Quintiq, a global leader in supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O), and ePocket Handyman, Europe's leading software solution for mobile field service, released an integrated mobile platform earlier this year to enable remote field service technicians and improve resource planning.
"Technicians in the field can view schedules, record time and attendance, order parts, check inventories, log progress and obtain customer sign-off. This information allows continuous optimization, automatic rescheduling, an immediate check of all constraints, calculation of the impact on shifting schedules and generates new optimized shift schedule proposals," said Arjen Heeres, chief operating officer at Quintiq.
"Increasingly, organizations are investing in mobile technology to improve operational efficiency, workforce productivity and overall customer service," said Heeres. "By combining two software programs customers benefit from an end-to-end solution. This full solution is the system of record for service organizations."
"Handyman Mobile is an agile solution that supports optimal performance for mobile workers day to day," said Ralf Onkenof ePocket Handyman. "Working with Quintiq will allow us to provide improvements in overall efficiency and customer service for our customers and their employees."
Compatible with Android and Windows mobile operating smart phones and tablets, ePocket Handyman and Quintiq bring all the benefits of multi-resource planning into the field. Benefits include improved use of resources (employee, equipment, materials and vehicles); reduced response times and insight into service urgency; reduced time needed to create and revise operational plans; improved communication of operational plans and revisions; and reduced time for field service technicians to handle documentation and reporting.
Hosted by the Kundendienst-Verband, Deutschland (Customer Service Association, Germany), the Service Congress event attracts participants from field service companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Simultaneously, the Service World Exhibition, the largest trade fair for the service industry in Europe will host over 40 exhibitors who will present their products, ideas and solutions.
