WennSoft Brings Field Service Organizations a User-Focused Experience

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:29:00 -0500

WennSoft Evolution® steps ahead with a Microsoft Dynamics® CRM and Microsoft Dynamics AX based solution

NEW BERLIN, Wis. — WennSoft announced today the global availability of release 3 (R3) for WennSoft Evolution. The release expands the functionality available including the much anticipated integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX.

WennSoft Evolution was built on the xRM framework of Microsoft Dynamics CRM specifically to address the user requirements of those who manage the complexity of doing work order and asset management.

Sales, installation, maintenance and service of equipment
Identifying and managing the service locations, agreements, tasking and scheduling of technicians in the field
Quoting to invoicing seamlessly

Extending the WennSoft Evolution footprint to include Microsoft Dynamics AX ensures users can start with the functionality they need to support their business, and grow the solution as their business requirements change. Moreover, it allows customers to ensure their individual users have the tools and experiences they need to do their jobs – whatever their role.

“In a world where your office is at your fingertips, users are absolutely at the center of how we design products.’ says Julie West, President/COO at WennSoft. “A single solution experience across multiple devices, or interfaces, helps to ensure that every user delivers against their business objectives anytime and anyplace.”

Field technicians have the tools they need regardless of circumstance. Whether they carry one device or three, their experience has been designed to ensure that on a rooftop, in a concrete basement, or at an oil derrick - miles from anywhere, they have the information needed to do their job. They can grab their appointments and the information needed, do the work keeping the data on their device locally or transmitting it via wireless when it’s available – a true ‘store and forward’ solution. What’s more – it doesn’t matter if they want to run iOS, Windows, Android, or a combination of those devices – the solution works across operating systems. Further – their experience is native to their operating system of choice.

Dispatchers and service coordinators can graphically drag and drop appointments into the schedule to ensure customer service levels are met, and technician resourcing is optimized. Overlap appointments, book multiple tasks or segments against a single work order, and manage technician availability.

Sales and marketing team members have access anytime and anywhere - through Microsoft Outlook, via the web client, or on their smartphone. Whether they’re on the road, at home or in the office, WennSoft Evolution takes advantage of all Microsoft Dynamics CRM has offer and then extends it exponentially. From campaigns, to contract renewals or warranty communications, the sales process and on-going service – they can serve and guide customers, collaborate to ensure mutual success, and smartly drive better business.

Project managers are armed in the field and in the office whether they’re focused on work order based projects and installations, or they manage complex projects - they can leverage the best of WennSoft Evolution or Microsoft Dynamics AX depending on what their role requires of them.

Back office and administrative resources have transactional power and business insights they need to make informed decisions. Insights are delivered stand-alone, integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX, or integrated with the other solutions used in their offices today.

Why CRM?
Evolution was built on CRM because it delivers on the focus of our users – relationships. A majority of our users focus on relationships – with their customers; of schedules and tasks; of locations, assets, and equipment; of their sub-contractors, vendors and suppliers. Providing that with the market leading CRM application included only makes sense. Building a solution that can run stand-alone, integrated with AX, or another ERP – that’s truly providing choice and flexibility.

Why AX?
Microsoft Dynamics AX has the global-ready ERP attributes our Evolution customers may demand. The commitment AX has to continue delivering platform functionality for services-centric organizations makes it a strategic fit for WennSoft.

“We’ve worked with Microsoft Dynamics for almost two decades. Based on the experiences of our customers and prospects, it was critical that when we were in the design phase for WennSoft Evolution, that we built the solution based on that experience. Not all customers want to tie the decision they make in managing their sales, marketing, helpdesk, field service operations and projects to their ERP.” says WennSoft CEO, Jim Wenninger. ‘We’re committed to delivering the right innovation and tools for field service organizations that have the functionality tailored to users in their roles.”

WennSoft Evolution Availability
WennSoft Evolution is a complete operational solution for organizations focused on work order management, asset management, installation, field service and maintenance. It serves asset-centric organizations in the specialty trades, oil and gas, renewable energy, heavy construction, and manufacturing and distribution markets.

WennSoft Evolution is available today from WennSoft and WennSoft partners. Customers have the choice to deploy their entire WennSoft solutions on-premises or in the cloud. Customers can also license solutions perpetually or through a subscription model.

WennSoft Acquires Service Estimating Solution

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:29:00 -0500

NEW BERLIN, Wis. — WennSoft announces an asset acquisition from Ensemble, LLC of Littleton Colorado. The solution has been privately labeled as “Service Estimator” and offered as part of WennSoft Signature® for over a year. It will now be developed by WennSoft, and licensed exclusively through WennSoft and their reselling partners.

