Here’s how the leader in home workout equipment found success with Salesforce Field Service
Business began to boom in 2018 for one popular home workout brand and equipment manufacturer, but after the holiday rush in 2019, they experienced explosive growth, quickly. They soon realized the need to scale their operations because they were quickly falling behind on fulfilling orders. In search of a cutting edge solution that could keep up with their growing operational demands, they turned to Salesforce and NeuraFlash. We soon implemented a robust Salesforce Field Service solution to optimize their delivery and appointment systems.
How could they get to all the appointments they needed to in one day?
How could they reduce the months of back-up?
Their Field Service solution was able to provide them with automated, optimized routes based on a large number of conditions. This reduced the travel time of their trucks by 50%, increased the utilization of their techs by 20% and better distributed their work across their techs, considering both skill and workload.
The results didn’t stop there! Our customer truly reimagined how their Field Service investment could continue to benefit their business, by investing in a self-service scheduling solution, the first of its kind. Using the power of Field Service, a B2C self-service booking model was formed, displaying real-time available appointment slots, going beyond just route optimization. Not only do they now provide differentiated service to their customers while optimizing their agents' time, but they have improved the member experience and can take upwards of 15,000 orders per hour.
Outcomes they’ve seen:
- 65% reduction in agent time spent on customer support
- 50% decrease in travel time
- 20% increase in utilization
- Deflected over 30% of member support schedule appointments by allowing customers to serve themselves
- 3,000 orders per hour
There’s a lot riding on a successful field service implementation.
Organizations who are looking to operationalize, streamline processes, or are gearing up to scale are faced with the overwhelming task of transitioning from heavily manual and siloed processes to new cloud-based technology.
Change can be overwhelming, even more so when failure to adopt the new processes and technology can drastically impact ROI on the technology that was supposed to make work easier. Though it seems like an overwhelming initiative, it won’t solve itself. That’s why NeuraFlash built a change management practice.
Our goal isn’t to just build solutions for our customers, but we aim to inspire long lasting, revenue generating change!
