Ensuring your field service engineers are properly equipped at the start of the working day is the product of an efficient field service supply chain. There are many commercial benefits to outsourcing parts & tools delivery and this is a critical part of any business that has engineers & technicians in the field.
Running an effective supply chain is complex and not an area of expertise for many businesses. Businesses with many workers in the field and centrally located distribution hubs can experience significant delays in deployment, high margins of error and reduced productivity if logistics are not the central focus of a dedicated tea. That is why supply chain management requires a comprehensive and considered approach.
Being unable to successfully deliver parts & tools to engineers or goods to customers is detrimental to both the service a business offers and its reputation. That is why for many companies, a solution to supply chain management is to outsource the operation, leaving them to focus on the day-to-day running of their operation and growing their business.
