What Is Field Service Automation?

Defining field service automation

Field service automation is the use of technology to streamline and optimize how field technicians do their jobs. Instead of relying on manual, paper-based processes, automation digitizes workflows, eliminates repetitive tasks, and can even make intelligent decisions about scheduling, dispatching, and resource allocation using AI, machine learning and AI agents.
