›Why field service needs a structured workflow
Field service means technicians on the road — HVAC, medical equipment, vending, industrial machinery, home appliances. Without a structured workflow, dispatchers juggle spreadsheets and phone calls, assignments miss the right skill or zone, and intervention reports come back as scribbled paper or lost photos.
The result: repeat visits, billing gaps, and unhappy customers. Utilyx models field service as an executable workflow with AI-assisted dispatch, scheduling, a mobile intervention form, photo upload, customer signature and PDF service report generation.
›The automated field service workflow
- Request: a service request is captured from the customer portal, call center or IoT alert. The workflow records the equipment, serial number, address and symptom.
- AI dispatch: the copilote IA assigns the best technician based on skill match, geographic zone, availability and SLA priority — using visual routing rules the dispatcher can override anytime.
- Scheduling: the intervention is placed on the technician's mobile calendar with optimized routing. The customer receives an ETA and a tracking link in their language (7 languages supported).
- Mobile intervention: on site, the technician opens the mobile intervention form — checklist, parts used, time spent, diagnostic codes. Photos of the equipment are uploaded directly from the phone.
- Resolution: the fix is documented; the customer signs on the mobile screen to acknowledge the intervention. usePDF generates a formal service report with photos, parts, labor and signature.
- Closure & archive: the service report is sent to the customer by email and archived in useArchive with the equipment record for warranty and compliance traceability.
- Follow-up: an NPS survey is auto-triggered 24 hours after the intervention.
›Concrete benefits
Teams using Utilyx cut repeat visits by 40% thanks to AI dispatch that matches the right skill and zone the first time. Mobile intervention forms eliminate paper and lost photos, and billing cycles shrink from weeks to days.
The no-code visual designer lets a service operations manager build the workflow without developers, and the AI copilot generates dispatch rules from a plain-language description — 60% faster deployment at 70% lower TCO than legacy field-service platforms.
›Mobility & traceability
The mobile form works offline and syncs when connectivity returns — critical for remote sites. Every photo, signature and part is timestamped and geolocated, producing a full audit trail.
usePDF service reports and useArchive retention give warranty and regulatory teams instant access to the complete intervention history per equipment.
›The workflow in real time
Every node is executable, every branch is testable. Visualize the actual flow of your data while you design.
