Introduction

Give your field teams a 360° view—before they park the car.

Dealer and partner visits shouldn’t start with “Catch me up.” The Field Contact Tool puts case history, knowledge, and next-best actions directly into your rep’s pocket - so every on-site minute moves the needle.

The problem we keep seeing?

Distributed networks (dealers, service centres, franchise partners) still rely on scattered inboxes and phone trees. That creates familiar pain:

  • Dealers don’t know who to contact; requests bounce around.
  • Field reps arrive blind - no quick view of open issues or history.
  • Back office and field work in different tools, so context gets lost.
  • Leaders lack a single source of truth for trends, sentiment, and SLAs.

The result: longer resolution times, higher cost-to-serve, and inconsistent CX.

What is Field Contact Tool is?

An application for field and dealer operations - built on an enterprise service platform - that consolidates:

  • Instant 360° context (open & historic cases, assets, entitlements, key contacts).
  • Smart intake & routing (raise/update cases with guided forms that reach the right team first time).
  • Contextual knowledge (KB and checklists at the point of service).
  • Evidence capture (notes, photos, signatures) tied to the case.
  • Real-time collaboration (loop in expert groups without leaving the app).
  • Dashboards & sentiment (see volume, themes, satisfaction, and cycle times live).

Proof (anonymised)

  • ≈45 % fewer emails after retiring legacy inboxes and moving to a single digital intake.
  • Adoption at scale: hundreds of specialists across dozens of teams collaborating in one hub.
  • Dealer satisfaction up; executives prep visits with a true 360° view in seconds.

Business outcomes you can expect

  • Faster time to resolution because requests land with the right group first time.
  • Higher first-time fix via contextual knowledge and checklists.
  • Lower email/phone noise by closing back-door channels.
  • Cleaner data for compliance, analytics, and continual improvement.
  • Happier dealers & partners—conversations start at solution, not discovery.

Why teams adopt it

  • Zero surprises on site: reps review open issues before they arrive.
  • One door, one language: dealers and field speak through a single hub.
  • Less friction: guided forms beat free-text emails every time.
  • Visible wins: leaders see the trend lines move in real time.

Implementation approach

Discover (Weeks 1–2)
Map your top 5 field journeys; define routing rules, roles, KPIs, and required data.

Build (Weeks 3–5)
Configure workspace, and knowledge; integrate systems, prepare applications.

Pilot (Weeks 6–7)
Run with a champion group; fix friction fast (form steps, missing KB, routing).

Launch (Weeks 8–10)
Close legacy channels (old inboxes/forms), publish a simple scorecard, and start a monthly improvement cadence.

Is this just for automotive?

No. Any distributed network - dealers, franchisees, service centres, field service organisations—benefits from the same pattern: single intake, mobile context, guided action, shared data.
