Real-time Communications Key for Field Service Workers
Findings from "Effective Enterprise Communication: The Foundation Of Strategic Field Service" a recent report from Field Technologies Magazine commissioned by Zinc that demonstrated real-time communication is either mission-critical (50%) or very important (40%) to deskless workers to be able to do their jobs effectively. The report also reinforces the notion that real-time communication drives measurable results for field teams, and that innovative field service organizations who embrace a communication platform built for deskless workers will improve the productivity of their workforce by giving them real-time access to the information and resources they need to get their jobs done.
