What Makes Service Management Software Any Good?

Best-in-class service software combines the power of automation with a fundamental understanding of how operations function at your business. At IFS, we strive not just to provide the best software, but also the strongest domain expertise of any service platform. That combination means that we understand your business, and build our systems to contour to your unique needs.

And that’s part of the challenge with defining service management software. Service functions for businesses are often so complex, diverse, tribalistic and disconnected that getting a piece of software that fits around all the flailing tendrils of your business is not as easy as installing a new piece of project management software. Many companies, especially those new to service who are seeing the revenue potential of service for their business, build products with feature sets as basic as their other applications. This requires businesses to shove their service processes into a pre-built mold, which always means that you have to saw off elements of your service delivery plan (sometimes entrenched with years of experience) to compromise to software limitations, or invest in even more products to get back to square one.

Because of this, service management vendors that simply have a long list of capabilities, even if those capabilities look particularly flashy in a demo environment, need to be held up to greater scrutiny. Will this parts management system work for the multiple tiers of service appointments that I deal with? Does this crew management system allow me to manage my workers the way that they actually work, or does it just throw names into a list? Does this optimization software manage the scope of global appointments that my company much have oversight for?
