Skill Sets: Feature Overview
The new Skill Sets feature is designed to enhance the accuracy of scheduling and routing by allowing companies to align their field force skills with the specific requirements of each job. By implementing skill-based assignments, logistixAI ensures that each order is matched to a resource with the appropriate qualifications, which optimizes service quality, improves efficiency, and increases customer satisfaction. This feature is integrated across several core areas of the system, enabling seamless management and utilization of skill sets from setup to order completion.
Skill Sets Feature Components
Company Skill Set Management
Admin users can create, define, and manage a library of skill sets that align with their unique service offerings. Skill sets can be tailored to a company’s needs and represent specific competencies such as HVAC repair, appliance installation, electrical work, plumbing, and more.
Technician Skill Set Assignment
Once skill sets are established, admins can assign relevant skills to individual technicians based on their qualifications and certifications. This ensures that the technician profiles accurately reflect their capabilities and that assignments are based on verified skills.
Skill Set Assignment at Order Creation
At the time of order creation, users can define required skill sets for each job. This ensures that when orders are scheduled, only technicians with the necessary skills will be eligible, increasing the likelihood of first-time job completion and reducing rework or delays.
Managing Skill Sets within Orders
As jobs progress, admins or dispatchers can update or modify skill requirements in response to new information or changes in job scope. This flexibility allows companies to adapt to shifting requirements and keep assignments aligned with real-time needs.
Skill Sets in Automated Scheduling/Routing
The system’s automated scheduling and routing functionality now incorporates skill sets as a primary factor, assigning jobs to technicians whose skills align with the order requirements. This approach streamlines operations, ensures effective resource utilization, and increases the likelihood of successful service completion.