Service Estimator is simple and smart. It arms sales with a familiar tool based on Microsoft Office® Excel to provide estimates on maintenance contracts or service calls to customers. Modifications can be made based on specific tasking requirements and visit schedules, then submit the agreed upon estimate to the office for approval and automated set up. While there are all kinds of maintenance and service estimating tools in the market, a few things help Service Estimator rise to the top.

Pre-configured manufacturer equipment tasking templates provided with the solution help decrease the chance of data entry error, which means less work in creating service call tasks. The tasking templates can be modified throughout the sales process, ensuring the right services and their associated tasks are included on contracts or service calls prior to completing the quote. Customers can also leverage any current task and equipment lists in use today within the system for estimating.

“We’re excited about the Service Estimator because it is fast, flexible and paperless’, says general manager, Al Cannon, of Storer Equipment Company. ‘We can now get rid of the spreadsheets we’ve been using and the manual way of tracking quoted work. This provides our newer technicians a way to grow in their roles, and having the task list available to them in a service call, or maintenance contract, helps them get trained more quickly.”

Customer tailored proposals provide visibility into the tasks included as well as what’s excluded. This provides both the customer and service organization clear expectations on the maintenance contract or service call.

One click of the button set up once the estimate is approved the system will automatically finish the work. Contract start and end dates are processed; equipment, tasking, and materials required are populated; and scheduled visits are booked. Service Estimator customers are set to exceed their customers’ expectations. “The fact that it pulls all the tasks into the Maintenance Contract is a wonder! It saves so much time and it is a simple product to use,” says service coordinator, Carol Justis, of Seiberlich Trane.

“WennSoft has always specialized in ensuring the field service organizations have the technology they need to compete and to grow.’ says Jim Wenninger, CEO of WennSoft, ‘This acquisition is exciting because it truly provides a competitive service differentiator. Committed services are accurately delivered – no more, and no less; and satisfied customers become loyal customers. Because of the strong partnerships we have with our customers and our focus on the field service market, we’re uniquely positioned to continue delivering the innovation customers need.”

Availability
The Service Estimator for WennSoft Signature is available today directly from WennSoft and from qualified WennSoft Signature reselling partners. WennSoft provides customers the choice to deploy their entire WennSoft Signature solution on-premises or in the cloud. Customers can also license solutions perpetually or through a subscription model.

“Evolution has been designed to help organizations who want more – market leaders who know that keeping the customer at the center of your business sets you apart. They need the complete solution delivered how and when it fits their plans, with the flexibility that allows their organizations to grow untethered.” says Julie West, President and COO of WennSoft.

Relationships First
Evolution provides users the information they need to build and maintain long term relationships with customers, suppliers and vendors, and to accurately track all tools, equipment and assets. Strong cross-department cooperation is supported by roles based access to information and the workflow to drive timely action. The ability to collaborate through the use of mobile and portal solutions ensures customers and technicians are informed. Sales and service are aligned and customers’ expectations are met.

Access and Accountability
Evolution enables accountability by providing access to all information — whenever it’s needed, from any location, and from multiple devices. Access to information drives action – dispatch can graphically drag and drop activities and appointments to ensure SLAs are met. Technicians, tools and equipment can be scheduled on work orders reducing trips to the office. Marketing can track warranties and ensure clear communications and follow up offers are delivered on time. Sales and service have a closed loop – so no opportunity is left unaddressed, and consistent service is provided. Asset managers have a pulse on their own, and their customers’ equipment, with tools to manage simple to complex hierarchical relationships, streamline model configurations, and track utilization and maintenance. The result: Cross organization accountability drives limitless business opportunity.

Choice and Flexibility
Evolution grows with a company. It can be implemented in phases, or at once across the entire organization, based on customer requirements. Furthermore, Evolution can be deployed on premise or in the cloud. And it can be used as a stand-alone solution or integrated with ERP applications, additional operational software packages or web services.

Evolution supports Microsoft Outlook as a client, giving end users a familiar, intuitive work interface. It is also accessible from a web-client. Finally, technicians in the field can use multiple devices across operating systems -iOS, Android and Windows 7 - to access FieldTech, a mobile solution that has both online as well as “Store and Forward” capabilities.

“With almost two decades of delivering operational solutions to customers in these markets, we’ve had an incredible advantage in building Evolution.’ says Jim Wenninger, CEO of WennSoft. ‘Evolution delivers the competitive advantage that so many companies are looking for – the missing link to their operational success.”
