    Dispatch is well suited for teams looking to improve their delivery notification process. The ability to notify customers via automated phone call or text is invaluable and takes the burden away from the drivers and delivery team on the ground, who can be unreliable and inefficient at times depending on the situation.

    SAP Field Service Management fits our SAP EAM strategy and natively integrates with our landscape. SAP Field Service Management works well with all of our short cycle work that is primarily executed by our internal work force, but we did not use SAP Field Service Management for our long cycle work. Initially SAP Field Service Management did not fit our needs, but we will look to re-evaluate - since there has been substantial improvements with Crowd Service.

    Though it is good tool but still having issues with stability and need good amount of technical support to implement. The Industry still do not have good resource available for supporting this product. SAP should provide lighter user manuals/ set up documents. The ones which are already there looks very complex and requires lot of time to go through

    SAP Field Service Management has definitely very nice interface and mobile application. Also thanks to advanced business rules we can automate a lot of processes and many AI functionalities can be used to help dispatchers, technicians and service team in their work. It also has strong integration capabilities (using e.g. SAP CPI or Proaxia Connector).

    Support Rating
    Dispatch, Inc.
    Dispatch has timely customer service and set up support. Unfortunately, they are only able to assist via phone and do not have a chat option. Chatting would be much easier for being able to answer simple questions or software issues instead of having to wait on hold over the phone.

    Support is not very good. Actually one way to support this product is to have flexible and robust support. As it is a relatively new product and continuously evolving so it is better that SAP provide quick support on issues which may feel are trivial.

    We used Route4Me but surprisingly there are very few alternatives and companies on the market that are well suited for performing this kind of tracking. I am somewhat disappointed that Dispatch is the only option, only because the desktop and mobile applications can be so buggy and, at times, unreliable. But, the other existing options on the market are much worse.
