I’ve been in the industry long enough to understand that what drives exceptional businesses is often exceptional service.
Service has, especially in recent years, become the face of your business, the catalyst of customer ire or adoration, and an opportunity to show how you’re using technology in intelligent ways, not just to track customer behavior, not just to save on the bottom-line, but to create transformational experiences for your customers.
Your customers experience these interactions as a moment of service: is the phone or laptop connected to a network to support critical communications, did the power turn back on before the food in ones’ freezer unthawed, did the industrial equipment trigger a service visit before a failure occurred, and was an end user or technician guided through a simple repair using augmented reality, or was the end customer able to track their service technician on a map, and prepare for their arrival?
Each of these have influential and powerful moments of service, have the potential to be a eureka moment for your customer, reminding them that you’re innovating with them in mind. It makes a difference, saves you resources, and works as a catalyst of growth for your business.
At IFS, we understand that smart business decisions, great training, and, critically, technology, all converge to create this moment of service for your customer. And in order for your vision to be executed without compromise, that technology needs to be the deepest, most complete solution possible, conformed to the shape of your business, and integrated across your complex, multidimensional enterprise. We provide a platform with best of breed capabilities.
At IFS, we’ve worked hard to build a service business unit that actually knows service. Our team comes from all over the service world, from every industry that touches service delivery, and we have used that domain expertise to build a solution worthy of your moment of service. And today, we’re so excited to share our next chapter of that solution, through our recent announcement of IFS cloud.
IFS Cloud takes the core philosophy that we’ve built in the service management business unit and expands it across our entire business, from the enterprise to the asset, to the parts, to the projects, through scheduling, and everything in between.
When we developed #IFSCloud we focused on the #MomentOfService.
