Service isn’t easy. You are overwhelmed. Conflicting business objectives. Increasing customer demands. A shrinking workforce. And that’s exactly why Aquant was built. To give service leaders, reps, and teams the most accurate info they need, when they need it. Aquant helps you make great decisions. Your customers experience service that feels like magic. Exceptional service experiences are now business as usual. For customers, there’s average service, which just gets the job done. And then there’s exceptional service. The kind that makes them say “WOW.” Delivering service experiences like these is possible. Sometimes. But until now, it’s been the exception, not the rule. Service Intelligence gathers all your service data, analyzes it using Service AI, and gives service leaders, technicians and agents the critical info they need, exactly when they need it. So, now escalations vanish. Technicians know the right solution, sometimes before they even see the problem.
Workforce management (WFM) is a set of processes that maximize workforce performance and productivity with the goal of boosting organizational performance. But what does that mean exactly? Simply put: WFM means a holistic way to ensure that your employees are as productive as possible by making sure they always have the right resources – whenever they need them. With origins as a staff scheduling process for call centers, WFM has evolved into a complex framework for maintaining teams, budgeting, scheduling, and more. Today, its processes and tools are used across a number of business functions, including human resource management, performance and training management, scheduling, data collection, recruiting, budgeting and forecasting, scheduling, and analytics. Workforce management is a type of software applicable to a wide range of industries – including field service. As an extension of workforce management, field service management tools help teams better serve their clients and reduce overhead costs. Over the last decade, workforce management and field service management has evolved from time, attendance, and scheduling tools, to more sophisticated, data-driven technology that can continuously improve and manage workforce performance. Today, service intelligence is one of the most powerful tools available to leaders that need to manage their service workforce.
There are a number of workforce management solutions on the market, with options ranging from basic time and attendance functionalities to total transformation with service analytics and AI. With that in mind, there are a few factors that determine the right workforce management solutions for a business, including industry, location, company goals, and employee needs.
