Hawk-eye editor with a passion for trailblazing Salesforce experiences
If you have been following our posts, you might already know that OmniStudio for Salesforce declarative tool can be used for literally hundreds and thousands of use cases across any industry. One way in which this 2023 offering from the #1 CRM can also be used is to develop and build mobile applications. We don’t want to bore you with hours of details, so we picked one use case where OmniStudio mobile apps can be particularly beneficial. So read on if you want to learn more about how this technology benefits both companies and everyday workers.
OmniStudio for Field Services:
Field Services span a wide range of activities ranging from maintenance to construction, IT support to installations, and much more. The factor that all these services have in common is that they must be performed away from the office in order to meet a physical need of a customer, such as having a house or office constructed or a gas leak fixed.
Streamline Field Service
Field services have already greatly benefited from digitization by gaining greater connections between field workers and also communication between companies and those on the ground. OmniStudio takes this to the next level by helping field services use mobile apps to track shipping progress, view customer information, and streamline changing work orders on the go. So teams need never drop a ball or skip a beat while working in the field. Customer issues can become a thing of the past, with all field service workers having mobile access to the latest client needs and requests.
The entire Field Service process can be swiftly managed via OmniStudio with live push and pull of Salesforce data to track, schedule, and analyze all interactions between field service agents, companies, and customers. Even though this technology is super powerful software, it is not a mobile app. The solution? It is easily accessible via a range of OmniStudio partners. We discuss some of the major players below.
Top Field Service Apps
Salesforce Field Service
Salesforce Field Service integrates with OmniStudio, and any other Salesforce App for that matter, to provide a mobile app that works with live push and pull of Salesforce data. With Salesforce Field Services, representatives on the ground can get all the information they need at their fingertips, which includes order numbers, invoices, full customer details, customer history, and much more. Unfortunately, Salesforce Field Service is on the pricey side and is pretty complicated to set up, but if you can get past these problems, then it is a reliable option.
FieldAware
FieldAware provides an intuitive and simple-to-use Salesforce field service app for Field Service workers. It can be integrated with Salesforce and provides live tracking functions so companies can monitor operations and logistics as they happen on the ground. FieldAware does have some drawbacks though, like Salesforce Field service, which is on the expensive side and has a complicated setup. The real downside of FieldAware is that its integration with Salesforce is somewhat patchy, and you won’t really get the full power of the leading CRM.
ServiceMax
ServiceMax is another solid option for a Salesforce field service mobile app that is integrated with OmniStudio, and it has a great capacity to connect the entire field service lifecycle from organizing and scheduling orders to sending shipments and much more. Even though ServiceMax integrates pretty well with this technology, its general range of integrations is limited. So if you want to integrate with other third parties, it is probably best to look elsewhere.
Praxedo
Praxedo makes this list because of its user-friendly interface, as well as the fact that it is relatively flexible and, with the right knowledge, can be used to develop customized solutions for your field services needs. Unfortunately, it can’t integrate well with OmniStudio without heavy development in the form of APIs and company-specific integrations. Similarly, it is not your go-to tool for complete management of your field service operations. The short answer here is that you can do a lot better than Praxedo.
