Field service can feel like a never-ending puzzle – who, where, when and with what tools. The bigger your organisation, the more complex the puzzle becomes. That’s where Salesforce Field Service comes in.

In partnership with Salesforce, we’re hosting an in-person event to help you understand exactly how this solution can tackle key challenges and benefit your organisation. The main speaker is a Simpala customer who, since implementing the solution, has enjoyed a 13-week ROI and multiple cost savings.

From spreadsheets to savvy: how we levelled up our operations with Field Service

Power Saving Solutions took the leap to drop all their tracking spreadsheets and replace them with one unified system – Salesforce, with Field Service. The team can now maximise their engineer schedule, maintain their assets regularly and make strategic business decisions based on real data. The initial ROI is clear — the team recouped the cost of the entire Salesforce implementation within just 13 weeks.
