Why are key indicators essential?
The life of a company can sometimes feel like a big juggling act, with data, impatient customers, and technicians running from one job to the next. That’s where key indicators come in to keep you from losing your footing. They’re a bit like your internal GPS: they tell you if you’re heading in the right direction or if you need to turn back. Without them, you might find yourself wondering why your margins are melting faster than ice cream in the summer sun.
The key indicators to track for your field service operations
Intervention success rate
Why it matters: This indicator shows whether your interventions are completed successfully on the first try, without issues. The higher this rate, the better for customer satisfaction and your company’s reputation.
What to watch: A high success rate can hide delays or rushed interventions. Make sure to cross-reference this indicator with data on response times to ensure quality is being maintained.
Average distance traveled
Why it matters: The less time your technicians spend on the road, the more they can focus on their core tasks. Optimizing routes helps reduce costs and improve productivity.
- Cost reduction: fuel, vehicle wear and tear.
- Improved quality of life: less fatigue for your teams.
- Resource optimization: assign your technicians where they’re truly needed.
Number of interventions completed per day and per field worker
Why it matters: This indicator measures your teams’ daily productivity. But beware, quantity should never come at the expense of quality.
Tip: Cross-reference this indicator with quality metrics to ensure each intervention is well executed, rather than just chasing numbers.
Profitability per intervention
Why it matters: Ultimately, you want each intervention to bring in more than it costs. This indicator helps you identify unprofitable interventions and adjust your strategies accordingly.
Monitor: the overall cost of each intervention (travel, labor, materials) and make decisions to optimize the profitability of your operations.
Customer satisfaction rate
Why it matters: Measuring customer satisfaction after each intervention is essential to understand how your services are perceived.
- Adjust your processes
- Better meet your customers’ expectations
- Ensure continuous improvement of your service quality

How do key indicators help improve performance?
Every sector has its own rules of the game. A plumber in Paris won’t face the same challenges as an industrial maintenance team in the countryside. That’s why your key indicators need to be customized and adapted to your reality. The idea isn’t to copy what your neighbor is doing, but to track what truly matters to you. And trust me, with the right indicators, you’ll be able to anticipate problems before they escalate. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.

Tips for choosing the right indicators
You might be tempted to track everything, analyze everything. But let’s be realistic: if you try to do too much, you end up seeing nothing at all. The key is to start with what seems essential to you, then adjust as you go. Start with simple indicators that you understand well, and let Cadulis guide you. Gradually, you’ll enrich your dashboards with more complex indicators, but always relevant to your operations. After all, it’s like building a house: better to lay a solid foundation before adding the upper floors.
Avoiding common pitfalls in indicator tracking
The most common pitfall? Being too greedy from the start. It’s a bit like at a buffet: you pile things on, and in the end, you don’t know where to begin. An excess of irrelevant indicators only clouds your judgment. It’s better to track a few, well-chosen ones than to spread yourself too thin. With Cadulis, you can gradually adjust your tracking and refine your management tools as you become more proficient. We promise, it’ll be easier to digest!
The importance of real-time data
We’ve all experienced the frustration: taking a day off for a delivery or installation… only for it to be canceled at the last minute. Thanks to real-time data, these scenarios can be avoided. Reacting quickly to an unexpected situation not only preserves your customer relationship but also prevents financial losses. With Cadulis, you’re always informed of incidents as soon as they occur, allowing you to make the right decisions without wasting time.
Conclusion
Key indicators are essential for efficiently managing your field service operations. By choosing the right ones and relying on flexible tools like Cadulis, you ensure your company benefits from optimized, responsive, and above all, profitable management. But let’s not forget that even with the best indicators in the world, things don’t always go as planned. And when that happens… well, take a deep breath, grab a coffee break (or tea, we don’t judge), and come back with a clear mind. After all, every problem is a disguised opportunity to improve your processes – or at least, that’s what we tell ourselves for reassurance. And that’s where Cadulis truly shines: it helps you keep your head above water, even when things get a little rough.
