Streamlining business with workflow management software
Author: Sebastian Street
Effective workflow management software is capable of streamlining processes from beginning to end, breaking down complex routines and schedules into simple bite sized tasks. Everyone is looking for business success. Automating tasks and simplifying business workflow will increase workforce productivity and reduce costs helping you deliver more for less.
For a business managing a mobile workforce this means that from that first customer contact, scheduling and despatch through to reporting and analytics the whole process could be simplified providing the user with a clear and complete view of exactly what is happening within the business in real time. Some field service management systems available today offer innovative workflow management solutions integrated as part of the system.
Intuitive and easy to use workflow software lends itself to field service management businesses where automated communications such as SMS text confirmation of appointments are used as well as two way SMS technology, configurable emails to workers and/or customers at various stages, flexible surveys and electronic audit trail maintaining all communication, works and events at every stage.
In this fast moving ever changing environment forget manual, paper based business processes slowing everyone down and stilting productivity, where there is no accountability for the workforce in the field once despatched, where customers have to call in for a follow up appointment. Reliable, flexible and smart workflow software eliminates these obstacles and provides the user with visibility.
Out of date on premise software that requires an in house IT team is extremely costly and rigid, the alternative is taking to the cloud. Software as a service (SaaS) is proving to be extremely popular particularly for SME's and start ups; low costs, speedy implementation and flexibility are a winning formula. With a subscription based software costs are simple – you only pay for what you use. Upgrades and help desk come as part of that subscription and as your business grows you can add further capacity.

There are many options on the market. Plus many technology companies developing and providing ground breaking, award-winning software aimed at supporting service management business with workflow right through to service delivery.
