Optimise your field operations with intelligent scheduling, mobile workforce management, and predictive maintenance powered by AI and IoT.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service is a cloud-based platform that transforms field operations with intelligent scheduling, mobile workforce management, and predictive maintenance. It enables service organisations to move from reactive break-fix models to proactive and predictive service delivery, improving first-time fix rates and customer satisfaction.
Service organisations with 10 to 1,000+ technicians who dispatch field workers for installations, repairs, maintenance, or inspections. Companies managing assets across multiple sites that need preventative and predictive maintenance. Organisations looking to reduce travel time, increase first-time fix rates, and deliver proactive service.
Create, schedule, and track work orders with configurable service tasks, checklists, parts requirements, and SLA tracking.
Resource Scheduling Optimisation (RSO) automatically assigns the right technician based on skills, location, availability, priority, and SLA commitments.
Offline-capable mobile app for technicians with work order details, asset history, guided procedures, customer sign-off, and photo/video capture.
Connect IoT sensors to monitor asset health in real time, trigger automated work orders on anomalies, and prevent equipment failures before they happen.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service is licensed per user per month. The full licence includes work orders, scheduling, mobile app, and Copilot AI. A contractor licence is available for third-party technicians who need limited access. Veriland Consulting helps you select the right licence mix.
