Maintenance service business managers are facing challenges with poor service design and the high costs associated with service delivery. Inadequate service design can result in a negative service experience, potentially causing customer loss. It is essential to redesign your service offering and funding mechanism to effectively meet customer needs and cover the expenses of service delivery.
Maintenance service business managers are striving to effectively and efficiently handle their workforce, clientele, and operational resources using elementary office management software tools. However, these office software tools fall short in meeting the demands of modern asset maintenance management, especially for large enterprises, and even for small and medium-sized maintenance service businesses.
Maintenance service companies are making efforts to independently understand and utilize software tools, but frequently become exhausted from the process of self-learning through reading manuals, watching videos, and relying on trial and error. Meanwhile, software companies aim to minimize their expenses by delegating the responsibility of learning to their customers.
