The service delivery problem

Missed service levels are not a scheduling problem. They are a system problem.

Spreadsheet dispatch, manual work orders, and disconnected mobile workflows cost your team hours every shift and cost your organization revenue every month. The good news: each of these friction points has a direct fix in Dynamics 365 Field Service.

Without structured Field Service

Dispatchers work from spreadsheets or phone calls
Booking logic lives in someone's head, not in the system. One absence breaks the schedule.
Technicians arrive without the right parts
Asset history and inventory are disconnected. Repeat visits are the norm, not the exception.
Service level performance is invisible until it fails
No real-time dashboard. Leadership learns about breaches from customer complaints, not dashboards.

With Dynamics 365 Field Service configured by Redefine

Skills-based auto-scheduling fills the right technician
Territory logic, certifications, and travel time factor in automatically. Dispatch decisions happen in seconds.
Asset history and parts travel with every work order
Service history, warranty status, and parts recommendations are visible before the technician arrives on site.
Service level dashboards flag risks before they become breaches
Real-time performance views let operations managers intervene while there is still time to recover.

Service Contract Management

Core workstreams

What we implement for operational control

Six integrated workstreams, each built around an outcome your operations team can measure within the first quarter after go-live.

Dream outcome

Consistent on-time in-full service delivery with fewer fulfillment surprises and stronger customer reliability across every work order.

Effort reduction

Less manual reconciliation across customer, asset, shipping, and invoicing, reducing operational friction for both field and finance teams.

Time to first value

Early gains in close speed, fulfillment execution, and order accuracy, typically visible within the first four to six weeks after go-live.

Dream outcome

Reliable production-side service with fewer material shortages, reduced unplanned equipment downtime, and better first-time fix accuracy across lines.

Effort reduction

Reduced manual intervention in schedule corrections and parts procurement, with cleaner planning signals enabling faster, better-informed decisions.

Time to first value

Measurable improvements in service variance and planning reliability typically emerge within the first quarter after go-live.

Dream outcome

Clear, traceable link from project delivery to invoicing and margin reporting, eliminating uncertainty in project financial performance.

Effort reduction

Fewer manual follow-ups for unbilled work-in-progress balances, billing exceptions, and project status checks across both delivery and finance teams.

Time to first value

Early reductions in unbilled work-in-progress and faster billing conversion are typically measurable within the first few weeks after go-live.

01 · Work Order Management

Standardized service execution

Structure work order types, priority logic, incident templates, and completion workflows to improve consistency from intake to closure. Your team stops improvising and starts executing against a defined standard.

02 · Smart Scheduling

Right technician, right time

Configure schedule board views, skills-based assignment, territory logic, and booking rules to reduce delays and improve utilization.

03 · Mobile Technician App

Field-ready workflows

Enable technicians with mobile work orders, guided tasks, capture forms, notes, and status updates so field work remains accurate and auditable.

04 · Asset and Inventory

Parts and asset visibility

Map customer assets, service history, and parts tracking to reduce repeat visits and improve first-time fix performance.

05 · Customer Communications

Transparent appointment flow

Automate confirmations, reminders, and status notifications to keep customers informed before, during, and after service visits.

06 · Performance Reporting

Service measures that matter

Track response time, travel time, completion rate, first-time fix indicators, and service level adherence through role-specific dashboards. Every metric is tied to a decision your operations team can act on today.

Platform integrations

Field Service connects your entire operations stack

We configure integrations between Field Service and your resource planning, customer relationship, internet of things sensors, navigation routing, and Power BI layer so that data flows in both directions without manual reconciliation.

Inventory system integration

Parts consumed in the mobile app update warehouse inventory in real time. No end-of-day reconciliation required.

Accounting and billing system integration

Work order closure flows directly into your billing system. No manual invoice entry, no billing lag.

Case study

Connected service and sales operations on Dynamics 365.

Microsoft Dynamics 365Promotional Products DistributionUnited States

A United States based multi-channel distributor unifying lead handling, customer interactions, and operational follow-through across sales and service teams using Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise integrated with Business Central.

