We are excited to introduce Zoho FSM, a powerful, one-stop field service management platform!
Zoho FSM caters to service businesses, especially those with extensive and diverse field teams. These include service providers in industries like home services, HVAC, construction, utilities, healthcare, telecommunication, and security.
Their biggest challenge is handling operations efficiently from a central location while also ensuring a great service experience. It takes diligent planning, constant supervision, and efficient operations.
Zoho FSM automates the entire spectrum of field operations and ensures complete visibility for all service stakeholders, including field technicians, customer representatives, and sales teams.
What makes Zoho FSM unique?
Zoho FSM is a comprehensive field service management platform, designed to seamlessly manage the entire field service operations including customer management, work order management, workforce management, and invoicing and payments.
It can integrate with other Zoho services spanning sales, customer service, marketing, finance, and HR. This enables businesses to gain valuable insights and information from multiple functional units.
What problems do field service providers face?
- No single platform for all field service needs
- Lack of visibility over work at the site
- Reduced productivity due to improper workforce management
- Rigid, inflexible solutions limit growth.
- Ineffective customer interaction resulting in a lack of customer retention.
How does Zoho FSM elevate field service management?
Zoho FSM gives you everything needed to manage field operations effectively in a single platform. It lets you process service requests and manage work orders. It allows you to track field agents, view schedules and select the right resource to dispatch. It also lets business owners track KPIs with reports.
Beyond this, Zoho FSM caters to workforce management, customer management, asset management, and inventory tracking. Having all the data and functionality on a single software minimizes errors and slip-ups that may cost a great deal to fix.
Handling billing and payments often require special software and expertise, resulting in slowing down revenue collection. Zoho FSM leverages the power of the Zoho Finance Suite for all invoicing and payment functionalities. This lets you turn work orders into branded invoices with a single click. It also simplifies taxes and lets you collect online payments through payment gateways.
The absence of a centralized communication platform can impede effective dialogue between call center agents, managers, field technicians, and customers. Effective communication with agents on the move is essential for visibility over the work. To achieve this, Zoho FSM comes with a mobile app for field agents. It lets them access all customer and job-related information and complete tasks on the go. The Zoho FSM mobile app enables live location tracking for improved scheduling. Field agents can upload notes and photos from the job site, fill out service reports, collect payments, and get the customer's feedback on the app.
With Zoho FSM, it is possible to manage large teams effortlessly by enhancing the coordination and efficiency of the workforce. The multi-user environment lets you assign different profiles based on your needs. Zoho FSM gives business owners an overview of the technicians' daily tasks, trips, and time-offs. Field agents can be sorted based on their skills and territory and grouped to form Crews for improved planning and productivity.
Zoho FSM has been made with the understanding that every field service business is unique. The customization components, like custom fields and profiles, let you personalize your experience and build additional functionality. You can also automate repetitive tasks with workflows, custom functions, and webhooks to save time and effort.
Integrations to extend Zoho FSM
Zoho FSM integrates with other Zoho and third-party applications to ensure your business runs like a well-oiled machine.
Zoho FSM is integrated with

The
Zoho Inventory integration lets you access features like serial number tracking and multiple warehouse management to make stock keeping easier.
The Zoho FSM extension for

Beyond this, you can integrate with other third-party apps using
REST APIs provided by Zoho FSM.

Delivering a great customer experience is impossible without improving organizational processes. With efficient scheduling and timely updates, customers are always kept in the loop and never kept waiting.

Deleting unwanted ticket replies
Hello, In a Zoho Desk Ticket thread, sometimes one of the recipients has auto-reply activated. This creates a new message in the Ticket thread that not only pollutes the thread, but most importantly cannot be replied properly because usually auto-reply e-mails don't do "reply all", so the other recipients are not included. I want to delete such a message in the Ticket thread. I searched the help of Zoho Desk, but only found a way to mark as Spam (https://help.zoho.com/portal/kb/articles/marking-support-tickets-as-spam)

Zoho Calendar Integrated Into CRM?
I've searched around the forums but couldn't find anything addressing this . . . Is there a plan to integrate Zoho's stand alone calendar solution into Zoho CRM? The CRM calendar does an OK job but is very basic and the Zoho calendar is great, but I've only figured out to subscribe to my CRM calendar within ZCalendar - there is no 2-way sync. My preferred solution would be for ZCal to become the default calendar/event solution within Z CRM. Is this on the roadmap? Thanks
