It was exciting to be mentioned in the following article which appeared in the Ways To Grow Your Business section of the Intuit Accountants News Central. ebs Associates has had great success helping businesses implement Intuit Field Service Management, and looks forward to is increasing popularity and use among different industries.
What is Intuit Field Service Management?
Many companies and their technicians in the service industry are quickly embracing mobile technology solutions. Computing everywhere, more specifically mobility, was ranked by Gartner and Forbes magazine as the #1 Strategic Technology Trend for 2015. Gartner defines a strategic technology trend as “one with the potential for significant impact on the organization in the next three years.”
Intuit Field Service Management (IFSM) is the perfect cloud-hosted solution for tech-savvy service company owners who are looking to go mobile and significantly improve field service management productivity, increase cash flow, and eliminate stacks and stacks of paperwork.
Customers are raving about Intuit Field Service Management and the mobile service solutions it offers service-based companies. Historically, companies in the HVAC, electric and plumbing industries were our largest prospects and customers. Moving into 2015, we are seeing great growth with other industries, including security, audio/visual and home automation, and door repair and installation. Basically, any field service-based companies that make service calls to residential and commercial customers have a need for work order scheduling and maintaining a dispatching system that allows them to get more work done, get paid faster and automate payroll processing.
Most recently, ebs Associates, Inc., a QuickBooks ProAdvisor® and Premier Intuit® Reseller Partner, had the opportunity to deliver and implement Intuit Field Service Management with one of its clients, Innovative Air, a heating and cooling contractor in Eugene, Oregon. Innovative Air has been extremely happy with its IFSM solution and particularly pleased with the mobility capabilities. Ramona Gee at Innovative recently took the time to let us know just how delighted they are with IFSM.
“Wve been using Intuit Field Service Management since the end of 2013,” said Ramona Gee of Innovative Air. “Our reason for changing our dispatch program was to improve our contact with our field technicians and to eventually achieve better reports. I think that IFSM has accomplished the goal of communication in the field quite well. Being web-based, we have much quicker and reliable communication with our techs. We also have greatly appreciated the training of our staff and our techs by ebs Associates.
