Salesforce Field Service vs. Salesforce Maps

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.

If you are a small business or have a small team in the field, anything Salesforce and its components should be avoided. Its price-point and ROI are overstated.

• 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

Incentivized

• Color coding different accounts or data fields.
• Ability to see travel time and not just distance.
• Lots of data fields to pull from - big recent improvement.

• At times updates from may take a while to come back to the main database. This is generallly because of a loss of internet connectivity due to poor data coverage from cell towers or Wi-Fi networks.
• Organizational IT policies of network architecture/DMZ/Firewalls may add to the challenges of deploying ClickMobile outside of the organization domain, thus allowing field resources the ability to access relevant work order data without connecting the company network via VPN. This can usually be overcome with quality solution design and implementation.

• Lots of glitches
• Get signed out often, which interrupts the day
• Could be more intuitive

ClickSoftware is still being used. As far as I can tell it will be used tomorrow as well. Once you make the commitment to run with that as your scheduling engine, it would take a lot of effort to evaluate and implement another companies' solution without significant disruption to your service organization.

Worked well once you figured it out. The 'help portal' was no 'help'. Once you get done self-teaching yourself enough of the terminology and workings, it is pretty quick and easy to use. But the learning curve, again, is not worth the time or effort

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.

Support was comical. It was barely available and the few times I did get help the language barrier was extraordinarily problematic

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.

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.

MapAnything is very easy to use but it appears that similar companies are too. Because of the new pricing structure, they are expensive.

Incentivized

• It is the best return on investment it is utilizing our resources fully
• We are receiving more appointments then last year and it is very easy to manage by fsl dashboard
• We are getting high CSAT scores from our Customer which is a sign our customers are happy with our service

Incentivized

• Increased efficiency
• Reduced labor time
• Improved visibility
