Challenge

James Automation has always had high standards for their customer experience, product design, and service process. But their manual system couldn’t keep up with their goals. The team at James Automation had limited visibility into their contracts, work orders, and customer pricing. They put the customer first, but time management, standard prices, and order processing was a mess, leading to revenue leakage and opportunities lost.

The paper-based system also failed to connect various internal organizations. Managers and administrative staff were not well connected with the field service team, so they were left in the dark regarding work order status. This slowed James Automation’s billing cycle.

Solution

To increase visibility into their service data, they implemented ServiceMax Field Service software. They began regularly reporting on customer service histories with the help of ServiceMax Reports & Dashboards.

James Automation also used ServiceMax Mobile for iPad to improve billing cycle times and close the gap on service quotes, updating the status of service delivered by the service team and subcontractors.

Other parts of their solution included Installed Base Management, Entitlement & Warranty Management, Work Order Management, Advanced Scheduling, as well as ServiceMax Customer Portals.

Results

James Automation knew that to grow their business they need better service delivery information, more often, and in real-time. This new insight has drove a 20% decrease in giving away free service. They’ve seen a total improvement in service revenue by 30%.
