Another benefit of SLM is the automation and optimization of the service processes in the field. Resource utilization and efficiency can be increased through effective call scheduling, allowing more service to be performed with fewer technicians. Companies have found the value of completing service calls on the first visit by deploying the right technician, with the right service parts and the right skills at the right time.
In addition to reducing service costs in the field, SLM can also impact the help desk processes in order to allow for more efficient call centers. Service requests can come from many places in addition to a problem report from a customer. These service requests must be routed to the right company representative and then efficiently dispatched for service.
Maybe most importantly, SLM can integrate the service-oriented business processes that span from the time of the service request through to satisfaction of the need and billing or warranty. Still better, SLM may be able to predict the need for service in advance and avoid an unplanned service call with a planned preventative maintenance call, lowering costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
