Challenges faced.
Western Liner’s challenge was a lack of up-to-date time sheet and billing data. With a geographically dispersed workforce, a paper-based system of recording meant that this resulted in significant double handling of data, first on the initial recording of time in the field, and then transcribing this content to excel for head office. This not only was prone to time lags, but human error in data handling as well.
Western Liner needed to go electronic to eliminate these inefficiencies, and centralise all key customer related data, included jobs and time logs in an online system. This is where Fieldmagic came in, working closely to transform the way jobs were scheduled and managed for the billing department.
What were the top reasons Western Liner selected Fieldmagic?
Fieldmagic provided an end-end solution that now manages new business enquiry tracking, quoting, and the scheduling of jobs to the field team for time and materials tracking and job notes. Being based on a CRM, Western Liner have also taken advantage of the configurable reporting engine, to build specific CSV reports for the billing team to aid in reducing the effort needed to compile billing reports for the Western Liner customer base.
“The main reason we selected Fieldmagic was the Fieldmagic Mobile App. It was by far the easiest and most intuitive app we have used, and provided great functionality when it came to providing checklists of install requirements to our field workers. The app continues to improve, and we are looking forward to seeing where we can go with the platform. “
