    EP65 - Death by App: Overcoming Tech Fatigue on the Jobsite w/ Aaron Salow, XOi

    Technological transformation within field service has exploded in recent years. What was a paper-based industry only a decade ago now finds itself at the forefront of innovation. As organizations eagerly trial new solutions and tech stacks grow more complex, many service leaders are seeing episodic challenges emerge among their most important assets – their field service teams. According to the 2023 Voice of the Field Service Engineer survey, 38% describe the volume of communication received on their mobile device as excessive, and 48% report having to spend too much time on their mobile device when out in the field. While technicians are open and willing to embrace technology, they are also running up against “app fatigue”. Streamlining your technology – and effectively involving the frontline in the process – to enable a single pane of glass on the jobsite has never been more critical.
