Salesforce Field Service implementation for repair and maintenance teams
Field Service (FSL) is a Reewamp specialisation within our Salesforce practice. We set up work orders, territories, scheduling policies, the dispatcher console and the mobile app so planners handle exceptions instead of building schedules by hand. For a German home-energy company, we took the repair and maintenance team live in eight weeks and raised dispatching rate and coverage by 25%.

What you get
Schedules built by rules
Scheduling policies weigh travel, skills, priorities and customer windows, so the optimiser fills the Gantt consistently.More jobs, more coverage
Better territory design and optimisation put more appointments on the same team. Our reference project saw dispatching rate and coverage rise 25%.Technicians with what they need
Job details, asset history, checklists, photos and signatures in the Field Service mobile app, with work closed on site.Work that turns into revenue
Completed work orders flow into invoicing and accounting, so finished jobs are billed without retyping.
