ALERE SERVICE

A service call may be as simple as sending a service person out to replace a faucet in a house.

Or it may involve a number of personnel with different certifications, supervisors, an extensive material list, detailed step-by-step instructions, and testing and collecting results.

These two types of service jobs, and everything in between are handled by the Service module.

There is even a Service App that runs on a tablet to support your field service activities!

SERVICE

A service call may be as simple as sending a service person out to replace a faucet in a house. Or it may involve a number of personnel with different certifications, supervisors, an extensive material list, detailed step-by-step instructions, and testing and collecting results. These two types of service jobs, and everything in between are handled by the Service module.

Use a Service Catalog to define the service work elements including the type of service, a list of activities or tests to be performed, the class of personnel and equipment that will be utilized, and a list of the material that will be required. It graphically constructs service steps which are appended to service tickets. Material required for service work is allocated in inventory and included in MRP planning.

Build a custom overview of each customer location using Site Information. Define each serviceable unit, when it is to be serviced, and warranty information.

Develop Resource Classifications which identify the personnel or equipment that comprises each labor competency or class of equipment.

The Service Ticket contains the initial job requirements and billing information. It also records the resources expended and the results of tests that were completed. Data is collected through transactions that may be posted manually or by utilizing bar code devices. Each Service Ticket has a complete audit trail, consisting of activity history and related general ledger postings.

Use the Recurring Service function to allow the generation of service tickets for clients with units enrolled on scheduled service plans. 

DISPATCH

Service jobs can be assigned and managed, all in real time, for service technicians and their available time slots using drag and drop on the Dispatch Board.

The schedule is scrollable and you can zoom down to a one hour resolution or zoom out to see all fourteen days at one time.
