Functionalities
Users can self-register their service request over the internet within no time. Service department representatives can also register the service calls on behalf of users, in case they are unable to register by themselves, and inform the service call ID. Service department is notified about new request through system notifications. The service department can view all registered service requests from Service Call Inquiry. The module provides feature to convert a service call into quotation or work order as per requirement.
Quotations are created on customer's request for letting them know about the tentative price they will have to pay in order to get the fixing or repairing services of machine & equipment. SDX has a feature that allows to revise and reuse any previous quotation. A quotation once confirmed by the customer can be converted to Work Order for further processing.
