Customer service is about more than just providing good quality products in the current dynamic business environment. Customers want convenience and effectiveness at all service delivery points they interact with.
This expectation becomes even more important in industries such as telecommunication, manufacturing, utilities, and healthcare, where technicians are required to visit customers’ premises for installation, repairs, or maintenance. To successfully address customers’ expectations, these field operations must be managed effectively, which is where Salesforce Field Service Lightning Services (formerly known as Field Service Lightning) comes into play.

Overview
Salesforce Field Service is a powerful application that links field service management with office staff and clients. Based on Salesforce development services, it integrates well with other Salesforce solutions: Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, and Einstein AI. The platform enables firms to schedule technicians, track equipment, and manage real-time service delivery information, making it an ideal Salesforce Field Service Lightning Solution.
Key tools offered by Salesforce Field Service Lightning include:
- Automated Scheduling and Dispatching: Optimize the work schedules of technicians to determine which technician is best suited for a specific job in terms of availability, qualifications, and job location.
