Validate the accuracy of your asset inventory

You can't proactively manage assets if your data is out of date. Now you can enable employees to periodically validate the presence of assets using the ServiceChannel mobile app. They can easily edit details or add missing assets while onsite. With more accurate asset data, you can make smart repair vs. replace decisions and streamline your capital planning.

This is an add-on. Reach out to your account manager for more information.

Automatically validate material prices on invoices and proposals 

Building on the existing invoice and proposal validation for labor rates and time, you can now easily check the accuracy of parts and material prices for additional cost savings. When providers add specified parts or material markups to an invoice or proposal, the platform validates against your negotiated prices and alerts you of any discrepancies. You no longer need to manually review parts prices, saving you from overpaying and wasting time.

This is an add-on. Reach out to your account manager for more information.

Compare year-over-year program costs

See trends over time in invoice spend with a new standard Analytics dashboard called Year-Over-Year Cost Comparison. Changes in labor, material, and total costs can be viewed by trade, provider, and geographic region, so you can see what’s affecting your budget most.

Capture asset data with help from your providers 

Keep your asset data complete and accurate with help from your providers by enabling them to capture, bulk upload, and edit asset records, including asset tag data, on your behalf. You can have providers capture the data when they’re already onsite, rather than paying a third party or doing it yourself.

Seamlessly create RFPs from work orders

When creating an RFP from a work order, the work order description and attachments will now be copied over automatically. You can also more easily add attachments during RFP creation.

Require providers to attach digital invoices

You can now require providers to attach a digital copy of their invoice, so you have immediate access to the details you need and don’t need to ask for it later.

Disable priority values 

When you’ve stopped using a certain priority value, you can now mark it as “non-selectable” to prevent it from being assigned to new work orders. The disabled priority value is not deleted because it’s associated with existing work orders.

Identify work orders with linked work orders

You and your providers can now filter work orders for those with a linked work order, making them easier to identify.
