Welcome to the 18th Formbird Professionals Community Meet-Up. In this meet-up, we discussed how to streamline workshop processes to reduce operational friction, work orders, request management, and the rollout of version 4 of Formbird FLEET. Register now so you can be part of the next meet-up: https://www.formbird.com/category/fleet-professionals-community/
Opening Remarks: The discussion focuses on the challenges related to expected start and finish times for work orders and requests.
Field Worker Access: The conversation delves into field workers’ limitations when accessing certain data, such as expected start and finish times.
Creating Service Requests: A discussion arises about the inability of field workers to create service requests directly from the daily driver checklist and the resulting need to cancel and recreate requests.
Improving Request Management: Ideas such as having separate fields for requested and confirmed dates and introducing a “confirmed” flag to streamline the process are explored.
Update of Fleet Application FL4: Details about the rollout of the new version of the Fleet application, starting with a test site and individual customer implementation.
Feedback and Adjustments: The discussion concludes with valuable feedback on work order adjustments and the need to move work orders between requests.
Stay tuned as we dive deeper to uncover valuable insights and solutions in the world of work order management and application development.
