How PlanSolve's Field Service Model Optimizes Your Operations

Field service businesses face unique challenges: managing mobile teams, optimizing routes, meeting customer expectations, and maintaining profitability. Our opinionated field service model is designed to address these challenges head-on.

The Field Service Challenge

Field service operations are inherently complex. Every day, you need to:

  • Assign the right technician to each job
  • Optimize routes to minimize travel time
  • Ensure SLA compliance
  • Handle last-minute changes and emergencies
  • Balance workload across your team

Traditional approaches often rely on manual planning or generic optimization tools that don't understand the nuances of field service operations.

What Our Field Service Model Does

PlanSolve's field service model is pre-trained with real-world field service data and incorporates proven best practices from leading companies in the industry.

Route Optimization

Our model considers multiple factors when optimizing routes:

  • Real-time traffic data to avoid congestion
  • Technician locations and current assignments
  • Job priorities and SLA requirements
  • Customer preferences and time windows
  • Equipment and parts availability

Smart Technician Matching

The model automatically matches technicians to jobs based on:

  • Skills and certifications required for each job
  • Experience level and performance history
  • Current workload and availability
  • Geographic proximity to job locations
  • Customer relationship and preferences

Dynamic Rescheduling

When unexpected events occur, the model can:

  • Reassign jobs to available technicians
  • Update routes in real-time
  • Notify customers of schedule changes
  • Maintain SLA compliance despite disruptions

Real-World Results

Companies using our field service model typically see:

  • 20-40% reduction in travel time
  • 15-25% increase in jobs completed per day
  • 30-50% improvement in on-time arrival rates
