Charket for Field Service

1. Client Background

The client is a global medical equipment company that develops and manufactures surgical devices and related pharmaceutical products.

2. Challenges

ServiceMax, an application built with and running on top of the Salesforce Lightning platform, is used by this global company to manage on-site repairs and maintenance of their equipments. Customers of the company had previously made service appointments by calling the company’s contact center where service agents created cases and assigned them to service engineers according to the customer and equipment data maintained in ServiceMax. This process introduced the following issues and challenges:
2. Challenges
Customers had to wait for long time when the contact center was busy. The customer satisfaction was compromised.
2. Challenges
There were often times a gap between what a customer described over the phone and what the issue really was happened due to limitation with telephone communication. Such gap delayed the issue resolution process and could potentially upset the customers.
2. Challenges
The communication between customers and service engineers suffered from the same telephone communication limitation that service engineers could not obtain the most accurate information before going onsite.
2. Challenges
Going from one customer to another did not leave service engineers much time to open their computers and update case status. Customers did not receive timely status update, had hard time reaching out to service engineers, and could not submit their feedback regarding their experience with services received.
2. Challenges
The contact center operating cost for equipments, telephone services, rent and salaries was getting higher.
The client started looking for a new solution that can improve the satisfaction of their customers in China and at the same time, bring the operating cost on customer support down. The new solution needed to meet the following requirements.
2. Challenges
Customers can submit their service requests at any time by scanning equipment QR codes with WeChat and if needed, upload pictures and video clips through WeChat as well.
2. Challenges
QR codes have customer and equipment data maintained in ServiceMax.
2. Challenges
Cases are saved directly to Salesforce and assigned to service engineers automatically based on ServiceMax data.
2. Challenges
Service engineers and service agents can update case status from their mobile devices and real-time updates are pushed to customers’ WeChat.
2. Challenges
Cases, if not attended by service engineers within the timeframe defined in SLA, need to be escalated and reassigned.
2. Challenges
Customers can communicate directly with service engineers through WeChat.
2. Challenges
Customers can use WeChat to provide their feedback on customer service experience by submitting surveys.
