Salesforce Field Service
Your dispatch board is a spreadsheet. Your techs are guessing.
Field Service is supposed to connect the contact center, the schedule, and the technician in the truck. Most deployments get a work-order object and a mobile app nobody finishes using. We implement Field Service so scheduling, parts, and service history stay in sync with Service Cloud, and the field stops calling the desk for information Salesforce already has.
POD pricing. A prepaid bucket of points redeemed for finished, deployed features, every one priced and approved before we build. First production release in week one.
Sound familiar?
The truck rolls. The system doesn't.
Dispatchers live in spreadsheets.
Optimization rules exist in theory; the real schedule is rebuilt every morning in Excel.
Techs avoid the mobile app.
Too many required fields, offline that isn't really offline, and work orders that don't match the job.
Parts and assets are folklore.
Nobody trusts the installed base, so every visit starts with discovery instead of a plan.
The contact center can't see the field.
Customers call for ETAs; agents open three systems and still can't answer.
SLAs are theater.
Entitlements say one thing; scheduling capacity says another; breaches are explained after the fact.
The build
Work orders, schedules, and trucks on one service record.
Scheduling & optimization
Scheduling policies, skill matching, travel buffers, and dispatcher consoles that replace the morning spreadsheet ritual.
Mobile technician experience
Field Service mobile configured for how techs actually work: offline-capable flows, fewer required taps, inventory actions, and completion that captures what finance and warranty need.
Assets & installed base
Asset hierarchy, warranties, and maintenance plans so the next visit starts with history, not a blank page.
Parts & inventory
Trunk stock, van inventory, and parts required on work orders, integrated enough that a missing part isn't discovered on site for the third time.
Entitlements & SLAs
Entitlement processes tied to scheduling capacity, breach alerts that fire early enough to act, and reporting ops leadership trusts.
Customer communication
Appointment reminders, ETA updates, and Experience Cloud or messaging touchpoints so customers aren't calling for status. Experience Cloud →
Contractor & capacity models
Internal techs and partner capacity in one scheduling picture when your model includes subcontractors.
Analytics & ops cadence
First-time fix, travel time, utilization, and backlog dashboards, plus the weekly written delivery report.
Cutover & enablement
Dispatcher training, tech champions, and a parallel-run plan that doesn't strand trucks mid-day on go-live.
Month one
While the SI redraws the territory map, dispatch gets a real console.
- Week 1
Embedded & observed.
Ride along with dispatch and a tech day. DAISA maps work-order debt and mobile friction. First field and desk fixes ship.
- Week 2
Scheduling takes shape.
Core scheduling policies live for a pilot territory. Mobile completion path simplified.
- Week 3
Assets and visibility.
Installed-base improvements and contact-center visibility into appointments. Documentation automatic.
- Week 4
Executive review.
Written report of everything shipped and a 90-day field operations roadmap.
POD pricing
The only Field Service engagement where you pay per feature delivered.
You tell us the results you need: schedule adherence, first-time fix, mobile completion rate, ETA inquiry volume. Each one gets a point cost you approve before we build, and your prepaid bucket of points redeems for finished, deployed features over the term.
A ceiling, not a meter.
A set number of points for the term, decided before we start.
Every cost approved up front.
Features are pointed before we build. You approve every price.
No change orders. Ever.
New priority moves to the front. Nothing becomes an invoice.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Before the briefing.
We already bought Field Service licenses. Why is adoption still low?
Usually design: mobile flows that punish techs, scheduling rules that dispatchers override, and work types that don't match the job. We fix the friction, not run another training deck.
Can you integrate our existing FSM or ERP?
Yes when that's the honest architecture. Sometimes Salesforce Field Service should own scheduling; sometimes it should sync. We'll say which before we bill discovery theater.
How do you handle offline and poor coverage?
Mobile configuration and process design for intermittent connectivity, with clear rules for what must sync before the tech leaves the site.
Do you implement Contractor or just employee techs?
Both. Mixed capacity models are common in our utility and facilities work.
What does it cost?
Launch Implementations are fixed-price scoped projects. Managed PODs run from $5k/month fractional coverage to enterprise scale. See the calculator →
Your next truck roll shouldn't start with a phone call to dispatch.
Bring us a day-in-the-life of a dispatcher and a tech. We'll show you what a Field Service POD ships in month one and put a priced delivery plan on paper.
