Field Service Runs On Immediate Access to Current Product Data

What is Field Service Enablement?
Field service enablement is the process of equipping service teams with accurate, current product data so they can resolve customer issues quickly and effectively. With Propel's unified platform, service quality becomes a direct and measurable extension of product quality and customer retention.
Complete As-Maintained Product Histories
Every product in the field has a unique service history. Teams need instant access to as-maintained BOMs, replaced components, and configuration changes to diagnose issues accurately and control service costs.
Real-Time Product and Recall Updates
Products evolve after they ship. Service teams need always-current visibility into the latest manuals, engineering changes, and recall notices so that every customer interaction is based on current, accurate information.
Customer-Specific Product Intelligence
No two customers use a product the same way. Tracking individual usage patterns, configurations, and training history gives service teams the context to resolve issues faster and build lasting customer relationships.

Connect Service, Customer, and Product Teams

Design for Serviceability

Optimize product design utilizing field replaceable units, ensuring planning for spares and developing service documentation for post-deployment use. Changes to assemblies due to quality and performance issues can be flagged on field assets, enabling technicians to repair, replace, or upgrade fielded products.

Accurate Product Manuals

Provide the most up-to-date product documentation in a secure and easy-to-use cloud portal where users can access specific documents using filters like product, revisions, countries, and languages. Source of truth is managed in a change-controlled compliant system, while service documentation can be authored and managed along with the product.

Integrated Customer Info

Customer and product info goes hand in hand for service teams—so having easy access to both is key to a seamless customer experience. Integrated processes that extend across service, sales, and product teams ensure service issues are addressed quickly and efficiently, while meeting specific customer needs.
