Field service businesses can be notoriously wasteful and expensive, typically due to no fault of a hard-working owner. After all, there are a limited number of hours in each day, on-going fires to put out, and incredible daily pressure – just to mention a few of the many challenges business owners face daily.

The many issues that can affect small businesses with field service teams add up to cost them time and money so it’s important to pay attention to ways to prevent waste. Typically, the overarching issues aren’t hard to identify as they are common to most businesses. By being aware of these issues and taking steps to address them, you can help your team run more efficiently and save money in the process.

There are a number of ways to save time and money on your field services team. Pooling service requests, implementing effective scheduling practices, and using technology wisely are all great ways to start. You can also reduce waste and expense by streamlining communication among team members. By following these tips, you can help your field services team run more efficiently and save money in the process.

Here are a few specific solutions to the time and money-wasting challenges facing small businesses.

  • Pool services. By pooling service requests, you can save time and travel costs. Instead of sending someone to a job that is only a few blocks away, have them go to the next job that is scheduled instead.
  • Streamline communication. Make sure your team has streamlined communication procedures so that everyone is on the same page and no time is wasted trying to track people down or waiting for messages to be sent back and forth.
  • Implement effective scheduling practices. Schedule jobs realistically and fairly, considering the team’s abilities and the necessary travel time between jobs.
  • Use technology wisely. Utilize technology to its fullest potential to save time and money. For example, invest in a GPS system for your team or use online billing and scheduling software.

By following these tips, you can help your field services team run more efficiently and save money in the process.
