At Cirrius, we feel that these Salesforce field service lightning discovery questions are critical to successfully design the right solution. If not done correctly, downstream activities will suffer, or worse, the FSL implementation will be completely unusable.
Salesforce field service lightning (FSL) is becoming increasingly important to field service managers who are required to do more than ever. Executives ask that front-line managers control costs and increase customer satisfaction without cutting corners on speed and quality. Reading between the lines, the goal is to optimize service efficiency. To increase customer satisfaction, service businesses have implemented a variety of different strategies.
Those hight growth service companies with large-scale operations have added more field technicians on the ground and more trucks in the field to ensure that all jobs are fulfilled in a timely manner. However, this all comes at a cost. The increased capacity can be underused, which leads to diminishing margins and potentially turning a profit center into a cost center. Our experts have years of experience helping customers tackle this problem and we have created this Salesforce Field Service Discovery Questionnaire to help scope your implementation.
