Solving the Inventory Struggle in Salesforce Field Service

Streamlining Field Operations: Elevating Efficiency with Inventory Management in Salesforce Field Service

Salesforce Field Service is designed for any business that has a fleet of people in the field performing deliveries, repairs, and installations. Field Service streamlines the process for resources in the field through numerous different features. For example, it permits field service resources to finish work orders while staying on the job site, enables supervisors to see and manage work from either a Gantt graph or map view, and accurate time recommendations for clients on the basis of existing schedules and travel time. These features grant a more streamlined process for field service resources and success for businesses. However, due to the increase in Salesforce customers who had already implemented or were evaluating Salesforce Field Service, we understood that comprehensive inventory management capability was not available.
