Enhancing Field Operations By Accurate Data Collection For Valuable Insights

Services Provided

The Goal

The agency desired to get more transparency of the way field agents spent their time and communicated with clients, such as session length, frequency of visits, and service demand.

The Outcome

With the help of Folio3, SightLine now delivers measurable benefits to agencies through an intuitive, easy-to-adopt application. Accurate data capture provides clearer reporting, enabling management to make timely, informed decisions and focus on what matters most.

Executive Summary

Field services intelligence platform, SightLine, partnered with Folio3 to develop and roll out a subscription-based platform that converts field operations into actionable insights on a daily basis. Among its largest deployments was with an agency serving a government organization dedicated to child care, child welfare, and youth support. The agency also had a hard time seeing how field agents spent their time and was using manual processes to track client interactions, which were inefficient and did not provide any actionable data. Folio3 provided an AI-based solution that simplified field operations, provided real-time analytics using the data that had not been captured before, and gave management the power to make decisions based on data.

Unique Business Challenges they faced

Time Tracking

The agency had no visibility as to the amount of time the agents spent on direct client work, indirect support, or non-client work.

Client Insights

They were not able to monitor the session duration, repeat sessions or most commonly used services.

Manual Processes

All tracking was done through paper-based methods, leading to inefficiency and errors.

Data Visibility

Lack of access to reliable real-time data could not help the management make informed decisions.

Key Business Drivers & Objectives

Create a subscription-based field services product that is scalable.
Offer transparency of field agent time allocation and activity.
Facilitate real time analysis to enable data driven decision making.

The Solution Delivered

We managed to deploy Dynamics 365 Field Service to the Sightline, providing end users with a tailor-made mobile app that will not only offer offline support but also multilingual options to manage their everyday operations. The mobile application was connected to Google Firebase, and the communication between Firebase and D365 was intermediated by Burq iPaaS, where our team created services to enable required business operations.

The Folio3 team performed the whole technical implementation. Like any solution, any decisions associated with licensing were presented and agreed upon with the client.