The operational problem

Lead management, call handling, and customer interaction data were fragmented across multiple platforms. Teams needed one unified system view to reduce manual errors and improve handoffs between sales and service. Billing visibility was delayed and work-in-progress balances were difficult to track in real time.

Fragmented customer data across 3 platforms
Manual handoffs between sales and service teams
No real-time visibility into billing status or work-in-progress

Solution and outcome

Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise was integrated with Business Central. Automated call recording, Power BI dashboards, and virtual agent workflows were deployed for consistent operations and full cross-platform visibility for both sales and service stakeholders.

Why Redefine

Four delivery commitments most implementation partners do not put in writing

Implementation partners differ on one thing: what they put in writing before the project starts. We commit to four controls that protect your team and your go-live date before a single configuration task begins.

Phase-gate delivery with written scope control

Every project phase is locked in writing before it begins. Inclusions, exclusions, and change control protocols are agreed before configuration starts. No scope creep by assumption.

Most partners: verbal scope agreement updated informally as the project moves.

Written acceptance testing before any go-live gate

Acceptance criteria for scheduling, dispatch, mobile workflows, and service level rules are written before build starts. If acceptance flows do not pass, we remediate and retest before proceeding. You never get pressured into a premature cutover.

Most partners: go-live decision is informal, pressure-driven, and verbal.

Named solution architect, not a rotating team

Your engagement has one named architect who owns the configuration, the integration design, and the go-live outcome. Not a delivery pool. Not a handoff to a junior team after discovery.

Most partners: senior resources present in presales, replaced by junior delivery staff during build.

30-day hypercare with ticket service level agreements in writing

Support after go-live is structured, not on-call goodwill. Written ticket service level agreements, a daily and weekly cadence, and a named escalation owner handle every issue in the critical first month of production.

Most partners: support ends at go-live or transitions to a generic shared help desk.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Dynamics 365 Field Service delivery

Scope is controlled through a written statement of work that defines all inclusions, exclusions, milestones, and acceptance criteria before the project starts. If a requirement changes after sign-off, we follow a formal change-order process so that the impact on budget, timeline, and delivery is agreed in writing before any additional work begins.

Our delivery is governed by agreed phase gates, not assumptions. If the acceptance testing flows defined in writing are not fully passed, we remediate all outstanding issues and revalidate before advancing to the next phase. Your team will never be pressured into a premature go-live decision.

We validate migration quality using row-count reconciliation, data completeness comparisons, and sampled open transactions across all critical entities. Results are fully documented and reviewed with your information technology and operations stakeholders before controller sign-off and formal cutover approval are granted.

Every project includes a 30-day hypercare period with written ticket service level agreements, a daily and weekly triage cadence, and priority handling for all core operational workflows. We also track training follow-ups and adoption blockers to ensure your teams can transition to steady-state operations with confidence.

We specialise in Field Service implementations for distribution and wholesale, manufacturing, and professional services firms. Each engagement uses sector-specific process mapping and test coverage tailored to your business model, whether the priority is first-time fix accuracy, service level reliability, or project-based billing control.

Yes. Qualified organisations receive a practical three-page work plan covering target outcomes, timeline assumptions, key risks, and our phase-gate model. You can review the full plan before making any commitment, and no retainer is required for qualified opportunities.

Is this a fit

Who Field Service implementation is built for

We would rather tell you upfront than waste a discovery call. Here is who this engagement serves well and who it does not.

Good fit when

You run a field workforce of ten or more technicians and dispatch is a daily bottleneck.
You operate in distribution and wholesale, manufacturing, or professional services.
You want a written, phase-gated delivery plan, not a verbal best-effort engagement.
Your team can commit three to four hours per week to discovery and acceptance reviews.

Not a fit if

You have one or two technicians and a paper diary still keeps the schedule under control.
You want a quick configuration with no discovery, no testing, and no acceptance criteria.
You need a live system this week and cannot allocate any internal time to the project.
You are not on Dynamics 365 and are not open to moving onto the platform.

Not sure? Tell us your situation and we will be straight with you.
