Trimble has released its next-generation Work Management solution, a cloud-based software that enhances the productivity of mobile workforces through intelligent scheduling tools and state-of-the-art performance analytics. Work Management is part of Trimble's integrated suite of field service management solutions that also includes Fleet Management and Driver Safety. Trimble's advanced technology provides field services businesses with the resources they need to manage their mobile operations.
The next-generation Trimble Work Management solution is available in two packages:
Performance Insight—which includes Performance Management Analytics, a suite of dashboards and reports that show key metrics including quality of service, efficiency and utilization of workers to deliver in-depth analysis and easily identify key trends and areas for improvement.
Performance Optimize—which includes Performance Management Analytics coupled with Scheduling and Optimization, a dynamic set of tools to plan, monitor and manage the execution of the workday in real-time to fully utilize the workforce.
Without performance management analytics, the field service manager may have quantities of data but doesn't know what it means or how to use it to fully drive improvement. Performance Management Analytics provide visibility into what is preventing organizations from completing more jobs. Managers can look at regions, teams and even individual workers by job type and performance and gain insight into how to improve productivity.
In addition, Work Management Scheduling and Optimization offers an advanced toolset that automatically identifies and updates a mobile worker's preferences (i.e. territory knowledge and skills), and then allocates the appropriate task to that worker. The Intelligent Advisor tool evaluates and displays the impact of assigning a job to a particular field worker in terms of overtime, tasks affected and travel time.
