SERVICE DISPATCH

Q360 - Innovative Software

After the initial sale, there is nothing more important than excellent Customer Service. Q360 rounds off its front-line Customer Relationship Management suite with Service Dispatch.

Q360 Service Dispatch automates the costly, time-consuming, and paper-intensive processes associated with technical support and field service departments. These processes include communicating with headoffice, receiving work assignments, completing workorders, submitting billing information to accounting, and even ordering and tracking parts. With Q360 SD, field service companies can increase a technician's productivity, heighten customer satisfaction, reduce operation costs, and improve profitability.

Q360 SD is an excellent solution for the small enterprise, but was designed for large, complex information sharing organizations. Q360 SD has been successfully implemented in companies with more than 700 field technicians with call centers with dozens of dispatchers handling over 50,000 calls per month.

Q360 SD is a complete solution for your service department, it will help any organization that requires superior management of field service resources, warehouse tracking, contract management and Helpdesk activities. Q360 SD even offers wireless and web-based solutions.

Service and Dispatch draws upon the same customer information as other departments, thus everyone in your firm has access to information containing the customer's entire experience with your company. Through the use of work queues, service staff can manage workflow from all customer touch points, whether it's through the call center, interactive voice response, the web, or email automation.

Service calls are handled with Q360's call center Helpdesk or through its web based self help eService System. Dispatchers have a quick view of the customer's entire service history, product and site profile and can view technician's whereabouts' through optional integrated mapping software, ensuring they have the most accurate and timely information to make better decisions.

Service Workorders are quickly created and are integrated with Q360's accounting and inventory modules, locking down control of spare parts and regular inventory stock. Dispatchers can also send electronic workorders to field technicians via their RIM BlackberryTM pagers or other PDA devices. Techs can then update their workorder after leaving the customer's site, even providing notification that they have a signed proof of delivery, and send it back to Q360 for faster billing cycles. The potential impact on cash flow is tremendous with this type of workflow through wireless document management.

You can even manage and build your knowledgebase on the fly as you conduct your regular work duties. This knowledgebase can be utilized by front-line call takers or by customers logged into the eService web site.

No matter how a customer chooses to contact your company the staff member servicing them will have the tools to make it a good experience.
