Case study: how an IT repair company transformed its management with a field service software
Managing a team of field technicians is not an easy task, especially when the tools used are not suitable. Discover in this case study how a small IT repair and equipment installation company managed to increase its profitability and improve customer satisfaction thanks to Cadulis, a field service management software designed to meet the challenges of modern businesses.
A company facing common challenges
The company in question has a manager and five technicians specialized in IT repair and equipment installation. Before adopting Cadulis, it managed its field operations with basic tools: rudimentary digital schedules, oral transmission of information, and paper intervention reports. These methods, though common, quickly showed their limitations.
Here are the main difficulties encountered:
- Lack of route optimization: The schedules did not take into account the distances between interventions, resulting in unnecessary kilometers and wasted time. Imagine that at the end of a one-hour intervention, your technician discovers he has an hour's drive to his next assignment! Impossible to be on time. It's also frustrating when the technician returns several days in a row to an area far from his base. An optimization software could have grouped the interventions and optimized the trips.
- Poor technician preparation: Storing information about previous interventions on paper makes it difficult to consult. Technicians often arrived without context, which could annoy customers. And to find information from a previous intervention, it could take hours to find the paper report, sometimes with difficulties reading handwritten comments. Paper reports do not allow photos to be attached.
- Time-consuming administrative tasks: When there is no link between interventions and accounting, it slows down invoicing and reminders, putting the company's cash flow at risk.
The transition to Cadulis: a turnkey solution
Faced with these challenges, the manager decided to turn to Cadulis, a field service management software designed to automate and optimize operations. The installation was quick, and the team noticed improvements within the first few weeks.
Smart scheduling
The scheduling assistant, based on an optimization algorithm, is a key feature of Cadulis. Thanks to it, schedules are optimized by taking into account the distances between interventions, technicians' working hours, and required skills. Result: a 25% reduction in kilometers traveled, saving not only time but also reducing travel costs.
Real-time access to information
With Cadulis, each technician has real-time access to intervention details via a mobile app. The intervention history can be viewed in a few clicks, allowing technicians to arrive better prepared at the customer's site. No more excuses like "I wasn't aware": the information is clear, accessible, and automatically updated.
Simplified administrative management
Intervention reports are no longer filled out by hand but directly on Cadulis. In addition, the software integrates perfectly with invoicing tools such as Pennylane, thus speeding up the generation and tracking of invoices. Invoicing times have been reduced by 50%, which has helped improve the company's cash flow.
The results: numbers that speak for themselves
By adopting Cadulis, this IT repair company achieved significant results:
- Increase in interventions: By optimizing routes and reducing wasted time, the company was able to perform 20% more interventions each week.
- Reduction in delays: Better organized schedules led to a notable improvement in technician punctuality.
- Increased customer satisfaction: Thanks to better technician preparation and respected deadlines, positive customer reviews increased by 30%.
