In the utilities industry, field technicians are critical to ensuring timely service and maintenance for customers. However, many companies still rely on manual processes to dispatch technicians, resulting in significant delays and inefficiencies. One such utilities provider faced ongoing challenges in managing field service appointments, leading to long service delays and missed appointments. This case study explores how AiSynapTech helped the company overcome these hurdles using Salesforce Field Service Lightning to automate scheduling and optimize technician routing.
For the utilities provider, manual dispatching was the root cause of service delays and missed appointments. Scheduling technicians was a time-consuming process, and manually assigning jobs often led to inefficiencies, especially in urgent cases. Technicians were frequently sent to the wrong locations, causing delays and impacting customer satisfaction. Additionally, without an automated system, the company struggled to maintain visibility over technician workloads, leading to missed appointments and increased operational costs.
