Field Service News is pleased to announce our latest white paper, published in partnership with ServiceNow that looks at three key areas in which IoT can enhance service delivery...
A study by Field Service News Research in 2021 revealed that the field service sector, has now firmly embraced IoT. In that study, which had input from over 280 field service professionals, 76% of field service companies now had some connectivity with their install base.
It would appear the first phase of IoT adoption is getting closer to completion. Certainly, the underlying infrastructure is largely established.
Indeed, we are also seeing signs of how this technological innovation can begin to reshape the field service sector. Another study hosted by Field Service Research, this one running also in 2021, identified that 65% of over 130 field service companies were leveraging remote diagnostics and IoT to develop a remote service offering.
Yet, despite the recent acceleration of digital transformation within the field service sector, driven mainly by necessity during the pandemic, it could be argued that still these are just the embryotic days of a new era of IoT-connected field service.
With the foundations of an IoT infrastructure in place, we can begin to truly explore the potential of IoT within the field service sector, but what does that look like and how will that impact the way we manage assets, the way we manage our field workers and perhaps most importantly of all, how we help our customers towards success.
Field Service News, in partnership with ServiceNow, has recently published a paper in which we will take a forward look to a future that could be possible as we learn to leverage IoT.
This paper is not a deep dive into the technology itself, instead, we will take a simplified example to outline what could be possible to help you facilitate the wider thinking and reflection of how such principles could be applied to your own business.
At the end of the paper, you will find a series of reflection points to allow you to further refine how you could see the adoption of IoT enhancing your service operations in terms of asset management, workforce management and customer success.

Organizations are at an inflection point when it comes to the service experience.

The field and customer service operation has seen a dramatic shift in the past 15 months. Due to the pandemic, the ability to physically get access to equipment or a customer site has been limited or, in some cases, restricted completely. As regions of the world reemerge into a "next normal" state at different rates, organizations will operate using a variety of service models that rely on remote resolution, collaboration, and engagement. A change is occurring across industries whereby the customer experience is becoming a critical differentiator, and the way organizations engage customers will become a higher priority. Customers expect organizations to solve the stated problem efficiently and enhance the experience by going beyond the work order to establish a partnership that requires little effort on the customer's part.
In this transformed business landscape, manufacturers and service organizations will need to address the following challenges to achieve success and relevance with customers:
-
» Enabling data and knowledge accessibility for all relevant stakeholders
-
» Eliminating silos across service, customer support, and other functions that hinder a shared and enhanced customer experience
-
» Automating manual processes and static work instructions that delay responses and resolution
-
» Contending with an aging workforce and a related knowledge drain
-
» Addressing the need to be more customer focused to personalize experiences and deliver enhanced value at each engagement point
-
» Providing service employees and customers with new tools that optimize remote and self-solve support, moving from a reactive break/fix service model to a more proactive and predictive approach
KEY STATS
According to IDC's May 2021 Product and Service Innovation Survey, the top 6 drivers for service management solutions are:
-
» Enabling faster response to product quality and service issues — 58.9%
-
» Improving key customer metrics such as NPS, customer effort, and CSAT — 55.7%
-
» Establishing more capabilities around remote service, collaboration, and resolution — 53.2%
-
» Improving collaboration between cross-functional teams — 52.5%
-
» Using information from actual product and asset performance — 51.7%
-
» Capturing and making accessible service knowledge and best practices — 49.2%
Watch out for the next feature next week where we discuss some of the top business priorities for manufacturers and service organizations in this "next normal" environment.

Pinnacle Group has transformed its customer experience and increased operational efficiency following the implementation of the latest field service management software from BigChange.
Pinnacle Group has transformed its customer experience and increased operational efficiency following the implementation of the latest field service management software from BigChange.Supporting over 300,000 homes, 200 schools and 100 public and private buildings, Pinnacle is one of the UK’s largest facilities management providers. Using BigChange, Pinnacle has achieved a significant improvement in transparency and communication with clients by delivering live operational information and has overcome challenges resulting from the pandemic which saw a reduced workforce facing an increased workload.
USING BIGCHANGE'S FIELD SERVICE SOFTWARE, PINNACLE CAN RECORD, MONITOR AND CONTROL EVERY TASK IN REAL-TIME
“Since implementing BigChange we have seen real time savings and productivity gains resulting in better quality of service, reduced resources and costs, and increased client and customer satisfaction,” commented Raaj Bharania, Pinnacle Group Business Manager. “This can be directly translated into contract extensions and new contract awards.”
Pinnacle is a community-facing, people-first business that delivers, manages and maintains communities and places – including multi-tenure housing, schools, open spaces, public and private buildings, retail schemes, distribution centres, manufacturing plants, utilities and broadband networks – as well as a range of complementary employment and wellbeing outcomes. Formed in 1994, Pinnacle operates nationwide with major hubs in London, Chelmsford, Slough, Birmingham, Leeds, Morecambe, Stoke and Carlisle. Pinnacle provides integrated Facilities Management across all sectors and the frontline operation makes around 1,400 call outs per day with an 80/20 split between scheduled and reactive.
Since implementing the complete job management solution, which incorporates customer relationship management (CRM), job scheduling, live tracking, field resource management, financial management and business intelligence in one simple to use and easy to integrate platform, Pinnacle can record, monitor and control every task in real-time. Details of site inspections and service delivery visits are captured, recorded and reported, complete with before and after photos, using a traffic light system allowing operatives to self-certify works.
“By giving clients access to the BigChange platform we have been able to reduce the time spent monitoring and reporting as they can access the information they need when they need it,” said Area Manager Marcin Rosiak whilst Business Manager Seundouss Laroussi added, “BigChange has been transformational for us, and our clients, and we cannot imagine our operation without it!”
BigChange has already been deployed on over 90 percent of Pinnacles soft FM contracts where it has been tailored to meet specific KPIs, SLAs and reporting requirements and roll out on the remaining 10 percent is ongoing. Further planned work includes the transition to a completely paperless operation and the use of BigChange to improve workforce engagement and health and safety management.
