Customer Portal

“No one asks, ‘When is the technician coming?’ anymore”

In the customer portal, your customers can view the status of their inquiries and orders themselves, download reports, and submit new inquiries digitally. Your back-office staff spends less time following up by phone, and your service comes across as professional as it actually is.

Submit requests digitally instead of by phone or back-and-forth email exchanges
Work order status and deadlines can be viewed at any time

Service reports and records are available for download

Service Contracts & Maintenance Schedules

Recurring maintenance tasks schedule themselves

Upload your service contracts and maintenance schedules once, and SIMPL takes care of the rest: When a service is due, a work order is automatically generated for your scheduling team. No contract will slip through the cracks, and no customer will have to remind you about their maintenance.

Without a system, every operation costs twice as much: first in time, then in revenue

Excel, whiteboards, and sticky notes waste your team’s time and frustrate your customers. Without digital planning, there’s no connection between jobs, technicians, and reports.

No centralized overview of technicians, assignments, and resources
Media discontinuities caused by paper and Excel lead to errors and loss of information
Manual planning quickly reaches its limits when changes are made on short notice
Hours and materials get lost in the paperwork and are never billed

Field Service Management: From the Request to the Signed Report

With SIMPL, you can manage your technical field service entirely digitally—from scheduling to mobile task completion by your technicians on-site.

SIMPL can be integrated with your ERP system, such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics. However, four out of five customers start out without it and, by doing so, have already eliminated paper, Excel, and Outlook from their service process.

Central Operations Planning & Scheduling: All Resources Are Always Up to Date
Mobile App for Technicians: Receive, Complete, and Document Jobs
Digital Records & Reports: Signed by the customer on the spot, not submitted days later
Time and materials recorded on-site: billable before the technician leaves

Frequently Asked Questions About Field Service Management

What is field service management software?

Field Service Management (FSM) software plans, manages, and documents service technicians’ visits to customers. It integrates in-house scheduling, a mobile app for technicians, and digital service reports into a single system. This way, everyone on the team knows who is visiting which customer, when, and what work was done there.

What is the difference between FSM software and maintenance software (CMMS)?

FSM software organizes your technicians’ on-site customer visits—that is, field service. A CMMS manages the maintenance of your company’s own machinery and equipment. SIMPL covers both in a single system: You can plan customer visits and internal maintenance on the same platform. Learn more on our page about maintenance and repairs (CMMS).

How many technicians does it take to make FSM software worthwhile?

As soon as planning via Excel, whiteboard, or verbal instructions reaches its limits—and that usually happens even with just a handful of technicians. Our customers range from small service teams at medium-sized companies to thyssenkrupp Steel Europe. SIMPL scales with you: You start with a streamlined setup and add more features as you need them.

How do our customer and machine data get into the system?

To get started, simply import customers, machines, and orders via Excel. For day-to-day operations, there are interfaces to ERP systems such as SAP, proALPHA, and Microsoft Dynamics. Your personal contact will guide you through the implementation process so that your team can be up and running in just a few weeks.

Are technicians who have been working on paper so far also participating?

We hear this concern before almost every launch, and after a few weeks, it’s usually no longer an issue. The app is designed for on-site use: clear workflows, large controls, and reports created via voice input instead of typing. WTD Managing Director Thomas Liebek sums it up: “Our technicians quickly get the hang of the interface.”

On which devices does the app run?

The SIMPL app runs on iOS and Android, on smartphones and tablets. Your technicians can use the devices they already have; no special hardware is required. The app also works fully offline.

Intuitive operation that works right away

SIMPL is designed so that technicians, service managers, and workshop teams can start working with it right away—without lengthy training and without feeling overwhelmed.
