Introduction

Telecom providers face unique challenges in ensuring seamless coordination between field operations and the home office. A major telecom company was struggling with disconnected field operations and inefficient manual reporting processes. These challenges led to delays in service, a lack of visibility into field technician performance, and a diminished customer experience. The company sought a solution that could streamline field service management, improve service delivery time, and enhance customer satisfaction. 

The Problem

The telecom provider’s field operations were fragmented and heavily reliant on manual reporting systems, leading to inefficiencies in ticket resolution and service execution. Technicians spent excessive time on administrative tasks, such as filling out forms and waiting for approvals, which delayed ticket closures and hampered their ability to deliver quality service. This resulted in: 

Slow service ticket closures

Poor visibility into field operations

Delays in reporting and approvals

Inconsistent communication between field staff and back-office teams

Lower customer satisfaction due to extended service times

Our Approach

AiSynapTech’s strategy focused on deploying a mobile-first Field Service Management (FSM) system powered by Salesforce Field Service Lightning (FSL). This solution was tailored to meet the specific needs of the telecom provider by providing real-time communication, improving task automation, and optimizing field operations. Key elements of the strategy included: 

Salesforce FSL Integration:

Seamless integration with the existing Salesforce CRM system to provide a unified platform for managing field operations and customer interactions.

Mobile-first Deployment:

A mobile app-based solution to empower field technicians to access real-time service tickets and update status on-the-go.

Automated Workflows:

Automation of routine tasks, such as ticket assignment and approval processes, to reduce manual intervention.

Real-time Analytics:

Providing managers with real-time dashboards to monitor field performance and track ticket status.

Enhanced Communication:

Establishing instant communication between field agents and the back-office team to resolve issues more efficiently.

This approach aimed at improving service speed, reducing human errors, and increasing overall productivity.

The Solution

AiSynapTech implemented a Salesforce Field Service Lightning (FSL) solution that enabled the telecom provider to automate and optimize its field service processes. The mobile-first FSL deployment provided field technicians with real-time access to service tickets, enabling them to close tickets faster and stay updated on job status. Here’s a breakdown of the solution in action: 

Mobile-first access:

Technicians could instantly access, update, and close service tickets directly from their mobile devices.

Automation:

Routine tasks like ticket assignment and approval workflows were automated, reducing the time spent on administrative duties.

Efficient Scheduling:

Intelligent scheduling and dispatch tools optimized technician routes and job assignments based on skillset, location, and urgency.

Improved Visibility:

By deploying a mobile-first FSL system, the telecom provider was able to streamline its field operations and deliver faster, more reliable services to its customers.
