Using AI to enhance field service management and optimise business performance

As new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) transform organisations across industries, the potential business benefits are a powerful argument to help a business go through the transition. An example of this would be within the ever-evolving nature of the field service industry; companies can now schedule a technician to come and check a network fault or conduct a service call for their customers almost immediately, thanks to AI. This is worlds away from ten years ago when the only option would have been to call and talk to a dispatcher as they flicked through employee logs and schedules manually to find an available, and properly skilled, technician. And often, the right technician required to resolve the issue was generally not available for a week, or longer. For any business, seven days without a resolution is a definite failure.
