Worldwide, customers and dealers lose billions of dollars per year not repairing equipment on the first visit to the site. Current methods of phone calls and email are challenging for the equipment user to supply the servicing dealer with enough information to prioritize down units and enough details about the issue to fix the unit on the first visit.
A Quick Response Digital Platform changes this process with a simple scan of the encrypted decal with smartphone app technology. Immediately the service request is in the dealer portal for analysis and technician dispatch. This is really big, important news for field service operations.
The entire service request process in 45 seconds, with 100% accuracy! The machinery dealer benefit is a 60% Increase in 1st Call Fix Completion Rate by having accurate and concise service request data with planning!
This system is now available through HIVE Quick Response, HIVEQR.com
How It Works
The HIVE Quick Response platform has transformed the field service request process. This traditional process is moved to a digital platform of secure links between machine users and servicing dealers. It is easily installed cloud-based technology with an incredibly low investment point.
The Quick Response digital platform changes the field service request process with a simple scan of the encrypted decal via our free Smartphone App technology. Immediately the service request is displayed in the dealer portal for analysis and technician dispatch.
Prioritizing each request is now possible. Every request shows if the unit is down or still operating. Down units will be moved to priority one status.
The service request process takes less than 45 seconds for your customer. It is simple and fast. The Service Coordination team immediately receives the unit’s vital data, location, and issue in a secure portal. The data allows for a process change to pre-call plan your service calls for required parts and technical review. This critical step significantly reduces costs and improves uptime. And, most importantly, the dealer can achieve a 60% increase in 1st call completion rate through pre-call diagnostics and having the right parts on the call.
