Salesforce Field Service

Understanding Salesforce Field Service

Salesforce Field Service is an expansive addition to Salesforce Service Cloud, offering a 360 degree perspective on workforce management, especially in scenarios where services extend beyond the office or work site into the field. This typically involves mobile employees such as service technicians, alongside service agents, dispatchers, and service managers. Let’s dive into the nuances of Salesforce Field Service, addressing key aspects like its definition, user roles, reporting, scheduling, optimization, and more. Salesforce Field Service is also a popular tool in public sector solutioning. Understanding Salesforce Field Service will help to decide if it is right for your service teams. Understanding Salesforce Field Service: Salesforce Field Service, formerly known as Field Service Lightning (FSL), is an extension of Service Cloud designed to provide a comprehensive workforce management view. It seamlessly manages services delivered in the field, such as a electrical installer arriving to fulfill a customer’s order. Field Service Lightning evolves with each Salesforce release, continually enhancing functionality. Salesforce Field Service enhances customer engagement with real-time personalization, optimization of field teams with a scheduling engine, and access to offline data. Components of Salesforce Field Service: Field Service comprises various components, including Service Appointments, Salesforce Service Cloud integration, Territory and Scheduling functionalities, the Field Service Dispatcher Console, and the Field Service Mobile App for Android and iOS with offline capabilities. A detailed data model diagram illustrates the relationship between Service Cloud and Field Service. Users of Salesforce Field Service: Salesforce Field Service is particularly valuable for organizations with mobile field technicians supporting customers. It excels in scenarios with intricate service delivery involving multiple individuals like dispatchers, field technicians, service agents, and service managers. Each user persona interacts with Salesforce Field Service in distinct ways, utilizing tools like the Dispatcher Console or Field Service Mobile App tailored to their roles. Use Cases for Salesforce Field Service: Field Service proves beneficial in diverse service scenarios, including repairs, maintenance, sales visits, and healthcare care visits. It facilitates efficient coordination among dispatchers, field technicians, service agents, and service managers, streamlining processes and enhancing customer satisfaction. Key Terms in Salesforce Field Service: Understanding key terms such as Work Orders, Service Appointments, Contracts, Entitlements, Work Types, Service Territories, Operating Hours, Resources, and Scheduling Policies is essential. These terms collectively form the foundation of Salesforce Field Service’s robust data model and optimized usability. Scheduling and Optimization: Scheduling in Salesforce Field Service is managed through the Dispatcher Console, empowering dispatchers to make informed decisions. Various methods, from manual to fully automated, enable the creation of service appointments, optimizing resource allocation and ensuring efficient service delivery. Forecasting and Planning: Use real-time data to quickly assess the impact of global or in-day optimization on travel time and resource utilization. Refine scheduling policies, get an instant view of optimization results, and KPI changes. Asset Service Management: Move from reactive to proactive service with real-time asset tracking. Monitor service outcomes and create preventive maintenance plans based on asset use, condition, age, and specific criteria. Service Territory Design: Service Territories, categorized as Primary, Secondary, and Relocation Territories, define where teams can perform work. Well-defined territories are crucial for efficient dispatcher satisfaction, requiring thoughtful initial design and ongoing maintenance. Field Service Mobile App: The Salesforce Field Service Mobile app is essential for on-the-move workforces, offering technicians essential information to optimize job execution. Offline capabilities ensure uninterrupted work, and the Visual Remote Assistant feature enables two-way video and audio communication between agents, technicians, and customers. Slack for Field Service: Empower your mobile workforce with seamless connectivity and timely assistance whenever it is needed. Mobilize for service appoints and tap into the expertise of colleagues throughout the organization with the user-friendly Slack interface. Reporting in Salesforce Field Service: Monitoring service efficiency and success involves leveraging Salesforce reports, list views, and other platform analytics. Work Order List Views and Field Service Report Types provide insights into service call-outs and overall performance. Enabling Field Service Lightning: Setting up Salesforce Field Service involves installing it as a Managed Package, assigning licenses to users, and configuring standard objects like Products, Assets, Service Contracts, and Entitlements. Creating records for Service Territories, Service Resources, and Operating Hours establishes the framework for the service model. Field Service Deployments: Deployments in Salesforce Field Service can be time-consuming due to its reliance on object data. Considerations for complex relational data movement between environments and potential risks, such as resistance to automation, require careful attention. Tectonic, as a Salesforce Consulting Partner, can assist your company in deploying Salesforce Field Service. Salesforce Field Service projects, while intricate, can be highly valuable when executed correctly providing a large ROI. Adequate planning, phased implementations, and a long-term perspective contribute to the success of organizations leveraging the capabilities of Salesforce Field Service.

