Our company's Resource management - company equipment and vehicles for field services
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to manage our company vehicles and equipment in FSM.
If the vehicle or specific equipment is allocated to a schedule job, then it must be marked as "unavailable" for scheduling other jobs that require that same vehicle or specific equipment.
Management of these things doesn't seem to fit under Assets or Services, but rather should be treated as part of Workforce.
If a technician is booked for a job on a specific day, that technician is not available for other jobs on that day.
It should be the same "checkin / checkout" system for vehicles and equipment.
These vehicles and equipment are used to complete work, but they are not the client's vehicle or equipment, but are our company's, so they are not defined as Assets in FSM nor Parts/Service.
In other project management software, a common way of referencing Workforce (People), Vehicles, and Equipment is "Resources" and "Resource Utilization/Management".
As a workaround, I may try creating a User account for each vehicle and each piece of equipment in FSM so that I can track their availability. I don't think this is ideal, but it might work for now.
Can I please request a review and possible improvement for this critical feature "Resources / Resource Management" ? I'm certain this applies to many people who are considering using FSM.
