Field Service (formerly known as Field Service Lightning) is a customizable, mobile-friendly field service hub in Salesforce. It provides tools to manage work orders, scheduling, and a mobile workforce.
The software is very well-suited to asset lifecycle management and system condition monitoring. User-friendliness of the product and effectiveness in managing work orders. The software's pricing is much more affordable than that of other EAM systems. Many improvements are needed in the customer support services department. Delays in response are costly.
We've demoed quite a few models, different companies. I know Salesforce has huge backing, but even so they're open to customization and solutions. Some of the competition, keep in mind for my industry, there's not a lot of options out there. We're not your typical Salesforce target market. I mean we're not really selling a lot. I mean, quite honestly, I don't even have a sales department because can't do all of the work that my current customers need me to do. So I don't need to go drum up new business. I just needed it for more of tracking and a work management solution. And in the construction, specifically utility construction, industry, there's not a lot of options, but it definitely was the best option for us.

Powerful Work Management, Contracts, Inventory, and Purchasing applications and features that are a better match to other ERP applications today
Real Time Communication with back-office team When our nurses need anything by using mobile app they can reach out to our back office team to resolve their issues
Utilization of resources We can see the all the appointments view with the assigned representative in a single page so We can assign more appointments if any resources has any free slot it is just a drag and drop
It helps us to automate the process like delay or reach notification we can also route the appointments based on representative skill set, location and urgency of task
Usually, we have problems with the mobile apps. For about seven out of ten customers, we need to use third-party mobile applications. It’s been a rollercoaster — Anywhere was terrible, then Maximo Mobile for 8 was pretty good, and now with Maximo 9, it’s problematic again. So it’s been ups and downs. But the good thing is that the architecture is open, so we can use third-party applications or even develop our own add-ons. Still, IBM could do this better.
Our biggest complaint is the optimizer removes jobs from the schedule at times and they are hard to track down and if missed we may not have a tech show up at all for the customer.
Reporting off of Service Appointment history is challenging
Without having a developer adjust your views the amount of available fields can be overwhelming.
IBM Maximo Application Suite has provided a solution to our desire to consolidate the multiple applications serving the layers of the Procurement process we has been accustomed to using. By consolidating applications, licensing and software costs are reduced, and the overall headcount to support the various applications was able to be minimized.
As of right now there is not a alternative that seems to offer all of the functionality with a vision of what is needed in the future. It is my belief that ClickSoftware will remain a leader in Mobile Workforce Management for a long time.
The IBM Maximo Application Suite is well known for inventory management solutions. This solution is in use by many corporations but mostly I have seen its use in Ports, defense and aerospace industries. Some of the benefits are 1. asset tracking is amazing 2. Maintenance cost is less 3. Reduced inspection costs 4. Less downtime 5. It allows customization 6 Simplify data management 7. Highly adaptable
Within a week a scheduler can confidently navigate the program and from there they learn more niche tools but from the beginning they can hit the ground running. With different user views available the developers can narrow down what is needed based on your job role which has been invaluable.
I have regularly contacted IBM Support to report issues and raise requests for issues we face during project implementations. The response from them has overall been good and to the point, and they get back to us within a day or 2 and guide us through the process of fixing it or providing an interim fix of the product
Having a program that gives sales leaders a real time view was game changing. Time was always an issue because there wasn't always a sales leader available for closing sales. This has allowed for any sales leader to jump in and help make the sale without the need to do a warm transfer.
Overall the training was quite informative but did lack detail in some areas. It had all of the necessary content for an experience product user but didn't offer enough information for a new user to complete the training and then feel comfortable in real-world situations running or managing the software. I would recommend this course for anyone with at least 1 year of full-time exposure to the ClickSchedule product.
Implementation of IBM MAS as a service provider has been easy. The functionality in the OEM space has been the best of its class with all related modules and application subject to maintenance
As a computerized maintenance management system i do not have experience of any other system. The only experience I have is for Maximo and it works excellent for me. I am using many modules available in Maximo and all of these modules are almost fulfilling all of my business needs.
I have added a few of the many Salesforce products we use. We also use HubSpot but they all have different functions so not really comparable as they are used for different things/ teams.
Being the core business of my organization, IBM Maximo had a complete ROI for our objectives. We are able to successfully maintain and offer multiple solutions based on our interaction with Maximo.
Based on our contracts, we are able to provide a great partnership with IBM thru Maximo and it's tools.
We are able to maintain our business with steady market growth based mainly on our offer of the IBM Maximo in various layers.
