Providing ongoing service to customers is an important part of any business and one that can be a source of customer satisfaction and loyalty, in addition to revenue. However, managing and tracking service isn't always easy, and Business Central provides a set of tools to help. These tools are designed to support repair shops and field service operations, and support typical scenarios for those businesses:
- Schedule service calls.
- Manage service orders.
- Track repair parts and supplies.
- Assign service personnel based on skill and availability.
- Provide service estimates and service invoices.
In addition, you can standardize coding, set up contracts, implement a discounting policy, and create route maps for service employees.
