Damage 2 Repair
SpiceCRM allows to create Service Orders or convert existing Sales Documents and Service Tickets into Orders. The Service Order contains detailed information about the planned maintenance services, including a list of all required materials (spare parts) and efforts. When executing orders, the technician can capture actual efforts and materials used (Confirmation). All images taken in open order are automatically uploaded to CRM and added to the service order. As soon as the order has been completed, it can be digitally signed by the customer as well as converted to PDF and sent directly to the customer.
Service Planner as a special feature in Service Manager supports route planning for the technicians. It is possible to pick a date and set an estimated duration for each order. The estimated distance and travel time will be automatically determined based on the maintenance location as well as the technician’s base and also set to the order.
Create service orders
With installed equipment on-site it sometimes becomes necessary to dispatch the field service team to repair or replace installed assets. The service order management in SpiceCRM provides the necessary tools for the job. Service Orders are linked to installed assets, they are delivered on service locations and if available are in accordance with a service contract.
The service order also allows you to allocate required resources in terms of working time, and also products like spare parts and other products that are going to be required for the work to be performed.
