How do you differentiate your company in a crowded field? Service differentiation in field service can manifest as greater speed, accuracy, and precision. It can entail seamless customer communication, smart scheduling, self-service, and advanced diagnostics. Digitization and deep understanding of your clients’ needs are a common thread.
“One of the things that has become our best practice before we start our journey to digitize field service operations is to truly invest, look, and get passionate about our customers’ operations,” Gomocha’s CEO Martin Knook says. “And understanding our customer operations and their complexities in the field gives us the ability to document what we call a Field Service Strategic Assessment.”
An assessment helps ensure consistency, which in turn works hand in hand with differentiation. One has no real value without the other. Consistency means all digital documentation is complete and delivered on time, processes are repeatable, and all customers get the same high-quality experience. It also ensures communication is clear across all teams and technicians always arrive on time.
Consistency and differentiation support greater pricing power for you. Customers are willing to pay more for:
Lower Operational Risk
Proactive maintenance, transparent reporting, and other advanced features enable customers to face fewer surprises—whether it’s emergency repairs, last-minute calls, safety and compliance issues, or the need for more accurate forecasting. Clients are willing to pay to reduce the risk of costly disruptions and unexpected liabilities that could impact operations or revenue.
Reduced Downtime
Real-time diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and remote troubleshooting help prevent failures before they happen, saving money in the long run. The bottom line is that this results in minimal production delays or shutdowns. Equipment runs longer and more reliably. Companies can dispatch technicians more quickly with the right parts in stock.
Better Asset Management
A client’s history and life cycles are clear thanks to detailed reporting, condition tracking, and maintenance forecasting. Budgets are easier to plan. Customers can prepare for replacements based on data, and preventative service extends asset life, enabling higher ROI.
Faster Resolution
Consistent systems ensure all personnel have the same workflows to diagnose and resolve customer issues more quickly and accurately. These systems lead to improved first-time fix rates, less rework, and more seamless communication between the office, technicians, and customers.
Predictable Service Outcomes
Clients know what to expect when there’s consistency through seamless processes, real-time data, and clear communication. The premium pricing delivers smart, predictable outcomes that reinforce the cost of reliability.
