ServiceMax vs Spoors

ServiceMax is a cloud-based field service platform for managing work from scheduling and dispatch through task execution, completion reporting and invoicing. Scheduling assigns technicians based on location, skills, availability, route optimization and job requirements. Its mobile app gives technicians work orders, customer information, procedures, checklists and forms, online or offline. The platform tracks asset health, maintenance history and service interventions. Customers can follow service progress, schedule appointments and view asset data through a portal. Remote service includes IoT data, video conferencing, augmented reality tools and chat. Analytics cover technician productivity, resolution times, cost to serve and service profitability. ServiceMax is built as a Salesforce application and can integrate with SAP, ERP and CRM systems, as well as IoT data sources, through APIs and integration frameworks. It is cloud-only and available on web and mobile. The pricing page does not provide a price; pricing is available by contacting PTC. No free plan is stated.
