Field service teams are under pressure, more jobs, higher customer expectations, growing fleets, and increasingly complex back-office workflows. But many organizations try to scale on disconnected tools, CRM in one place, FSM in another, accounting somewhere else, plus fleet and IoT data living in their own worlds. The result is fragmentation that creates manual handoffs, inconsistent data, delayed decisions, poor technician prep, revenue leakage, and a messy customer experience.

In this episode, we break down what an integrated field service ecosystem actually looks like, and why putting your Field Service Management platform at the center is the fastest path to sustainable growth. You’ll learn how to connect CRM, FSM, accounting, fleet, and IoT systems into a single operational backbone, so data flows cleanly, teams work from one source of truth, and every job moves from quote to cash without friction.
