3. New B2B Service Offerings
4. Increase Customer Satisfaction/NPS
Current Challenges. Call Center
- Siloed systems
- Disconnected from other regions
- Poor Return tracking
- Poor partner visibility
Current Challenges. Work Order Management
- No visibility to truck stock
- No task breakdown on Work Orders
- Poor reconciliation to partners/distributors
Current Challenges. Resource Management
- No crew capability for installs
- No visibility across regions
Current Challenges. Contract/Agreement Management
- Service is often given away due to poor entitlement tracking
- No tickler system for renewals
Current Challenges. Asset Management
- No sub-asset tracking
- No work Order history
- No visibility to detailed location tracking
- No ability to connect to IoT
Current Challenges. Mobile Technician Capability
- No offline mode
- Inspections are done manually
- No quoting, signature, or job summary/print capability
Current Challenges. Scheduling
- Lack of status updates from technicians
- Manual crew scheduling for installs
- No ability to estimate travel time
- No filter capability to search for the best technician
Desired Functionality. Call Center
- Customer 360 capability with Knowledge Base
- Visibility to Partner/Distributor information
- Portal capability for customer visibility to Knowledge, equipment owned, open work orders and cases Desired Functionality. Work Order management
- Defined Work Order Tasks
- Inventory tracking
- Digital Inspections with Branch Logic and Reporting
- Integration to ERP for proper pricing and invoicing
Desired Functionality. Inspections
- Conditional logic for Gas Compressor pressure reading failure
- By looking at the reading, a technician can see if it's in the red, indicating failure. If fail, must shut down, clean or replace pressure valve
- Impromptu Inspections - the ability to create inspections at a customer site on assets without a work order while working on another work order at the customer site.
- Inspection results are critical to review with the customer after the inspection is performed Desired Functionality. Resource Management
- Flexible Work Hours
- Crews, equipment tracking as resources for scheduling
- Skills with proficiency levels
- Drip Scheduling for planned maintenance jobs
Desired Functionality. Asset Management
- Track Asset sub-components
- Connected Service for new equipment
- Azure Machine Learning to offer a new chargeable service for machine uptime
- Capture defined asset readings to feed the Azure Machine Learning model
- Many internal assets are used on jobs. We need to be able to schedule those assets with a technician on a job.
- We also perform our own maintenance on internal assets
- These would not be needed for RS
Desired Functionality. Contract/Agreement Management
- Generate Planned Maintenance jobs 3 months in advance for capacity planning
- Tickler system to notify customers of expirations
- Track covered equipment and related entitlements
Desired Functionality. Mobile Technician Capability
- Offline
- Digitized Inspections
- Geo-fencing for no-touch arrival and departure
- "Uber-like" functionality, notifying customers when a technician will be arriving
- Remote Assist functionality to quickly get junior technicians in the field and increasing first time fix rate Desired Functionality. Scheduling
- Schedule Boards visible to each region
- Assign resources based on skills and proficiency
- Visibility to access resources from other regions
- Drip Scheduling for inspection jobs
- Scheduling optimization for small jobs
- Automated crew assignment for installation jobs
Desired Functionality. Returns Management
- RMA's
- Tied to Customer Service
- Track open Returns to reduce part/asset leakage & charge for not returned items
- The biggest issue we face today is that we can't track an item that a customer has returned
- RTV
- Ability to send in-warranty parts back to vendor for credit or exchange Desired Functionality. IoT
- IoT devices will be place on all new and existing equipment.
- Devices will measure compressor temperature and motor pressure of the equipment.
- Azure Machine Learning is desired to predict failure based on trends of compressor temperature and pressure readings.
- Currently, there is no way to capture backflow pressure because it can only be measured during the onsite inspection by a technician.
- Contoso Compressor would like to capture that value and feed it back to the machine-learning algorithm to better measure performance and predict failure.
