2. Improve Field Service Appointments with Smarter Resource Scheduling  

Facilitate faster, smarter workflow by assigning tasks to the ideal project service resource. Through the Extended Match Work Rules, you can schedule service appointments to your resources based on territory, skill level, and more.

With the new Mobile Time Sheets feature, workers can also easily log their working hours on their mobile devices and view the status of their entries at any time. 

Moreover, the Health Check functionality identifies problem areas in your Field Service configuration and provides on-the-spot recommendations about best practices.  

3. Deliver Fast, Accurate Answers to Customers with Easy-to-Access Knowledge Articles  

Answer customers’ queries in a flash with the ease of search and access to knowledge articles. You can also share articles across chat, messaging, and social posts for greater reach.
