Customer: Leading German Hydraulic Services Provider
Industry: Industrial Services & Engineering
Key Highlights:
Centralised case management and technician scheduling
Real-time service updates via mobile field app
Seamless integration with SAP Business One
Challenge:
This hydraulic services company, operating as an authorised service partner for major industrial brands, faced increasing complexity in managing service requests, technician assignments, and quoting processes. Service inquiries were handled manually and across multiple channels, leading to inconsistent tracking, delayed responses, and duplicated effort. While SAP Business One was already in use as their ERP, it lacked a direct connection to field operations – resulting in delays in billing, inaccurate inventory data, and limited visibility across teams.
Solution:
The company selected fentu FSM to modernise and streamline their field service operations. Working closely with their SAP Business One partner, they implemented fentu FSM to:
Capture service requests as structured cases, enabling clear tracking and ownership from first contact to job completion
Optimise technician scheduling, assigning jobs based on availability and skill set
Enable mobile service execution, allowing technicians to update job details and log time and materials directly on-site
Ensure real-time data flow to SAP Business One, keeping inventory, billing, and service reporting accurate and up to date
The rollout began with core service teams going live on the new system, with further departments to follow in the coming months.
Early Outcome:
Since going live, the company has already seen noticeable improvements in transparency, coordination, and service speed. Service cases are now centrally managed and consistently tracked, and technicians receive their job information in real time via the mobile app. The integration with SAP Business One is eliminating the need for manual handovers between service and back-office teams, reducing errors and speeding up administrative processes.
With the foundation now in place, the company is positioned to scale its service operations more efficiently and deliver a faster, more professional customer experience.
