  • Reduced Customer Anxiety – Eliminates uncertainty and frustration over wait times. 
  • Faster Decision-Making – Helps dispatch teams quickly adjust schedules or reroute technicians. 
  • Enhanced Operational Efficiency – Streamlines workflow and improves team coordination. 

How to Implement Real-Time Updates: 

  • Use Field Service Management Software – Platforms like Salesforce Field Service and Dynamics 365 offer real-time tracking and scheduling.
