There’s no doubt that the Point of Sale (POS) industry is experiencing a boom: in 2022 global market size was valued at $85 billion and was forecasted to reach $180 billion by 2032. In the wake of COVID-19, consumers expect digital solutions that include cashless payments, causing a sharp increase in demand for card-based, smart device, and mobile POS transactions.
However, a number of POS businesses are experiencing challenges that make scaling difficult.
As the most flexible and customizable field service management software available, Zuper bolsters the management of your field operations and integrates smoothly with your existing platforms. It provides your teams with the tools they need to deliver exceptional customer experiences.

Office and field teams easily manage jobs of any size, whether they be in-store or mobile POS terminal installs or repair and ongoing maintenance. Given that Zuper integrates seamlessly with most CRMs and ticketing apps, the days of laboring under multiple apps around your work order management are gone.

Visibility with Drag-and-drop Scheduling
Smart scheduling with Zuper enables your back office to easily create custom schedules for each service technician. They tap the platform’s automation capabilities to assign and reassign incoming work orders and service requests based on skill, location, availability, and level of urgency.

Zuper allows your teams to automate or manually generate team alerts, ETAs, and customer notifications to increase service time accuracy. Alterations in the schedule are synchronized with a field worker’s mobile app, so they are able to respond in real time.
Costs Savings with Route Optimization
As an alternative to inefficient paper-based route maps, data-backed route optimization saves money and time and maximizes what each tech can handle.

AI-Powered Time and Location Tracking
Time and location tracking with Zuper minimize timesheet errors, data discrepancies, and miscommunication among staff and customers.
Trim Hours Off Field Operations Using Geo-Fencing
Dispatchers have ongoing updates about work order status via geo-fencing set up for your specific service areas. The platform can be configured to generate automated updates based on technician proximity to locations. These shift-based punch-ins and outs grant them the ability to keep an eye on field staff productivity. Supervisors are better able to coordinate workflows, track working hours, and calculate billable hours.

This decreases the time it takes to process payroll and get technicians paid. Ultimately, your staff spends more time serving customers and less time on administrative tasks.
