We use Salesforce Field Service to keep track of our customer information, dealer information, running reports, campaigns, etc. Salesforce Field Service ties into our Salesforce CRM and the other Salesforce programs we use like Marketing Cloud, Sales, etc. Salesforce is essential for our business because we can see which customers purchased from what dealer and keep track of all that information. We also can run reports to see what areas sell better, what tactics work, how many of each product we sell, and to who so we can market it better.

I rated this an 8 because I love Salesforce, and it is excellent on the CRM side. However, the Salesforce Field Service has some pros and cons. It is terrific for keeping track of lead, customer, and dealer information, but it is not easy to automate workflows or set new things up. It is also straightforward to generate reports, which is very helpful in keeping track of lead progression to better market those leads and turn them into customers.

We use Salesforce Field Service primarily as a timekeeping and scheduling tool for our field installers. Schedulers use the desktop version to schedule various custom appointment types, and crews receive the appointment information directly in the app. Crews upload photos and complete detailed, step-by-step work instructions using the tool. Overall, the app greatly improves field-to-office (and vice versa) communication and information sharing. It has become the go-to resource for our field staff.

Very well suited for use cases where field employees are expected to receive appointment information, communicate with office staff, and provide photo evidence or other documentation of the work performed. The mobile app is also very well suited to handle timekeeping (logging hours and seeing weekly timesheets) and employee availability.

I use this app as part of a gig work community. When dispatched to a job, we use this app to track items to fix, resolution time, pictures, comments or anything that needs to be tracked in relation to the job. This has removed issues with lost notes, emails and stores content in one place for everyone.

Well suited to employees who are out of the office where a traditional laptop is not well suited. For instance technicians who regularly visit a customers home, business or site where there is no wifi. Also anyone who has to deal forms or paper invoices could benefit from this, go paper less. Less to lose, use to use.

We are using it for one of our clients to schedule the appointments of their nurses and assign them the appointments according to their availability. It is useful for real-time tracking, provides field service, and utilizes your resources well . We can change the appointment according to our resource requirements and utilize their time fully. We can use it for the clients who want to see their representative in a single dashboard and assign them the appointment according to their availability. Its mobile app is very good it can give the representative the customer details, and knowledge Articles, and update the status in real-time. we can send automated delay or reach notifications to our customers.

In our scenario, it is very well suited because we want to make the appointments of nurses and utilize their time fully, so Salesforce Field Service Lightning is providing the dashboard where we can see how many appointments are assigned and what the free slots. Once they do their service they can update their status so back office team get a real-time notification, so they can proceed for further process It also enhances our customer satisfaction because the customer can receive delay or reach notification. We also automated the process to assign the representative according to our customer requirements we are checking the skill set of our representative and the more suited one will be assigned for the appointment.

We use Salesforce Field Service entirely for our salesteam for quoting, prospecting, tracking, reports, service inventory and connection to our ERP.

Primarily, our salesteam uses this for tracking all of the details during prospecting, such as adding notes to each record for follow up calls, tracking of upcoming events, meetings, quotes and deal size. We have also recently connected a quoting module that allows them to do everything from within Salesforce Field Service, which most importantly the quotes then stay within Salesforce Field Service so management and admin can go directly to them anytime they need to.

This is the most popular tool that has stood the test of time and has the most flexibility with other products and APIs. Other products we used in the past were not as up to date and not as reliable. Also, the API connections are almost endless. The 800lb gorilla does have these advantages.

It is integrated with our sct app which is used for timeshare presentations. Salesforce Field Service allows managers to see what processes the sales executive are currently working on with the guests. This allows the manager during the hand-off to have a "warm" introduction with the guests and seemingly start to hand off the client to close the sale. This also allows them to do everything within one app.

The best case usage is for tracking your clients and sales. The niche advantage at [...] is that it gives the sales leader real time feedback to help them try to close the sale because they know exactly what the sales executive was offering without needing to talk to them. This used to be a big problem for us.

Implemented primarily for field crew scheduling and timekeeping. Has evolved to be our primary means of scheduling and completing fieldwork, including a newly created Operations & Maintenance (O&M) program. Has helped us standardize our appointment types as well as safety and quality practices. We use labor hours to estimate install efficiency and compare across crews as well.

Because troubleshooting the mobile app remotely can be really challenging, the tool would be best suited for companies that have a main office where folks can get together and discuss issues in person. Desktop experience is complex but otherwise functions very well. Mobile app error handling could definitely be improved.

We have implemented solutions for our business through Salesforce Field Service solving real life problems like Defect liability period (DLP) for Real estate domain. Previously as well, Salesforce FSL had been used as the tool to improve on the existing legacy system to dispatch technicians from Business side when they faced complaints/issues which the Business is liable for.

1) I am a homeowner, who has moved in less than 1 year ago so my maintenance (DLP period) is still active. I face issues in my home and call the service center to fix the issue (can be any kind of issue like furniture or electrical etc.). The whole process that happens after this after this initial case is raised is taken care by Salesforce FSL which is amazing.

2) Not only for real estate, but same scenarios can work for any industry like even utilities (water management company) who are responsible for home water. So if water is hard, customer calls the service center, a case is raised on and then on managed via Salesforce field service.
