Technical service software (field service management / FSM software) manages service requests, work orders, technician assignments, device or asset history, and field reporting in one operations system. It replaces Excel, chat threads, and scattered forms with structured records. PureField technical service software runs on the same platform as CRM, ERP, purchasing, finance, and AI agents.
What does technical service software manage?
| Area | What the system holds |
|---|---|
| Service request | Customer, device, description, priority |
| Work order | Assignment, schedule, status, field notes |
| Asset history | Prior services, parts, warranty |
| Field proof | Photo, signature, form, location |
| Reporting | Service statistics, equipment and cost charts |
How is it different from Excel or chat?
| Excel / chat | Technical service software |
|---|---|
| Scattered messages | One work order record |
| Asset history invisible | Full history on asset card |
| Delayed reports | Field logs in real time |
| CRM disconnected | Sales and service on same customer record |
How does the technical service flow work in PureField?
1. The customer calls, or writes through the app or an external request form. The request is linked to the customer record and the equipment, and the warranty status shows. 2. The service manager picks the technician, date, and checklist; suitable technicians are scored and ranked, and you approve the assignment. 3. The technician scans the QR code, and the equipment's warranty, documents, and recent maintenance open. 4. The field team enters the checklist, photos, and signature in the mobile app. 5. The PDF report goes to the customer by email and the work order closes; the next maintenance date is written to the equipment record.

Frequently asked questions
How does technical service software work with CRM?
In PureField both work on the same customer and device record, so the context from the sale stays in front of the service team.
Is there mobile usage?
Yes. Field teams enter work orders, forms, and photo proof via the mobile app.
How is technical service software different from CMMS?
FSM focuses on field execution; CMMS deepens planned maintenance and asset lifecycle. In PureField, work orders, QR equipment records, and maintenance reminders sit in the same Field Service module. When the maintenance date approaches, the customer gets a reminder and your team opens the work order.
