It ensures that your field service organization is consistently delivering the best customer service it can with the anticipated available resource levels In addition, it ensures it is utilizing its resources (technicians/engineers, dispatchers, call agents etc.) as efficiently as is possible and responding to situations that put SLA-compliant response, or appointments, in jeopardy. Using accurate travel distances and expected road travel journey times for each part of the day, skills of your personnel, the engine considers the entire schedule in real-time and reacts to minimize your costs and maximize your service response. In most cases, thousands of options are considered in a matter of a few minutes.
