Deployment planning of service orders — for efficient resource planning
Efficient scheduling and dispatching of technicians is a real challenge for companies: employees have to be deployed as efficiently as possible according to qualifications, geographical area of operation, material availability and many other factors. It is particularly about these challenges:
- Quickly identify the best service technician for a job
- Plan operations cost-effectively without long travel and idle times
- Take into account all important order data such as required tools, qualification and availability of technicians
To ensure that you can carry out your service calls as cost-effectively and with the highest quality as possible, a callout planning software helps. With Innosoft, you have all the information for your customer assignments at a glance in a clear overview.
The intuitive menu navigation and the many features for detailed planning, such as Google Maps integration for route planning or the definition of skills, customer requirements, etc., facilitate the scheduling of employees.
Our deployment planning solution can support you in this
- Identify available service technicians
- Select technicians based on appropriate qualifications and geographic location
- Planning service calls and travel thanks to features such as Google Maps integration
and the definition of skills, customer requirements and material - Schedule periodically recurring maintenance calls
- intuitive menu navigation and clear overview with vivid colour design
- Technician app for dynamic reporting, including mobile time tracking
The operation is simple and intuitive:
You can conveniently insert elements via drag-and-drop, switch between day and week view, apply practical filters and use the data provided to reduce costs and discover optimisation potential.
Satisfied customers and employees thanks to professional scheduling software
Badly planned service calls, annoyed employees, dissatisfied customers and paperwork are a thing of the past with our resource and staff scheduling software.
Make resource planning easy with our intuitive staff scheduling software!
The special feature: In the modern web interface of the Innosoft FSM software, you plan customer requests, give technicians all the necessary information at their fingertips and have the option of creating dynamic reports. The collected data, including KPIs and statistics, subsequently offer many optimisation options.
This is what deployment planning
with our solution can look like
1.
A new ticket is created via the Innosoft Ticket Module, which contains all information about the service case as well as the internal and external communication history. This ticket can be created via different channels (e.g. e‑mail, telephone or the Innosoft Customer Portal).
2.
An order is created for the ticket in the customer ERP system integrated with Innosoft. All important data of this order is automatically transferred to the system via the standard interface.
3.
In the graphical planning board, the shift planner sees all shifts that have not yet been planned on a daily basis. These are shown to the planner as “provisional”.
4.
The scheduler uses interactive slot planning to check assignments according to various criteria (capacity, skills and distance) and find the best technician and appointment for each assignment.
5.
The scheduler agrees on the target date with the client.
6.
After confirmation, the client automatically receives an email with all information about the upcoming assignment and a confirmation of the appointment.
7.
Service technicians receive an automatic notification that an assignment has been scheduled for them. Via their mobile device (e.g. Windows, Android or iOS), they can see which assignments are scheduled for the next few weeks. In addition, they receive detailed information (such as times, cash expenditures or material used) for this assignment and can document during the assignment. They can fill out dynamic reports and have this service report digitally signed by the customer.
8.
As soon as a service report is available in the office, a supervisor can check the information and approve it via a release process. Afterwards, the service data is transferred to the connected ERP via the standard interface so that an invoice or even a travel expense report can be created there.
