without increasing costs. The cloud-based solution can be easily deployed within weeks,
enabling businesses to immediately realize gains, including:
- Enhanced customer service: Immediate appointments, narrower appointment
windows, better allocation of properly trained technicians for each job, and increased
first-time fix rates
- Increased productivity: Accurate and automated scheduling, decreased travel
times, simpler communications between field workers and the back office, instant
access to information via mobile devices, improved dispatcher tools, and device
agnostic mobile solutions enabling a bring your own device (BYOD) policy
- Ability to achieve business goals: Rapid deployment for immediate ROI,
real-time reporting and managerial dashboards for complete visibility into entire
business, and reduction in IT costs through cloud-based subscription model
"Seventy-five percent of Small and mid-size organizations (SMBs) polled by Aberdeen
are running service as a profit center, much more so than their larger enterprise
counterparts," said Sumair Dutta, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Service
Management, Aberdeen Group. "Therefore in order to fully realize profits, which absolutely
requires a satisfied customer base, companies must improve the integration between service
functions such as field service and customer support, and empower service employees at all
levels with access to richer work, service and customer information. In the case of field
service, this empowerment can be enabled with aid of a scalable mobile workforce
management solution."
"ClickExpress addresses the pain points that growing service companies face, and
levels the playing field, providing growing companies the same robust mobile workforce
solutions that are utilized by industry leaders across the globe," said Dr. Moshe
BenBassat, Chairman and CEO of ClickSoftware. "By deploying ClickExpress, businesses can
be confident knowing that they are using the tried and tested market leader. Because
ClickExpress is offered as a cloud-based subscription model, deployment is fast, making it
the right choice for businesses who want to boost productivity and customer service levels
while keeping operational and IT costs down."
ClickExpress enables companies to choose when they want to utilize one or all of the
components of the package to meet their unique business needs. As a cloud-based solution,
ClickExpress does not require any additional IT infrastructure and has the added benefit
of free upgrades.
