How to get the right engineer to the right customer... at the right time!

By Emma James on Jan 5, 2023 11:17:06 AM

This is a question that Field Service Managers ask us all the time and there certainly isn’t a simple answer. What is crucial however, is the co-ordination and usage of key data related to field service. Some data is relatively static and some data is quite the opposite ie. it’s live and very, very recent.

How can field service software create happy customers and repeat business?

By Emma James on Dec 14, 2022 12:19:00 PM

Customers always seek good value but in recent surveys, “value for money” is not the first criteria for delivering customer satisfaction. In field service, surveys consistently tell us that “good quality service” is what people most value. This term is a little vague however; what does it mean? And how can software help deliver ‘good customer service’ and ‘happy customers?’

Managing a field workforce is easy when you have the right tools.

By Emma James on Dec 9, 2022 4:45:58 PM

There is one distinct facet about managing a field workforce that fundamentally changes the techniques needed and that is the fact that your resources are disparate, usually on their own and probably out of contact. Add to this, the concept of reactive work schedules and you have a business problem that is far and away one of the greatest to manage and resolve.

J. Murphy & Sons Limited turns to Solarvista.

By Emma James on Dec 2, 2022 2:49:09 PM

J. Murphy & Sons Limited was established in 1951 by John Murphy and was initially involved in working on post-war regeneration projects - the focus soon switched to the specialist reconstruction of the country’s electrical infrastructure. Then came road expansion projects, water services and Post Office cable installation. Later, and one of their greatest infrastructure achievements, was the introduction of natural gas pipelines in the UK and Ireland.

The Havana Coffee Co finds a solution…

By Emma James on Nov 23, 2022 3:12:50 PM

From small beginnings in 1999 as a tiny shop and coffee house, the Havana Coffee Company has become one of the largest commercial coffee companies in the South West region.

Whether it’s equipment, large or small, speciality coffee, or keeping up with new developments, they can help and guide - and they provide direct deliveries throughout the region.

As well as the finest coffees and equipment, The Havana Coffee Co also provide comprehensive barista training courses at their bespoke facility to make sure their customers always get the perfect Flat White or Cappuccino and enabling their staff to get on board with producing outstanding coffee.

“We were struggling with the laborious process of a paper-based ordering system using carbon copy pads, where invoices had to be created manually and then be checked and amended if necessary. 
Sometimes paperwork went missing and the whole process took so long!”

“Now we have implemented Solarvista, it’s just a 2-click operation, direct from the engineer to our system – complete with an easily accessible job history. No more storage issues with reems and reems of paperwork, everything’s seamless and automatic.”

“From onboarding to implementation, the whole process of installing Solarvista was simple and seemless and it was refreshing to have a responsive, UK based, Technical Team to sort out any queries we might have had.”

Solarvista platform achieves record reliability uptime of 99.6% over last 12 months.

By Emma James on Nov 18, 2022 2:23:16 PM

Business Continuity Management, or BCM, is the process of planning for incidents and issues with your critical systems and is usually carried out by first speculating on potential threats and then analysing what their impact might be on daily operations. It is really a kind of insurance, giving businesses the comfort of knowing that, even in the event of a disaster, the damage will be manageable.
