IFS Field Service Management
The company was also able to greatly streamline its travel accounting, no small
feat for an organization that bills out almost five million travel miles a year to
support its customers. But through IFS Field Service Management solution integration with Bing, the company is able to automatically calculate mileage and bill
appropriately. Time and expense reports, previously time-consuming manual
procedures, are now automatically recorded and sent to clients.
By bringing all these previously disparate measurements into a single location,
TH Hill has put its project management staff in a position to do their job, said
Harrison. Having an overall view helped the company better understand its
business, including how many jobs were ongoing, which resources were assigned
to which jobs, and the status of those assignments.
IFS Field Service Management has afforded us the ability to have a controlled
environment for all of our transactions, said Harrison. We dont sweat the small
stuff anymore; we can now focus on value in the business. This one environment
has given us that control.
TH Hill also attributes its 38% revenue growth in 2011, and 34% in the first
seven months of 2012, to the IFS solution. In the opinion of TH Hill executive
management, there is no way we could have managed this growth without
implementing IFS Field Service Management, said Harrison.
