Field services are coordinated service efforts (services, deliveries, installs) by a company at an off-site, customer work location or series of locations. Busy corporations routinely lose time, inventory, and costs from their Field Services departments. It’s very common for companies to realize the most important products and expensive equipment are also the most often stolen, broken, backordered, out-of-stock, in the wrong hands, “I don’t know,” or “lost.” It happens, and it happens often.

Solution time! The Apptricity SoO (System of Operation) provides real-time asset management abilities with intuitive functionality and a smooth user experience. The solution translates into measurable efficiencies in time and cost ROI. The following are common topics of request for field services solutions analysis and implementation:
