Customer Management

Accessing accurate customer information greatly enhances every customer interaction, enabling agents to access previous job data, past requests and payment records for deeper insights. Having details like this from a single console equips teams with valuable data to enhance their service to the customer.

Scheduling and Dispatching

The Dispatch Console serves as a robust platform for businesses, offering capabilities beyond just creating work orders and scheduling appointments. It efficiently manages agents and teams, allowing businesses to leverage real-time data presented in various views, including the Gantt view, to optimise resource scheduling.

Work Order Management

By utilising the Work Order Management tool, businesses can streamline their ordering processes by enabling customers to specify essential details such as requested times and special instructions. This ensures that the business can precisely meet the customer's needs.

Workforce Management

Managing a workforce can be challenging, but with the workforce management tool, businesses can simplify this task. It offers user profiles tailored to the specific business roles. By default, the tool comes with five preset profiles, but additional profiles can be created to align with the unique requirements of the business.

Scheduled Maintenance

Certain businesses may require scheduling regular maintenance for customers. With this tool, businesses can specify particular dates and times to accommodate preferences and create templates to ensure customer satisfaction.

Operations

Invoices and Payments

With integrated invoicing and payment features, businesses can convert work orders into detailed, branded invoices, which can then be sent to customers. This functionality allows businesses to choose payment terms that suit their preferences and accept payments both online and offline, accommodating multiple currencies.

Services and Inventory

The software provides a simple approach to monitor and track parts and equipment needed for services, utilising a serial number tracking feature to maintain a consistent supply of equipment for businesses. By storing part details within the system, businesses can effectively utilise this information to fulfill estimates or work orders.

Dashboard and Reports

With integrated dashboards, businesses can conveniently access summaries of the key metrics driving their company directly from the home screen. This feature enables businesses to promptly evaluate work order statuses, monitor field agents' check-in and check-out times, and track monthly revenue, facilitating an assessment of the business's growth.

Employees

FSM Mobile App

With a built-in mobile application available for both Android and iOS, businesses can access all the necessary tools conveniently in the palm of their hands, making the job more convenient. This enhances field productivity and reduces the reliance on paperwork for agents.

Working On The Field

When field agents are assigned a job, they receive notifications on the app. This enables them to access all job-related details, including customer information, the asset requiring service, necessary parts, and the job location. Additionally, the app can serve as a timesheet, ensuring that agents are working on the designated tasks.

Invoicing and Follow-Ups

Delayed payments due to delayed invoices are now a thing of the past. Field agents can now complete the payment process on-site, allowing pre-populated invoices to be generated and sent directly to the customer from the mobile app. Additionally, agents can use the app to create scheduled maintenances if requested by the customer.
Customers

Timely Notifications

With the software, businesses can configure timely notifications to keep customers informed at every stage of their request, sending alerts via email notifications or even through text messages.

Effective Customer Services

In addition to sending estimates, field agents can also send feedback requests to gather data about the service provided. By utilising these reports, businesses can customise their services to better meet the needs of future customers.

Memorable Services

Guarantee customer satisfaction by providing them with a top-notch service, ensuring they receive the most suitable agents for their request in a prompt and organised manner.

Customisation

Custom Fields

Tailor modules by adding or removing fields, enabling businesses to gather any important additional data crucial to their operations and ensuring efficient organisation within the system.

Automation

Optimise business operations and boost efficiency through the use of automation. Workflow automation simplifies repetitive tasks and guarantees precise outcomes by automatically executing customised rules tailored to meet the specific needs of each business.

Console Customisation

Businesses can personalise the information displayed on their Dispatch Console, thereby improving the user experience. This customisation can be tailored to meet the unique needs of the business, ensuring that statuses and views align precisely with the business's requirements.

Zoho FSM Queries

Is Zoho FSM Free?
Zoho FSM is free, providing basic functionalities such as request handling, order creation, service and part management, and workflow automation. However, users at this tier are restricted to 30 appointments. To access more features, businesses can upgrade to the standard tier at £24/month, offering unlimited appointments along with workforce management tools and enhanced customisation options. For further enhancements, the professional tier, priced at £36/month, includes all features from the previous tiers, alongside improved inventory management, maintenance plans, and time-based workflows.
Is Zoho FSM Included In Zoho One?

Businesses interested in using the software can either opt for the free tier or subscribe to one of the paid tiers, providing businesses with the flexibility to choose the plan that best aligns with their needs and requirements. For more details on available plans, please refer to the previous question.
Can I Import And Export Data In Zoho FSM?
Indeed, the software offers functionalities for importing data into different modules, including Contacts, Companies, Assets, and Services & Parts. This capability allows businesses to seamlessly transfer existing data into the system, facilitating a smooth transition. Furthermore, data from these modules can be exported in CSV format, providing businesses with flexibility to manage and analyse their data externally, as required.
What Is The Difference Between Parts And Assets?
The difference between parts and assets lies in their utilisation within a service context. Parts are used to provide or execute a service, encompassing items like thermostats or paint. Moreover, parts can be cataloged as items available for sale. Conversely, assets are items that are either sold or leased, such as products like air dryers or air coolers. While assets can be added as parts, each individual part, like an air cooler, can also be added as an asset for individual monitoring. Click here to read more.
What Is The Difference Between Cancellations And Terminations In Zoho FSM?
In Zoho FSM, a cancellation refers to a scenario where a customer decides not to proceed with a service and requests its cancellation. On the other hand, a termination occurs when an agent is unable to complete a service and is required to terminate it prematurely.
How Do I Store Work Instructions For A Job In FSM?
FSM provides a convenient method to store task-specific completion instructions. Within the "Work Orders" section, users can add a new multi-line module to the order form. By labeling this module as "Instructions," businesses can store any pertinent instructions for particular tasks. These instructions remain accessible and can be reviewed each time the service is utilised, ensuring that all task-related guidelines are readily available for reference. To read more, click here.
Is There A Service Report Image Limit?
The current attachment limit for images on service reports is set at 10 megabytes. However, there are effective workarounds available. One method involves navigating to the "Settings" section and accessing the "Image Upload Resolution" option. By selecting the "Small" option, FSM automatically converts any images attached to the service order into their smallest possible form, thus reducing their file size. To read more, click here.
