Licenses Introduced
- Field Service
- Maintenance Service
- Sales Management
- Inventory Management
Reason for selection
- Since the work became enormous due to the response to various customer needs and it was difficult to handle with the conventional core system, we were looking for a system specialized for service work.
- We would like to improve work efficiency and customer service levels such as “shortening lead time” and “improving work quality” for the repair-related work, so we chose the Yokogawa Solution Service which knows about services as they use the same services in-house.
Issues that existed before ServAir introduction
- There was a problem with work quality because of work omissions due to handwriting mistakes, system transcription mistakes, and lack of experience.
- It took about 8 days on average to input into each system, from repair reception to sales recording.
- The inventory of parts could not be managed properly, causing surplus inventory and deteriorating cash flow.
Effects of ServAir introduction
- Since the system and the workflow match our company, the work efficiency has improved significantly, and the number of repairs has increased by 15% without changing the number of service personnel and clerks.
- The period from repair completion to sales recording has been reduced to about half.
- Linking the used parts data to the core system led to more efficient inventory management and improved inventory accuracy.
- Return processing has reduced by 30% since estimation accuracy is improved.
- By sharing customers’ opinions with the corporate insiders, it became possible to follow up as an organization and improve the quality of service.
