To retain customer loyalty, plant and machinery manufacturers these days need to stand out with a first-class service offering and a well-organized field sales team. Field service managers are responsible for ensuring that plant and machinery, vehicles, and equipment can be efficiently installed, serviced, or repaired. While the challenges they face may be huge, a field service management solution helps them to overcome all obstacles.
Service engineers need to complete their field service operations reliably, confidently, and with high quality results, to ensure the company retains its competitive edge. However, the work undertaken for customers in carrying out repairs, maintenance, retrofits, or modifications is a mere fraction of what constitutes successful field service.
Field service management also includes:
By introducing a field service management solution, plant and machinery constructors can succeed on all fronts. Anyone already using an FSM solution is already set up for the future. Yet in both cases, the potential for optimization is still significantly underexploited.
By integrating field service management software with a digital spare parts catalog, not only can service engineers organize all their service orders in real time, they can also identify the spare parts they need in a flash.
The Quanos spare parts catalog, for example, offers a standard interface for integrating field service management solutions from providers such as Innosoft.
When working on site, service engineers can access the relevant spare parts catalog simply by clicking in their service report, dispensing with the need for a lengthy search for the right spare part.
In the parts catalog, which can be enhanced with Quanos SIS.one to include various features, engineers will find valuable information, such as parts list entries, images, 2D drawings, 3D graphics, relevant paragraphs from the technical documentation, circuit diagrams, and much more.

Businesses that use a field service management solution for planning and completing jobs, as well as documenting service orders, can effortlessly enhance their whole operation by linking with digital spare parts catalogs, courtesy of Quanos. Kai-Uwe Roiger at Novoferm GmbH is well aware of the benefits that this can bring to day-to-day operations:
„The Quanos spare parts catalog has been in use at our company for quite some time.
