Frequently Asked Questions

What is Crowd Service and how does it integrate with SAP Field Service Management?

Crowd service is a pool of certified and trained partners and third-party vendors available to respond to service calls when needed. Crowd service equips your organisation with a sizable and knowledgeable team of technicians -a team that can keep pace with rising customer expectations and enable predictive maintenance models- while ensuring that they are following all your processes, and that the customer is getting as good an experience from them as they are by your employees.

How does SAP Crowd Service empower field service organisations to manage their contingent workforce and partners?

SAP Crowd Service helps your company build an own ecosystem of internal and external experts and technicians, and enables you to increase geographical coverage and provide faster service to the field and react fast to peaks in service request demands.

Thanks to integration to field service management software, external workers get also access to internal company manuals, tutorials, and videos, as well as to customer specifics and device specifics for getting the job done quickly and effectively.
