ServiceMax was intended to manage our ticketing, service delivery, and invoicing. The goals of the program were to ensure adherence to our customer contract pricing, improve field response time, and streamline billing processes. The platform is used in conjunction with other internal systems and was intended to become the core component to manage all service delivery.
- Grinding workflows to a halt
- Drastically expanding the time it takes to perform essential job functions
- Breaking with every Salesforce update
- ServiceMax developers could benefit from having, at a minimum, a surface level understanding of the limitations of object oriented programming
- The platform should be a standalone product instead of attempting to run on top of an existing platform with identical record types
- ServiceMax should provide free state of the art servers and workstations, like the ones used to fold proteins or render complex AI generated graphics for their customers to run the platform on. This would give them the chance to experience the lightning quick responses of legendary programs such as Netscape or America On-line
- Ticketing
- Invoicing
- Contract Management
- Significantly delayed DSO
- Drastically increased invoicing errors
- Scared away a number of new recruits who saw that the learning curve was too steep

Requires Upfront Commitment to Configure it Right
ServiceMax is used by our Field Services organization to track field service requests and the subsequent reports. It is also used by our operations to track locations of install base by serial number and process return materials authorizations. Quality organization uses it to track failure rates. Further, we use it to interface repair orders of the returned hardware to our contract manufacturers.
- As it's built on Salesforce, the reporting tools are fairly robust
- The service flow managers can be setup to easily lead technicians to entering data in the right place
- They are still using Flash for the dispatch console, even though Flash will soon be deprecated in many browsers
- Configuration remains esoteric, especially that you have to hit save button in several places just to make one change in the service flow manager
- Can only tell user usages based on Salesforce logins, cannot tell actual usage of Servicemax itself if you have other SFDC based applications sharing same SFDC org
- We are able to track and easily report on the location of all our installed hardware to pinpoint issues.

ServiceMax was good, but Salesforce will eat their lunch
We are using ServiceMax for our entire North America team of 200+ field service technicians. Backoffice support and technical support teams are also using it to support field service operations. This unifies us all into one system where a customer can smoothly talk to tech support, open a service call, be scheduled, and have a technician show up on site. The technician can then close the work order and report back into the system the results of the service call, and the call can then be billed out by our ERP system (we are integrated with Oracle).
- Offline support is there, but with many catches and caveats.
- A separate engine for the mobile app that runs and can be designed separately from Salesforce.
- Integration with Salesforce is decent.
- The offline sync is very buggy and has many limitations. Recovery of the sync if it fails because of technicalities is in many ways, unrecoverable and unexplainable by the user.
- No integration with Salesforce knowledge articles.
- Support is limited and usually not knowledgeable about their own products.
- Service efficiency is up about 20%
- Simplified work order closure process prevents errors and user frustration
- CSE satisfaction is much improved
- Work order closure process adherence is almost 100% because of the ability to close work orders anywhere.
ServiceMax has an offline capability, and also integrates with our Salesforce side of business. At the time, Salesforce did not have a field service application so we could not consider it, but if we could now, we would probably go with that instead. ServiceMax is also expensive. But at the time, ServiceMax was the only offering out there that integrated with Salesforce, had mobile offline capability, and could operate at the scale we needed.

ServiceMax evaluation by The Mad Electronic Slave
Service Max is being used as the O&M extension to SalesForce. It currently is the platform for creating service tickets and handling the data entry for service tickets. ServiceMax also becomes the basis for accounting and billing from the service ticket information. Future plans are for it to handle inventory.
- ServiceMax easily creates service tickets and tracking information.
- Dispatch console seems slow and the data is more of a pull than a push into the database.
- It seems to be a Ferrari and takes a lot of labor hours to configure.
- Still does not integrate with Apple's products very well.
- ROI for ServiceMax is mostly dependent on how in depth the organization wants the software. Our ROI is expected within the second year of operation due to the complexity of integration and the initial training requirements for in-house programmers.
- Inventory control ROI is expected within year three or four due to the number of technicians and creating the foundation of information to import into ServiceMax. Expectations are the front end programming will be complete and our programmers will be better acquainted with the modules and architecture to make the inventory integration smoother than the initial integration.
- Our organization has been working with ServiceMax for ten months and beginning to incorporate the financials to the work orders. This process has not been as seamless as once projected and the root causes are under investigation. It appears the original fields available to track time between employees were not in depth nor segregated sufficiently for granularity.
- Basecamp and AS400
ServiceMax is a more in-depth system created for larger institutions compared to Basecamp 2. Basecamp is a product that is quick to initiate but lacks the reporting power of ServiceMax, but Basecamp 3 is reported to add reporting functionality. ServiceMax reporting can be a challenge due to how the back-end architecture and how the tables were created.
ServiceMax compared to AS400, well, AS400 has been the mainstream architecture for decades but takes programming expertise to incorporate and maintain. ServiceMax seems to have the potential to work on the same level, but as previously stated, it is programming intensive and organizations should be prepared for integration by hiring people trained in ServiceMax.
