Field Servicing Tool in CRM - Check this out!
It is a little early to show case it, as we're going to be adding a few more bells and whistles over the next couple of weeks, but I wanted to give the Zoho Partners a sneak preview. This will be our 24th Widget developed for Zoho Partners. I has to be my favorite so far. Yes it's a scheduling tool in CRM.
Why? We waited for the new field servicing app before deciding to go down this path. We evaluated if we integrated with the new app or if we built a widget in CRM to meet our client needs. We decided for our clients (which is not everyone) the widget could meet some extra requirements.
Maybe one day Zoho will provide a solution that makes this obsolete, but for now it fills a gap we are challenged with everyday.
This widget is $495 install if anyone is interested, reach out to us on our new Zoho Partner log in page. https://www.sosconsulting.net.au/login/. We are always looking for new ideas to build for partners. Thank you @Megan Cunningham-Adams for the inspiration on this one.

- It Integrates with a BOQ Estimating. So we can track time and costs against our quotes, using our BOM and Schedule of Rates.
- It uses a custom module for Resources, which means we can schedule Sub Contractors and Assets without increasing user licences.
- It enables us to assign Creator Site Reports for compliance, safety, checklists etc.
- We can colour code our tasks, to see which resources (people, assets, workstations are allocated to the same task).
- We can set mins before and after for preparation or travel (yes, we will definitely be looking into Google Maps next week).
- The Schedule integrates with Zoho Projects. So, field service staff can update their tasks, manage their site reports and update their timesheets in one place.
- I think the most important benefit is our clients are not using another app. Most of our clients have a single resource pool for large Projects and Service Jobs. So Head Office staff can Estimate, Schedule and Manage Budgets from CRM. We have a heap of other widgets to mange these processes too.

How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?
A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk) In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only. The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
