Bookings Diary
The bookings diary is the ultimate solution for streamlining communication across administrative teams, mobile workers, and management.
With the diary you have the ability to visually track your engineers’ activities as a team or individually. Also you can easily monitor their progress and ensure that all appointments are met.
Whether viewing by day, week, or month, different users can easily edit bookings, find openings and make necessary cancellations.
Scheduling Engineers
The scheduler is a comprehensive tool that displays all upcoming bookings. Including jobs for your site technicians and engineering team, making it easier than ever to manage your daily schedule.
Whether you’re looking to filter internal jobs, customer appointments, field service jobs, by day, week, or month. SAM’s innovative platform has got you covered.
Additionally, you can view each service technician or engineer’s diary separately, giving you unparalleled insight into your team’s daily activities. With our powerful scheduler, you’ll be able to streamline your operations and boost productivity like never before.
Resource Planning
Where the scheduler is used in a production environment, it helps to minimize production times and costs. You can do this by managing and creating a schedule based on the actual available capacity at any given time. This enables you to respond quickly to both internal and external changing demands.
The system also ensures that stock levels are reduced as materials are only ordered when required. Operations are only scheduled when resources are available, reducing work in progress (W.I.P) and avoiding bottlenecks in production. Corrective action can be taken to prevent late deliveries.
The scheduler uses simple drag-and-drop technology so that users can undertake “what-if” scenarios. This is useful while planning to find an alternative, viable production plan. It automatically reschedules the workload for the affected resource. Then it reschedules the operations across the entire shop floor, so you can see how the production schedule is affected.
