Back to all BlogsHow to spend less time on asset management admin
Too many field services businesses are spending hour after hour with their asset management admin trying to locate asset information on their client’s jobs.
Even the simple job of adding a new asset is a seemingly endless task, so let’s change that. Klipboard can help you start spending less time with your admin and more time with your clients.
Your Asset Management admin is stopping you from meeting your client’s expectations
Your clients expectations are always increasing, what was an impressive and fast response yesterday, is now the modern standard and most field service businesses systems aren’t set up to handle these expectations.
From personal banking apps to ordering food, the digital age customer expects everything at their finger tips and they want their suppliers to know everything about their account, the services they offer and what your are responsible for maintaining.
If it takes time out of your day to produce a report on a client’s job, raise a quote or invoice or even write up the asset management admin for the job itself, then you’re holding your business back.
Why people are turning to software to manage their field service admin
A recent report from Capterra showed that 97% of field service software users saw a positive impact on their business from implementing Field Service Management (FSM) software.
Many businesses are upgrading their processes by adding FSM software but not all software options are equal, many don’t have a robust and intuitive asset management system.
