Are you a current ServiceFactor user? ServiceFactor Mobile is a companion to your ServiceFactor web system, built for your field technicians. ServiceFactor Mobile helps increase cash flow by automatically creating an invoice at the time of service and allows the technician the ability to process payments in the field. When a technician receives the service call information, they also receive notes about the customer, history and what equipment is located at the site. The technician can update their dispatch status, as well as enter material and flat rate repairs used (if applicable) against the specific piece of equipment for which it was used. All work can be approved by capturing a customer signature prior to performing recommended repairs, and the technician can also prepare a quote for the customer. If the quoted work is not approved, the quote will automatically be uploaded back to the office and generate a quote in the system for future follow up. Once the work has been performed, complete the work order by collecting payment (if applicable) and have the customer sign the invoice or work order. All information, including the customer’s signatures approving and accepting the work will sync back to the office, updating your system.