Slack and Salesforce

Amaze Your Customers With Slack and Service Cloud For Improved Customer Service

Surpass your customers’ expectations with the combined power of Service Cloud and Slack. Drive down operating costs, enhance team productivity, and exceed customer expectations by leveraging the capabilities of Service Cloud and Slack. Understanding the current service landscape: The digital transformation, accelerated by the pandemic, has propelled customers and businesses into a new era, marked by the extensive use of diverse tools for day-to-day operations. Since 2020, Salesforce’s data indicates that achieving transparency and fostering active engagement are crucial to meeting heightened customer expectations, evident in a notable 47% surge in video support. However, a significant number of organizations face a challenge as their technology systems do not fully align with these evolving expectations. We all know it’s hard to make a good paper mache airplane if you only have a piece of paper. And technology is no different. According to Intercom, 46% of support leaders express that their tech stack acts as a hindrance to achieving organizational goals. Operating across various applications diminishes team productivity and hinders business expansion. To effectively cater to your customers, service teams must innovate and adapt to the multitude of tools, contact channels, isolated teams, and fragmented data. Support operations personnel need to address key questions: The solution lies in adopting Slack as the productivity hub, coupled with Salesforce’s Service Cloud integration. This dynamic combination unlocks your full productivity potential, fostering increased customer loyalty. Break down organizational silos and expedite case resolution for enhanced customer experiences. In the ever-evolving digital marketplace, customers demand seamless service without being transferred between agents or repeating their information. A staggering 83% of customers expect complex issues to be addressed by a single point of contact. However, traditional tiered-support models fall short of meeting these expectations. The solution lies in providing teams with a comprehensive view of the entire customer journey. By leveraging the combined capabilities of Service Cloud and Slack, organizations can achieve significant cost reductions and enhance service team productivity. Service Cloud has been shown to lower support costs by 27%, while Slack increases employee productivity by 26%, according to the 2022 Salesforce Success Metrics Global Highlights study. Swarming Swarming, facilitated by Service Cloud and Slack, revolutionizes the support approach. Unlike traditional tiered support, swarming brings service agents, engineers, and issue analysts together in real-time, eliminating the need for case escalations and customer department bouncing. The swarm team collaborates efficiently, sharing information with customers proactively. The Field Service mobile app further facilitates instant connections with experts, reducing the need for unnecessary on-site visits. Service Cloud and Slack, working together, use out-of-the-box workflows to automatically assemble cross-functional experts and create Slack channels for collaborative efforts on complex cases. This approach eliminates messy handoffs and siloed decision-making, promoting transparency. Swarming ensures that everyone involved can access the entire conversation, participate in Slack huddles, and search for resolutions to similar cases. Automation and streamlined collaboration are paramount for providing exceptional service experiences. The time factor, particularly time to resolution and time on hold, is a significant barrier. Many service agents (78%) struggle to balance speed and quality due to the challenge of working across multiple systems. The integration of Service Cloud and Slack addresses this issue by extending workflows throughout the organization. Soon, Slack GPT will further enhance CRM and conversational data, providing AI-generated summaries and enabling the creation of no-code workflows. Workflow Builder and Flow Builder, no-code tools from Slack and Salesforce, respectively, collaborate seamlessly to automate daily tasks and enhance transparency, agility, and cross-team collaboration. Successful Integration The success of this integration is evident in the substantial improvements seen by service organizations using Slack, including a 32% increase in Net Promoter Score, 27% decrease in service/support costs, 30% increase in agent productivity, and a 30% increase in customer retention. The ever-changing level of customer expectations underscores the importance of service professionals as frontline ambassadors for your brand. With 88% of customers valuing their experience with a company as much as its products, swarming becomes a strategic approach to surpass expectations. Slack Connect facilitates direct access to support for partners, vendors, and B2B customers through a dedicated channel, fostering collaborative issue resolution. Slack clips and white-glove service further enhance the support process. Clips allow users to record audio, video, and screen shares, creating a searchable database of demonstrations. Private support channels in Slack provide key customers with white-glove service, allowing them to record and upload technical issues for prompt resolution. slack and service cloud In the current remote and decentralized business workforce, Service Cloud and Slack offer an opportunity to exceed customer expectations, transform service cases into lasting relationships, cut costs, and boost team productivity. If your average call handle time is too long, if your data is too siloed, or if your customer service teams are overwhelmed, contact Tectonic today to explore a Slack and Salesforce Service Cloud Integration.

