Product Overview
When every step in the field service process costs money, companies want to reduce duplication of data entry, increase billing and make better use of their assets. For these companies, FieldVu is a valuable, one-of-a-kind addition to SAP Business One®.
FieldVu is a fully integrated solution, managing your specific business processes from initial job/contract set-up to dispatch to field ticketing to labor and equipment rental to maintenance to billing and payroll to job/unit costing.
Consider how FieldVu can make a difference to your business. Through our Job (contract) set-up screen, you can track sub-jobs, set special contract pricing, track all documents to a job and allocate and schedule resources through the life of the job. You’ll see in real time the profitability associated with your jobs for customers. You’ll know which equipment units are profitable and which are a financial drag on your business.
The Field Ticket screen is a one-entry location that captures all labor, equipment and materials costs. Field Ticket updates payroll, inventory and billing automatically. Work Order is a repair/maintenance screen managing the ongoing servicing of internal units and external units (both billable and under warranty).
The Rentals area is a comprehensive rental management tool. Through rental contracts, cycle billing and more, you can track all the most popular methods of rental management. When returned, units can be automatically scheduled for service/repair. The Labor Sheet allows you to capture all hours -- field, shop, administration and vacation – and reflect this in payroll.
Moving to Dispatch, you can see quickly which people and units are available at any given time. You know at a glance where everyone and every unit is working. Using approval procedures, open items and many of the features native to SAP® Business One, you control the flow of information through the system. Through the Crystal Reports functions, you can develop and manage your own reports. Preventative maintenance allows you to track the costs to operate a unit, tells you which are more popular for rental with your customers and enables you to build a residual income model by scheduling maintenance thereby flattening out your cash flow and ensuring the client reduced downtime.
Put it all together and FieldVu emerges as a quick and easy way for you to track equipment operating costs, labor and material costs and manage integrated billing and payroll. Once you can see the whole picture, everything changes. For companies whose profitability depends on efficient delivery and management of field services, FieldVu is a tool you simply can’t manage without.
