The challenge
Very often technicians are not able to finalize a job because they miss a spare part, finding out they miss it only once on-site. No matter how skilled technicians are, without the right parts, first-time fix is a KPI impossible to achieve.
Let’s think about the negative impact on the company if once technicians are on-site for the maintenance or repair job, they cannot perform the task due to the lack of the right parts. Technicians need to come back and reschedule the operation, double costs, have fewer resources for other operations, and spend more time.
However, field service solutions can avoid these unexpected events.
The solution
The ML–based spare part suggestion assigns the right parts and amounts required to finalize jobs once technicians get to a worksite. No lost times, no doubts, when technicians leave to perform an operation, they have every part they need to complete a specific job, ensuring the problem is fixed the first time.
The platform learns from historical data about the materials, work orders, planned quantities, and accounted quantities. Using such information to train the Machine Learning engine and to predict both the best material and quantities to perform activities in the field, OverIT ensures that a technician is always thoroughly prepared before heading to a job site, thus enhancing the scheduling process and the mobile user experience.
Impact & KPIs
• Improving first-time fix rate
• Enhancing customer satisfaction
• Reducing costs
• Expediting the execution of operations

The challenge
One of the main pain points of field service organizations is the pursuit of high efficiency, to provide better service and ensure customer satisfaction.
Achieving this goal is not always easy for several reasons, one of which is that field service organizations often have to schedule numerous activities that are similar to each other, by activity, customer, location, asset to be maintained. Both the schedulers and the technicians who perform the activities in the field are dealing with this challenge every day.
How to overcome it? Looking for a better way to schedule and execute this type of jobs as per the following three main use cases.
1. Bundle of multiple activities scheduled in the same location
2. Bundle of multiple activities localized within the same geographical area
3. Bundle of similar activities requiring specific parts and equipment
The solution
The job bundler identifies similar jobs (activity type, same customer, location or asset, etc.) that can be grouped into a bundle, assigning them to a single technician or a team, both manually and automatically. In this way, other operators can handle different work orders, optimizing the schedule, simplifying the management of field technicians, and increasing customer satisfaction.
Impact & KPIs
• Optimizing the schedule
• Improving the efficiency of field operations
• Increasing end-customer satisfaction
• Saving times and costs

The challenge
Safety has always been a focus for field service, but now more than ever it has become more top of mind. Due to several restrictions imposed, after the pandemic organizations worldwide faced huge challenges in terms of safety. Essential for field service management and frontline workers, companies looked for new ways to increase safety standards and conditions and improve overall efficiency, ensuring business continuity and employees’ satisfaction:
• Reducing hazards while in the field
• Minimizing the risk of exposure to dangers
• Ensuring compliance in the workplace
The solution
OverIT Next-Gen FSM Platform has increased the safety of the workforce. Before starting any field work, technicians must complete a safety checklist. Only if all safety conditions are met, they can start working in the field:
• Safety checklists are fully configurable, set up to be easy to use by technicians
• Frontline workers can manage checklists with mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) or through voice-control with hands-free head-mounted tablets
• If a procedure is not completed, technicians cannot ignore it, ensuring that all safety standards are respected
• Furthermore, when frontline workers are checking for safety, they can also record the entire activity, collecting data in real-time. In the end, the video recorded will be a digital report about the activity carried out, which can be sent to any other third-party systems
Impact & KPIs
• Increasing safety standards
• Improving the overall efficiency of activities
• Enhancing employees’ satisfaction
• Simplifying the creation of configurable safety walk checklists
The challenge
Managing mission-critical operations is not always an easy task. Just think about asset inspection audits, maintenance activities, Factory Acceptance Tests, machine status checks, monitoring of spare parts, vehicles, when technicians are out in the field to perform several jobs in a day and in mobility, they need a support, in terms of:
• Being guided in the execution of operations without forgetting all needed steps,
• Debriefing large amount of data (such as pressures, asset operating status, voltage, etc.),
• Collecting and saving important information, in order to validate the work carried out.
The solution
The Next-Gen FSM Platform can easily create job guide, fully configurable. With the support of a dedicated to-do list, OverIT guides technicians in the execution of tasks, streamlining and accelerating data collection processes when it comes to manage mission-critical operations (inspection audits, Quality and Factoring Acceptance Tests, and monitoring of spare parts, vehicles):
• Job guides are set up to be easy to use by technicians
• Few steps are required to finalize the procedure, and at the end of the activity a report with full information is automatically created collecting all the information provided
• Technicians can manage job guides with mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) or through voice-control with hands-free head-mounted tablets.
• If a procedure is not completed, you cannot ignore it, ensuring that every part of the work is performed before closing the task
• Furthermore, when technicians are performing their tasks and validating them through checklists, they can also record entire activities, collecting data in real-time. In the end, the video recorded will be a digital report about the work carried out, which can be sent to any other third-party systems
Impact & KPIs
• Simplifying the execution of operations in the field
• Improving the efficiency of mission-critical operations
• Enhancing the user experience
• Empowering the creation of configurable self-resolution checklists
