However, new web-based solutions with quick drag and drop functionality have emerged. With web-based field service management software you can begin scheduling in less than 30 minutes and have a field-ready implementation in less than a week. In addition, it’s affordable. Many online FSM solutions cost a lot less than your organization’s electrical bill each month, and frequently save you 2 – 3x more than the solution costs. Not only will the field service management software help you save money, but the streamlined implementation will save your team hundreds of employee hours on implementation.
