As technology gets better, faster, and stronger more and more businesses are moving to state-of-the-art software that meets their needs.
Software Advice, a technology review site, recently published their 2014 Field Service Buyer View. Here are a few of the key takeaways:
"We pulled a random sample of hundreds of buyers that were interested in software for their business to find out who they are, what they are looking for in new software and why they are looking for a new solution in the first place. The results are quite interesting.
First, we found that 54 percent of buyers are currently using manual methods, such as paper, whiteboards or even simple software like Excel or QuickBooks, to handle all their field service needs. This is understandably inefficient, and perhaps that’s why we find that the biggest pain point among our buyers with their current software is that it is missing necessary features.
Second, we found that the most desired functionality among our buyers is scheduling (81 percent), followed by routing and dispatching (66 percent) and integration with other systems (66 percent).
Finally, an overwhelming percentage of our buyers (97 percent) prefer an integrated suite with all their desired functions, as opposed to separate, best-of-breed software. Buyers are interested in one system that can handle the entirety of the complex, field service timeline." - Market Researcher Brian Westfall, Software Advice.
