What is productivity?

The term refers to the division between the amount of work output and the cost input. Basically, for a field service business, it can refer to the number of jobs divided by the total cost that went into closing them. A high number of finished jobs with a low cost means that your business is profiting. Many companies struggle with achieving a high productivity rate mostly due to poor organizational tools. They still use paper-based schedules or spreadsheet strategies that rely on manual inputs. They lack a centralized system to manage the different aspects of their field service operations.

The digital revolution has affected the way we measure productivity in the field service business. This has taken the possibilities to a new height.
