Improve Field Service Operations and Customer Service with Salesforce

When you’re like our client—a US-based financial services tech company providing brokerage, investment banking, and advisement—success depends upon efficient field service operations and consistent, high-quality customer service.

Our client struggled on both fronts because of siloed field service systems. This absence of collaborative systems within and between the field service department and other departments led to:

  • Poor workload distribution among technicians
  • Lack of personalized customer experience
  • Inefficient inventory management
  • Problematic CI/CD configuration
