Viewing and Downloading Excessive Calls

When locations enter multiple repair requests for the same trade within a 30-day time period, Service Automation flags the associated work orders as Excessive Calls. Knowing this information can help your facilities team research the root cause: Location Users may require additional training, the issue list may need an update, an asset may need to be replaced, or any other matter.

When gone unnoticed or unaddressed, excessive calls typically result in accrued trip charges and other fees charged by the provider, which has a direct impact on your repair and maintenance spend.

You can view a Locations/Trade matrix of excessive calls within Service Automation, as well as receive a daily summary e-mail listing this matrix.
