Field Service Management, Connected to the Rest of Your Operation
Most field service software focuses on scheduling, dispatch, technicians, and service tickets. Core365 handles that work and connects it to your customer records, project history, field documentation, purchasing, employee administration, and operational reporting.
Core365 is a unified operations and field service management platform for renewable energy, roofing, home automation and security, and pest control companies.
What Is Field Service Management Software?
Field service management software organizes the work your teams do at customer sites. It typically covers service requests, scheduling, dispatch, technician assignments, mobile access for technicians, and job documentation.
The goal is simple: get the right technician to the right job with the right information, and know when the work is done.
Where Standalone Field Service Tools Fall Short
Field service software can manage scheduling, dispatch, technicians, and service tickets. Some platforms also include inventory, customer management, and reporting.
Your challenge is making sure those functions stay connected to the rest of your operation.
When customer information, project history, equipment records, and field documentation live in separate systems, your team may spend unnecessary time looking for information or entering the same details more than once.
- Technicians arrive without the plans, equipment details, or previous ticket history.
- Office staff re-enter customer information that already exists elsewhere.
- Field photos and forms end up in text threads and shared drives.
- Materials used on a job don't connect to purchasing or inventory.
- Reporting stops at the work order, so leadership can't see the full operation.
Core365 connects supported field-service workflows with the customer and operational records your teams already manage.
How Core365 Connects Field Work to the Rest of Your Operation
In Core365, service work keeps its relationship with the original customer and project. The office, the field, and leadership work from the same records, each through the module built for their job.
Service365 and the Core365 Platform
Service365 is the Core365 module for service tickets, scheduling, and dispatch. Field service management in Core365 is broader. Service365 works alongside Forms365 for field documentation, HR365 for your workforce, Contact365 for customer communication, Procurement365 for materials, Analytics365 for reporting, and, for renewable energy companies, EPC365 for project coordination.
Scheduling, Dispatch, and Technician Assignments
Coordinate technicians, crews, appointments, and service territories from one scheduling system. Dispatchers assign work directly, review availability, manage time off, and organize schedules across service types. Eligible technicians can also claim available Flex Tickets in their assigned service areas when they have capacity for more work.
Technicians use the native iOS and Android apps to review assignments, access customer and equipment information, open plans and permits, upload photos, and update ticket progress. When GPS is enabled, authorized team members can see location information tied to supported field activities.
Depending on your configured workflow, customers can receive notifications when a technician is in transit, arrives on site, or completes a service milestone.
Service Tickets With the Full Customer History
Create and track tickets for installations, inspections, repairs, maintenance, and other field work. Each ticket brings together customer information, service instructions, equipment details, plans, permits, photos, and previous ticket activity, so technicians don't need to call the office to find it.
Because the ticket stays connected to the original customer, your team sees the full service history the next time that customer calls.
Field Documentation and Mobile Forms
Forms365 lets you build the forms your field teams use, with drag-and-drop fields, required-field rules, validation, conditional sections, and repeatable sections. Forms can prefill customer and project information and stay attached to the records they belong to.
Technicians can complete supported forms on mobile, including offline, with the data syncing once they reconnect. Required photos, notes, receipt uploads, and supporting files stay with the job.
Materials and Inventory for Field Work
Procurement365 connects purchase orders, materials, warehouse inventory, and project costs. Your team can receive materials, allocate them to jobs, transfer stock between warehouses and crews, run physical counts, and get low-stock notifications.
Your Field Workforce
HR365 keeps employee records, onboarding information, documentation, hourly timekeeping, attendance, and leave management in the same platform your technicians already use.
Where supported and enabled, location information can be recorded for specific employee or field activities. Location tracking depends on the configured workflow and permissions.
HR365 does not process payroll.
Customer Communication
Contact365 connects supported calling and messaging services to customer and project records. Your office sees the conversation history before calling a customer back, and technicians see the context before they arrive. Capabilities depend on your communication provider and configuration.
Documents and Signatures
DocuVault365, Core365's own eSignature and document system, lets your team send service agreements and other documents for signature from Core365 data, with templates, signing order, and reminders. DocuVault365 requires a separate annual license.
Operational Queues and Reporting
Queues give each team clear ownership of the work in front of them and make outstanding items visible. Analytics365 adds departmental consoles and an Executive Console, where leadership tracks KPIs against targets and, for supported KPIs, drills into the details behind a change. Available consoles and metrics depend on your industry and configuration. Custom reporting through Reports365 is offered separately.
