Comarch, leading global IT provider, announced that it has secured a major contract with open eir to transform field services, aiming to improve customer experience with the implementation of a unified technician platform.
open eir is Ireland's largest supplier of wholesale broadband, data facilities, voice, international, and managed services communication services. The company employs approximately 1,000 field technicians, who are responsible for the provision and repair of services on open eir’s networks, including copper, fiber to the cabinet (FTTC), and fiber to the home (FTTH).
open eir is embarking on a journey to transform customer experiences and establish itself as the preferred network for users. Central to this transformation is the implementation of an advanced field service management system designed to enhance service efficiency, by scheduling customer meetings in the shortest possible lead time, providing end customers with the ability to track field technicians in real time, providing customers with the flexibility to reschedule appointments as required, optimising time management and deployment of field technicians, and keeping up to date with best practices in the area of field service management.
Comarch Field Service Management (FSM) solution is uniquely designed for telecom operations and offers one of the most advanced scheduling tools and mobile access for technicians. For that reason, it was selected to aid open eir’s operational support systems (OSS), which handle thousands of orders a day.
