Portable Toilet Supplier Seamlessly Services 300,000 Appointments Per Day with Salesforce Field Service
The leading supplier of porta potty rentals was scaling at a rapid pace due to merging and acquiring several other companies that came with different processes, systems, and siloed data. To make a real change for their organization, they needed a solution that would provide consistency, and that was possible with Salesforce Field Service.
Laying the Foundation for Rapid Field Service Growth
The field service industry has experienced robust growth in recent years — and with that growth comes an intensifying demand for improved customer experiences, smarter field service operations, and field service management software capable of scaling alongside the business.
The leading supplier of porta potty rentals was scaling at a rapid pace, merging and acquiring several other companies that each brought different processes, systems, and siloed data. Frustrations mounted across their workforce, and it became clear that their existing approach to field service management was no longer sufficient. They needed a solution that could transform both their employee and customer experience — from first contact to job completion — and that's when they turned to NeuraFlash and Salesforce Field Service.
A Strong Discovery: More Than Just New Field Service Management Software
After some of our initial discussions with the customer, it wasn’t a case of just adopting new technology to meet customer needs. It was about fundamentally changing how this organization used the Salesforce Field Service platform to work together across the business — connecting employees, customers, and field service technicians across their entire delivery process to ensure a true end-to-end customer experience, not just an incremental improvement to how they had always operated.
Two of the biggest challenges they faced with their old system were limited visibility and inefficient, manual processes.
Limited Visibility Across Field Service Operations
Without a unified field service management system, there was no reliable way to track the location or status of assets, workers, or customers. Inventory was tracked manually — often by memory — and siloed, branch-based processes made it impossible to see where any given asset was at any given time. The result: extra driving time, missed service windows, and customers whose needs weren't being met in a timely or consistent manner. This is exactly the kind of operational blind spot that a modern field service management platform is built to eliminate.
Manual Field Service Scheduling and Dispatch Inefficiencies
Their siloed operations teams were spending the majority of their time managing shift changes — fielding call after call to communicate last-minute updates, rerouting static routes, and scrambling to address missed appointments for setup, removal, and maintenance. This manual field service scheduling burden not only distracted field service agents from higher-value work, but it contributed directly to mistakes in the field and rising gas costs from inefficient routing. This is what field service scheduling software and intelligent dispatch software are designed to solve.
As the company continued to grow, so did these frustrations — until they made the decision to invest in Salesforce Field Service management software with NeuraFlash.
An important element of great service is consistency.
