    Carry out multiple jobs at one customer without duplicate administration

    Sometimes several jobs need to be carried out at the same location. With Sigmax Connect, the technician can handle multiple activities as a single job, completing the work without any duplicate actions. The technician can also view upcoming maintenance required at the location. If there is time left, they can take care of it right away.

    • Dynamic workflows in Connect show the technician exactly what they need, at the right moment.

    The most useful features for property maintenance:
    Approval
    After the work has been completed, the customer signs in Connect to approve the job. For assignments with multiple objects to be serviced, the customer only needs to sign once. Customer friendly and time saving.
    Working time registration
    Correct labour time registration is essential for billing. In Connect, this process can be automated.
    Attachments
    Add photos, sketches, PDF and Excel files.
    Bundling work orders
    Combine multiple objects to be serviced into a single assignment.
    Communicate with the field service team
    Send technicians messages or documents via Connect. Technicians can also receive urgent jobs directly in Connect.
    Configurable questionnaires
    Add mandatory questions or make them dynamic by using conditional questions. The possibilities are endless.
    Register commercial opportunities
    Technicians can conclude service and maintenance contracts on site via Connect. They can also record commercial opportunities for the sales department through questionnaires.
    Customer engagement
    Automatically send customers updates about schedules and work orders.
    Direct payment
    Allow the customer to pay immediately at the door after the work is completed — directly in Connect and without an external payment terminal.
    Invoicing and payment
    Invoices are automatically generated based on time registration and used materials. Warranty conditions, contract coverage and payment terms are taken into account. Customers can then pay the invoice directly in Connect, for example via contactless payment or direct debit authorisation.
    Photos and sketches
    Add multiple photos, sketches or other attachments to your work order. Photos and attachments can be configured as mandatory or optional at various stages in your workflow.
    IoT support
    Insight into performance, status and exact location of assets. Automatic alerts in case of malfunctions.
    Location tree
    When a building contains multiple objects to be serviced, technicians need to know their precise locations. The location tree gives clear insight into all objects and their exact locations within Connect.
    Logistics and inventory management
    100 percent error free inventory management thanks to the registration of all item movements. Insight into your own warehouse and third party stock (e.g. nearby technicians). Correct stock differences between warehouses and check received goods.

    Asset management
    In Connect, you can link objects to locations (location tree), view contractual agreements, and modify object properties. Technicians can also add new objects or replace existing ones.
    Unplanned tasks
    Technicians gain insight into unplanned tasks via Connect — ideal when they unexpectedly have time left.
    Online customer information
    In case of malfunctions outside office hours, it is efficient to have insight into payment arrears, contracts and object history beforehand. This helps the technician decide whether a work order should be created in the ERP or planning system.
    Issue registration
    Easily register a problem or defect in Connect. Based on the selected issue, the technician is guided through the analysis and registration process.
    Smart notifications
    Inform your customers proactively and in real time about the time window of planned work or changes. Customers automatically receive an email, SMS or WhatsApp message with the expected time window.
    Time registration

    Schedule follow-up appointments
    If a job cannot be completed in one visit, schedule a new appointment together with the customer immediately — convenient and customer friendly.
    Stock management
    Service employees count their vehicle stock several times a year. This allows technicians to carry out stock counts between jobs without sacrificing an entire workday.
