Special challenge for the new sales tool
The introduction of mobile devices for the field service, which also needs up-to-date information and contact data on the go.
The central task at Diessner was to increase transparency in field service control with a new sales tool and to technically adapt it to the system of the parent company SAKRET in order to make the cooperation even more effective.
A major step was the introduction of mobile devices for the field service, which also needs up-to-date information and contact data on the go. This includes reading, editing and creating documents in order to make everyday work productive even during a business trip. In order to remain competitive, this is essential.
