Top DTH Service Provider and CRG Solutions collaborate to enhance work order management; exemplifies the transformative potential of operational analytics in the service industry. This implementation highlights how targeted technological improvements can streamline operations, enhance customer service, and provide a competitive edge in a fast-paced market

A leading Direct-to-Home (DTH) television service provider in India to overhaul its work order management system identified solutions and implemented the same.  The project focused on enhancing the visibility of service requests and improving the responsiveness of field operations. 

The DTH Service provider aimed to: 

• Streamline Work Order Management: Develop a dynamic dashboard to monitor real-time status of work orders, both pending and completed, across various regions.
• Improve Service Delivery Efficiency: Utilize analytics to reduce the average pendency time of service requests.
• Optimize Field Operations: Equip regional service managers (RSMs) with tools to better manage field activities and workforce deployment.

Being a top DTH Service Provider, it was not exempted of challenges.  Some of the operational concerns were:  

• Inefficient Tracking of Work Orders: Existing systems lacked real-time tracking capabilities, leading to delays in addressing customer service requests. 
• Variable Service Quality: Disparities in service quality and response times across different regions due to lack of actionable data. 
• Underutilization of Data for Decision Making: Inadequate use of analytics in strategic decision-making for field operations. 

CRG Solutions implemented a comprehensive dashboard system that featured: 

• RSM and ASM Wise Work Order Monitoring: Real-time visualization of work order status, categorized by regions and specific managers, to track performance and pendency.
• Advanced Analytics for Pendency Reduction: Analytical tools to identify patterns in delays and streamline the resolution process.
• Enhanced Reporting Capabilities: Automated reporting features to provide senior management with insights into operational efficiencies and areas needing attention.

The solutions involved following implementation processes:  

• Integration with Existing Systems: Seamless integration with DTH’s existing CRM and service platforms to ensure uninterrupted data flow.
• Customizable Dashboards: Role-specific dashboards designed for different managerial levels to enhance the utility and relevance of displayed data.
• Training and Development: Comprehensive training sessions for DTH’s staff to maximize the use of new tools in everyday operations.

The newly implemented system brought about significant improvements: 

• Reduced Average Pendency: The average time to close work orders was reduced by over 30%, significantly enhancing customer satisfaction.
• Increased Operational Transparency: Real-time tracking enabled proactive management of field operations, reducing idle times and improving service response rates.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Enhanced data analytics empowered management to make informed decisions regarding resource allocation and workforce management.
