Overall the experience is positive and we believe it will have a significant impact on our business. This includes our ability to increase service revenue through multi-trip work orders, and cut costs with tighter management of our inventory.
Pros
Field service allows us to update our inventory as it is used in the field, while also allowing us to track and bill for work orders with multiple site visits, and/or complicated multi-step solutions. Additionally, it allows us to visually track the schedules of more technicians while allowing us to set standards for our management team as it relates to fulfillment and billing.
Cons
As with all things salesforce, it is not simple to understand out of the box. May items are customized, and these are natural adjustments to the users. The implementing company you partner with is critical to getting things off the ground. It also requires at least one individual who is confident enough to tinker in the software and mobile application as small issues arise during implementation.

IT DOESN'T WORK . After countless meetings with Salesforce and the implementation team, they have admitted that it does not work as we were promised it would. But, they have an iron clad contract that does state that it doesn't matter if it works or not, you must pay. We have now been sent to collections. Their best offer for resolving the problem, was to offer us "Premier Service", which means someone will call you back with in an hour. Since regular service means they never call back, it might be worth something, but not for a program that doesn't work
Pros
The sales and marketing team promised that this software would solve all of our issues and problems.
Cons
We were told that it would take 3 months to build our instance. It has been over 18 months and we continue to pay for a non-functioning product. It is so complicated, the interface programmers have never been able to create and dispatch a work order using this product.
