If you’re looking for a way to gain a step on your competitors in 2015, workforce management may very well be the answer you’re looking for. After all, the technology allows you to:

• Access real-time information in the field. Rather than your technicians having to call a dispatcher to figure out what resident location they are servicing next, workforce management tools automate that entire process. Technicians can receive all pertinent updates via their mobile device—like whether an appointment was canceled or whether a customer is have an emergency and needs help immediately—eliminating the need for having to call and check in.

• Update accounts from any Internet-connected device. Workforce management tools also allow technicians to finalize jobs, update subscriber information, collect payments and change account information, among many other things. Since the technology is intuitive, your workers will be able to quickly finalize their now digitalized “paperwork,” thereby allowing them to spend more time out in the field serving customers.

• Integrate with third-party solutions. Best-in-class workforce management solutions provide third-party integration functionality, so you’re able to get the most out of the systems you use, realizing even more efficiencies along the way.
