Introducing Dynamics Advanced Field Service

Accelerate your business with world-class end-to-end field service management!
We realize that to maintain a competitive advantage with your field service organization, you must accomplish more with less staff, while customers demand higher service levels. We understand your need to streamline operations when facing increased competition and cost-cutting initiatives.

Features
Case Management integration
The integration between Cases from Dynamics 365 for Customer Service and the information available for customers in Dynamics 365 for Field Service has been thoroughly extended. Your helpdesk employees will be able to directly link a Customer Asset to a case and relevant details of the Customer Asset will become visible. If this Customer Asset is linked to an active agreement, the case will be linked to the agreement as well.
Extended Customer Assets
The entity Customer Asset has been extended with various additional information fields, with an owner & agreement account, with views to related Cases and Work Orders and we have introduced Customer Asset Warranty. By introducing Customer Asset Type, Customer Asset Group and the connection of a Number Sequence to these entities, Dynamics Advanced Field Service allows you to generate unique Customer Asset ID’s automatically when saving a record.
Additional Agreement features
With Dynamics Advanced Field Service you can connect as much Customer Assets to an agreement as you want, without the necessity to define an agreement booking setup. This way the coverage of a Customer Asset in an agreement is defined and also identified in Cases and Work Orders. We also introduced agreement coverage terms. These terms represent what you as a company cover in a specific type of agreement.
Improved Work Orders
Automatically invoice a Work Order for a fixed price using an invoice schedule with Work Order invoice schedule lines. Get organized with estimated Work Order Totals Overviews, actual and invoiced amounts that have been extended, including fixed price. Use functionality that overrules standard hourly sales rates of working hours based on the resources executing the Work Order with for example junior, medior or senior engineer rates.
Integrated Customer Locations
Dynamics Customer Location allows you to create physical locations for accounts such as an office building with floors or a large construction site. Customer location is fully integrated into cases, Work Orders and Customer Assets. A customer location is in a sense different than a Customer Asset. The Customer Asset is ‘what’ you service as a company and the customer location is ‘where’ the Customer Asset is serviced.
