"Service departments of contracting companies live and die by how quickly they can resolve customer issues. The right technician needs to be assigned quickly, arrive with the right parts, have access to the necessary information, and resolve the issue on the first call," said Jon Witty, vice president and general manager of Sage Construction and Real Estate. "Streamlining field-to-office-to-customer communication enables contractors to deliver excellent customer service anytime, anywhere so they delight and retain their customers of today and win new ones tomorrow."

Witty adds, "Integrated with our construction-specific ERP systems, which are the most widely used in the industry, Sage Service Operations provides field technicians with the critical information they need while office staff receive real-time updates from the field, resulting in higher quality work and maximum profitability of service operations."

The solution is tailored to both technicians and customers. Sage Service Operations for Technicians brings improved service management processes to the field by providing field service automation for: work order processing, access to service site and equipment history, sales opportunity creation, mobile purchase order creation, payment collection from the field, and real-time schedule updates.

"Previously, our technicians often placed several calls back to the office to get details about the customer or the service request," said Ken Fleck, vice president of Modern Niagara Group, a Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate customer. "Sage Service Operations puts all the information in their hands. We've reduced the administrative burden and enabled everyone to be more productive."
