Asset Data Comes Alive

In Core 23R2, ServiceMax extends its Service Analytics dashboards to extend rich asset insights to leaders and service managers to drive better operational, financial, and strategic decisions. With Asset Commercial Insights leaders can dig deeper into the revenue coverage of their assets while uncovering the true profitability of their service operations.

With Asset Operational Insights, leaders can dig into the effectiveness and efficiency of their service business with live access to metrics such as Mean Time To Repair, Asset Uptime, and PM Agreement Compliance.

Finally, with Asset Performance Indicators, leaders get a comprehensive view of the critical metrics that highlight the health of the assets that they cover with the ability to drill down into a specific metric portfolio-wide or into the performance of a single asset in comparison to the rest of the fleet. As a result of these enhancements, customers can expect:

  • Quicker business decisions from informed service leaders
  • Reduced man hours and effort to search for and build relevant reports
  • Improved operational & commercial performance for the service organization

Service Flow Manager

ServiceMax customers heavily rely on the Service Flow Manager as a powerful workflow engine to support their service processes and extend best practices without a heavy reliance on IT. In Core 23R2, ServiceMax has deployed several customer-driven enhancements to the design and delivery components of the SFM to allow for faster data lookup and capture.

Within SFM design, support for Multi-level mapping and polymorphic fields allows organizations to bring in service data from multiple fields in the work order creation and execution process. In delivery, organizations can extend the amount of data that users see in their results lists while easily enabling the creation of a new record, if applicable. As a result, customers can expect:

  • An improved user experience for critical service workers
  • Reduced administrative and IT time to extend key service processes.

Optimization Flexes its Multi-Day Capabilities while Go Gets Technician Feedback

Core 23R1 saw a slew of releases to connected worker applications such as Service Board, DataGuide, Go, and more. Core 23R2 is packed with features for all those applications and more. Scheduling optimization gets serious about optimizing technician schedules over multi-day jobs, especially those that are often required in installation or preventive maintenance. Once the job is completed, technicians can
now directly rate their ServiceMax Go experience directly in the app. This helps get timely insight and
feedback from the direct users of the solution.

  • Improved utilization of their dispatchers for multi-day events
  • Improved technician utilization
  • An improved technician experience
