Field Service Pain Points
For a Field Service team, key challenges often include:
- High Case Volumes: Managing a large number of service requests in Salesforce with accuracy and timeliness.

- Geographical Constraints: Addressing service requests spread over diverse locations efficiently.
- Rapid Response Requirements: Ensuring immediate and effective response to urgent service needs.
