The Salesforce Field Service platform connects all stakeholders involved in field service – the field service team, contractors, and customers – to ensure seamless service delivery. When a work order is received, dispatchers have access to complete customer and asset information, allowing them to assign an appropriate personnel to perform the necessary service. This may include tasks such as inspections, installations, or repairs to address any issues reported by customers. Upon receiving a work order, field service personnel are dispatched to the job site. After completing their duties, they can easily generate a Field Service Report to document the specifics of their visit. This report typically includes details such as the services performed, materials used, hours of service, appointment times, location, and any relevant photos. In the end, generated reports can be saved and shared to other stakeholders like line managers and customers for approval and signing if required by the workflow.

A Work order record usually indicates:

  • Customer’s details
  • Field venue
  • Appointment times
  • Tasks to be done
  • Materials/products required to perform the service
