Most software looks good in a demo. The test is how it handles the awkward parts of your own business.
Choose field service software: Ten questions to ask
- Contracts: can it model an AMC with services on different intervals and several sites?
- Visits: does a contract create its own visits?
- Dispatch: can you assign the day before, and can technicians take open jobs?
- GST: does each service carry a SAC code and rate, and is there a sales register?
- Setup: is there a starting template for your trade?
- Technician use: what works on a phone today, and what is promised later?
- Roles: can staff see only what they should, including money?
- Pricing: is it published, in rupees, and what are the limits?
- Support: by phone and WhatsApp, in your language and hours?
- Exit: can you export your data?
Run a real test
Give the vendor three real cases: a customer with two sites and a quarterly contract, a technician who resigns with eight visits assigned, and an invoice with two services at different GST rates. Watch how many steps each takes.
