Field Service Performance Manager (FSPM) from HardMetrics bridges the ‘intelligence’ gap and aligns field service and customer service processes to:
- Improve first call resolution and prevent ‘truck rolls’
- Decrease the cost of servicing the customer
- Improve customer satisfaction
Your Mandate
When the customer calls, make the “right call.”
“We’ve got a problem.” When that call comes, customer service agents (CSRs) in the call center are usually the “first responders” to the crisis. In a perfect world, they’d resolve the problem right away. In the real world, when agents do not have ready access to the information they need to solve the customer’s problem, the CSR could be more inclined to “roll the trucks” for an on-site equipment check.
Dispatching field service to customer sites is necessary – but not always. It increases servicing costs and cuts into your bottom line. So is a hundred-dollar solution the “right call” to solve what is potentially a ten-dollar problem?
What information does your service organization need to make that “right call” and where is that information buried?

Your Challenge
Bridging the intelligence gap between field service and the contact center.
Beyond immediate call information, CSRs often have poor, limited, or no access to critical, problem-solving customer data. Service intelligence often resides in a multitude of sources and systems: fault detection, billing/dispatch, RFID, ERP, CRM, corporate data warehouse, even customer locations. Just as important, the right information has to be in the hands of management, field techs and supervisors at the right time to enable collaboration and a coordinated response.
Connecting, consolidating, and retaining this data for on-the-spot problem solving as well as historical analysis presents a multitude of challenges … and more than likely, IT resources are already over-extended and unable to help in a pinch.
