While reading up on the news today in the field service industry, I found yet another example of a field services management company which is just one of many similar companies, claiming to be the “leading” company in the industry.

Most of the clients that come to us are in service management of some sort or another.

One of the questions we are asked a lot when talking with clients is, “Does your service management software integrate with […]”, followed by any number of different software products, such as Quickbooks, Opera, Sage, Xero, Google Calendar, etc. Instead of spending decades and linking individually to each of these, we decided to use the…