Salesforce and the Zero Trust Mandate

The Zero Trust Architecture Mandate

President Biden’s recent executive directive, mandating “all federal agencies and executive departments [to] transition to a zero trust architecture to bolster defenses against … cyber threats,” demands swift action from your agency. Zero Trust Architecture Mandate. As the landscape of remote work and cloud-based assets continues to evolve, traditional IT security strategies like VPNs and firewalls are proving less effective and increasingly perilous. These strategies, relying on perimeter defense, are becoming inefficient for organizations confronting diverse cyber threats. With remote work at its pinnacle and assets predominantly in the cloud, the demand for secure remote access to applications, data, and services has surged. Conventional security measures may no longer suffice in thwarting increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. The paradigm shift in government cybersecurity is evident; perimeter defense is no longer adequate. The surge in hybrid working environments among government employees and inter-agency collaborations introduces new cybersecurity challenges and risks. The escalating frequency, cost, and impact of cyberthreat actions necessitate a robust cybersecurity posture. Cybercriminals, now targeting smaller agencies, underscore the urgency for enhanced network security and more effective remote access solutions than legacy VPNs. Enter zero trust architecture. For government agencies embarking on the zero trust journey, unwinding legacy security processes poses challenges but promises substantial benefits. To initiate this transformation, agencies should consider the following steps: Engage your IT team in a conversation about zero trust architecture: Recognize the importance of zero trust architecture—right now: Develop a checklist of questions to map your zero trust architecture: Educate your organization about the importance of data security: Emphasize the significance of data security, particularly in the context of multifactor authentication (MFA), a crucial component of zero trust architecture. Mitigate “security fatigue” among employees by ensuring a clear understanding of data security policies and the rationale behind them. Consider moving to a Zero Trust tool like Salesforce. Salesforce CRM is one of foremost cloud services today, delivered with a comprehensive security and compliance approach, and via platform which incorporates a number of Zero Trust best practices. On the Salesforce corporation side, Zero Trust helps us all become better protected against advanced persistent threats, nation-state actors, or other attacks, so that we are all more resilient. And as a product to customers, you should have comfort knowing that your data is better protected. The benefits that Zero Trust brings to our organization are the same benefits it brings to our customers. Salesforce also has introduced Salesforce Shield.  Salesforce Shield allows you to encrypt your Salesforce data with AES 256-bit encryption at the field-level, as well as manage your own encryption keys. Key takeaways of platform encryption include: AES 256-bit: The highest level of encryption available within Salesforce.
