Field service inventory management for utilities
Keeping critical parts in the right place
Transform performance with visibility and intelligence in the final mile
The global field service management market size in the utility sector is expected to reach $10.81 billion by 2026¹, but most field service organisations are not managing inventory at the final mile; field service software stops where the edge begins. You lose sight of inventory, waste money on delivery costs, have low technician productivity, and are risking customer satisfaction.
To manage your field services and maintain customer loyalty you need visibility, intelligence, and security at the field service edge. 79%² of utility companies believe they are customer-centric so keeping your customers happy by offering the best SLAs and First Time Fix is key to success. It’s time to take control of your final mile.

- Keep or deliver critical parts at secure locations at or near the customer site so that you can eliminate expensive overnight delivery costs.
- Engineers collect their parts from secure locations.
- You will also know exactly who has picked up the part(s), when the pickup took place, and which part was collected through the easy-to-use app.
- The engineer completes their jobs for the day and any return parts are placed back in the secure location for collection or the next job.
