Streamlining Sales to Service Handover & Field Agent Management

Background

Briggs Fire and Security, a leading fire and security system servicing, maintenance, and installation company, sought to enhance its operational efficiency by implementing a comprehensive solution for seamless Sales to Service handover and effective management of field agents. This case study explores the successful implementation of Salesforce Core platform and Salesforce Field Services by Adapt-IQ, enabling automation, streamlined processes, and improved customer experience for Briggs Fire and Security.

Objectives

The primary objective was to optimise the Sales to Service handover process and enhance job assignment for field agents while effectively managing costing and invoicing. Briggs Fire and Security aimed to achieve a seamless transition from sales to service, automate contracts and work order management, improve job assignment efficiency, and enable a 360-degree view for customers.

Outcome

Adapt-IQ implemented a new build on Salesforce Core platform, replacing the legacy Field Service ISV App, to provide scalability and meet the evolving needs of Briggs Fire and Security. The solution encompassed Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Field Service Lightning (FSL), enabling a range of outcomes.

Seamless Handover: The implementation facilitated a smooth transition from sales to service, ensuring relevant information is seamlessly transferred to the service team, eliminating manual handover processes, and reducing the risk of miscommunication.

Additionally, it allowed for the override of job assignments and offered insights into maintenance contracts to identify opportunities related to warranty expiration and end-of-life products.
