Providing continuous service to customers is part of any business operation in order to keep customers happy and loyal and increase the company's brand value. But managing and tracking services is not always easy especially in scenarios such as complex service distribution systems, industrial service environments with bills of materials and high volume of dispatching service technicians with requirements for spare parts managements.
