Field service management organizations face numerous challenges, including labor shortages, growing costs, and not having the right technology to improve the capabilities of technicians in the field or address the evolving needs of customers.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the practice of contracting an external service provider to improve field service processes. BPO can be a great opportunity to optimize field service operations when it’s no longer cost-effective or takes up too many internal resources for your organization.

What is business process outsourcing?

Field service organizations often work with disparate technology solutions that make it difficult for technicians to access information and complete tasks efficiently during service calls. Business process outsourcing companies can help with automating field service tasks, such as inventory tracking, to implementing an enterprise field service solution to modernize operations.

Field service organizations of all sizes choose BPO to reduce costs, achieve organizational efficiency, improve performance, and enhance customer experiences; however, there are many additional benefits to outsourcing business processes.

5 benefits to business process outsourcing

Modernize operations

BPO can help you achieve organizational efficiency with technology solutions that modernize your field service operations. You can streamline workflows, improve communications, and provide better access to product documentation that helps field service technicians deliver higher quality services. As a result, customer relationships will grow stronger when service calls are completed accurately and on time.

Empower field service technicians

Field service technicians struggle on the job because they don’t have the right tools for managing schedule changes, communication issues, inventory errors, and other unforeseen challenges. A lack of real-time information also impacts a technician’s ability to complete service calls proficiently. Cloud technology offers technicians mobile capability with access to real-time data and a comprehensive view of customer information.

Reduce costs

Field service organizations lose time and money when you assign a field service technician with the wrong skills to a service call or your technicians have difficulty looking for documentation. With new technology that centralizes data and offers deeper insight into how resources can be allocated, field service organizations can optimize operations and reduce costs.

Remain competitive

Field service organizations risk losing business to the competition when you can’t effectively respond to the changing needs and expectations of customers. BPO helps organizations deliver better results, stay ahead of the competition, and remain agile during market disruptions like the pandemic.

Enhance customer experiences

Keeping up with customer expectations can be difficult, but your business will suffer if you don’t offer exceptional customer experiences. BPO is a cost-effective solution that provides customer-centric support with trained agents and AI-powered technology. As your field service organization grows, a technology partner can help you scale customer experiences.
