Connect2Field is full of lots of different useful features and we’ve been working hard over the past few months creating many different resources to make it easy and enjoyable for you guys to learn how to maximise your use of our software.

 

Not only do we have lots of pages with tutorials and detailed explanations of each feature, but we’ve been creating a collection of tutorial videos detailing how other service companies are using these features on a real and systematic basis to benefit the day to day management of their fieldworkers.

 

Our tutorial videos are quick, simple and easy to follow. Check out our latest video below to find out just how easy it is to create and dispatch a job to your fieldworker and the steps they need to follow from start to finish…

 

 

 

If you have any more questions or would like to organise a further demonstration please feel free to contact a member of the team either via our Live Chat or Email us.

Connect2Field and Shoeboxed – Special Offer for Connect2Field customers!

At Connect2Field we are always on the lookout for other products we think might help you to run your service business more efficiently. Shoeboxed are one of our partners and they have been working closely alongside us for a long time. Running a business whether it’s small or large can mean you have to deal with hundreds of receipts and business cards each day – and this can eventually become really stressful when you are trying to locate a particular receipt or contact details.

 

Shoeboxed is essentially a really easy way to digitize and organise all of your receipts and business cards that you accumulate everyday. You mail your receipts and business cards to the guys at Shoeboxed and they scan these and enter them into a cloud-based account for you. This is a great way to save you time, energy and frustration!

 

It helps you to keep your office tidy, organised and means that you are much less likely to lose important receipts at a time when you really need them. You can search these receipts by name, date, total and payment type and you can also send these receipts directly into PDF, Excel, MYOB, Quickbooks, Quicken, Freshbooks, Outright.com and Evernote. Business cards can also be exported into Salesforce, Linkedin, your email client and several other programs and they are searchable by name, email, address and company.

 

Australian customers can visit Shoeboxed Australia and for the rest of the world Shoeboxed.com.

 

There’s a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of a special offer for Connect2Field customers – you get a double free trial of 100 documents instead of 50! It’s a pretty good way of seeing how it can help you to organise your service business even more.

Over the past few weeks, we have been working away on some large updates to the system which we are really excited about!

 

The main update you will notice is that our new Dashboard has now gone live! It has a few changes which we hope will improve the way you use Connect2Field. You will see in the screenshot above, you are now able to view a live snapshot of what’s happening right now in your service business! We will be adding more graphs in the coming weeks meaning you can stay on top of what’s happening, whenever and wherever you are accessing your Connect2Field account.

Document Storage for Field Service Scheduling Companies

Keeping track of documents which are related to customer orders or your customer contracts can be tricky. Then sending those documents to your field staff can be even harder.

 

Luckily at Connect2Field we make this easy by enabling you to attach any type of document to a job; allowing your field workers to get access to those files wherever they are.

 

Check out the screen shots below to see how it works

 

 

 

From the Job Central, we have created a new job and have added pertinent job information
Finally we choose to 'Save & Job Add Details'

 

 

1) We added Products/Services
2) Click on Documents tab at the top..

 

 

Click on 'Upload' button and select files from your PC..

For this example of a Roof Leak Job we have attached 2 images of the Roof Leak Location for the client..

Let us now see how your field workers can see this on their mobile devices..

 

 

 

 

We are finding more and more service businesses are looking at ways to reduce costs and improve productivity. Throwing out your local servers which store all your data and moving everything to the cloud is a great way of saving money but also improving the ability to access your documents anywhere at any time.

 

Keeping your customer documents inside Connect2Field means you know where they are at all times and you can easily make them available to your field workers.

 

All of the data is stored in the Cloud directly onto Microsoft Windows Azure Blob storage, this means all your data is stored on Microsoft servers and automatically replicated to different geographic locations.

 

Yes that’s right  – you can now sleep at night knowing all your data is safe!

 

 

In some instances, if you need to share documents between your staff that aren’t related to that particular job or customer then we would suggest you check out Dropbox! 

 

Dropbox is an intuitive program allowing you to store any file within a desktop folder accessible from multiple devices! It’s simple to download and especially useful for service businesses who need to share documents between multiple workers in addition to team members who work from the office. You can save anything from an image, PDF file or a word document.

 

The Dropbox client can be easily downloaded onto 2 or more devices (like an iPhone or iPad) and the contents within the Dropbox folder are synchronized automatically between them, instantly.

 

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or need any help with how to attach documents within Connect2Field! Also you can check out a tutorial here.
