Managing Priorities: Scheduled vs Reactive Service Events
Day to day business requires addressing crises and reacting to client needs, but a steady maintenance schedule can prevent or catch critical errors before they negatively impact machines, clients and cause late-night repair calls.
The machines our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) clients create and send out into the world are consequential. The loss of connectivity, errors resulting from the lack of proper use, proper training, or a malfunction can be the difference between life and death.
With so much on the line, it is essential that the carefully calibrated tools you’ve created are maintained regularly by trained technicians with knowledge in your industry and training on your devices.
Qualified Teams Impact Business Outcomes
Getting highly qualified team members that can execute the level of maintenance required and perform repairs on a consistent and regular basis is either highly costly or logistically complex, with travel schedules and a lean group of technicians crisscrossing the country.
As the leading technical services provider for OEMs worldwide, Quest specializes in:
Service Is Our Core Competency
Our approach to field service is to provide strategically located, experienced Field Service technicians to decrease response times, thereby shortening customer equipment downtime. Our process assigns a full-time or fractional single field service technician trained on your product in order to support you, with the scalability and flexibility to ensure all of your field service needs are being met.
Many OEMs struggle to manage a highly specialized workforce over vast geographies, as new device installations and emergency repairs take priority.
It can be a challenge to prioritize their existing install base with non-critical routine maintenance activities. But the fact is, many distributors or resellers of OEMs cannot reflect the highest level of care and attention to detail that OEMs work so hard to establish.
What is “Master Training”
Quest is the right partner to maintain OEM standards. Our “Master Training Program” allows our personnel to be certified on your systems to execute future training autonomously. This program takes on the challenge of training new resources required for growth and expansion while freeing up your time to focus on other priorities and new customers.
Master Training curriculum is in accordance with OEM guidelines and incorporated within Quest’s ISO-accredited Quality Management System with scheduled refresher training and retention assurances.
Quest’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is fully integrated within our software stack to manage everything from field service scheduling activities and digital time and material capture to customized service completion surveys. This workflow ensures that all aspects of field activity, on-time delivery, and customer satisfaction are captured.
Logistics & Spare Parts Management
Quest offers on-demand and incremental warehouse space to manage spare parts and logistics for field activities. Spare part shipments and inventory management are handled with the utmost care, and solutions are crafted to meet our client’s global market and diverse delivery requirements.
Our customized ERP system is designed to track minimum stocking levels and lead times to receive spare parts, ensuring the optimal availability of critical parts required to maximize system uptime. Additionally, Quest can use our OEM’s own internal CRM and ERP systems to ensure data is captured and available to customers in real-time.
