Field Service Management systems are designed to efficiently manage field employees and resources, facilitating work planning outside of offices, such as at client locations. These systems enhance control over deadlines, working hours, and resource utilization, including vehicle fleets. GeoTask, as an FSM system, improves information flow and communication between field workers, dispatchers, logisticians, call center employees, and clients. It enhances operational efficiency, task allocation, and progress monitoring while standardizing completion times for various field tasks.
