenance costs, and toner cartridges and printer repair.

Paper invoicing and record-keeping is often the core savings area.

“Using manual timecards, an average of an hour a day per technician was being added by rounding. That’s for 32 techs. Then we had !ve managers spending time reconciling timecards and work order numbers. Since implementing FieldConnect,we are saving $4400 per week on this alone.”- Chat Goben, Service Manager, KDC Construction

When the majority of your day-to-day management tasks are suddenly digitized - job assignments, inventory lists, reports, contracts, etc. - it means you purchase less paper, less toner and drasticaly reduce technician visits when something goes wrong with those printers and copiers. Companies stop purchasing !le folders and make other physical !ling and mailing tools redundant, through features like automated electronic billing, online ordering, payments, and receipts.

The secondary area of savings is in reduced fuel and vehicle maintenance costs.

Transportation costs have long been a widely-accepted drain on the budget. But naturally, when technicians have optimized routing from job to job, it means less gas used and reduced wear and tear on vehicles. Oil changes are less frequent and tires last longer. And with GPS tracking you can be sure your trucks aren’t being used to perform moonlighting jobs.

Increased Revenues

While savings may be the !rst thing that leaps to mind when you think of the business advantages of going green a boost in revenues is a very real bene!t as well. Going green by implementing a mobility solution allows you to sell more to your current customers while winning new ones.

There are a few very simple ways to make more money from your current customers.

research studies were showing that more than half of consumers prefer to give their business to companies pursuing green initiatives.

And why not?

Mobility

Recruiting and Retention

Finally, companies that go green by implementing a mobility solution use the best technology to !nd and retain the best employees.

Providing a remote solution using a tablet, smartphone, or laptop allows your !eld technicians the freedom to view their work schedule from the breakfast table and your dispatchers the ability to assign calls from the corner co"ee shop.

Their days are hassle-free because they have instant electronic access to the information that helps them do their jobs, such as work site history and photos and electronic service manuals.

Electronic timecards and integration with accounting and payroll software ensure them that they are accurately paid.

Green Matters

April 22nd is Earth Day, and you’ll be encouraged by infinite messaging throughout the month to adopt earth-friendly practices in your life and in your business.

There are many motivations, whether driven by altruism or capitalism, to go green but the conclusion is clear: A mobility solution allows a company, in a single business decision, to cut costs and boost revenues, while making a positive and lasting impression on customers and staff.

Field service mobility is now a business imperative.
