PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 15, 2014) - ServiceMax, the leading field service management solution for a new era of business, today announced ServiceMax Linx for ServicePower as part of its Spring '14 product release. ServiceMax adds best-in-class workforce optimization capabilities to its end-to-end field service product through the integration with ServicePower -- the world's most powerful scheduling optimization engine. The partnership with ServicePower is the first integration for ServiceMax's new integration framework, ServiceMax Linx. Built on ServiceMax's revolutionary Infinity framework, Linx opens the company's software to a host of solutions that will make field service organizations of all sizes and in all verticals smarter, faster, and more profitable.

"Our integration with ServicePower delivers what no one else can -- a world-class optimization engine paired with the best end-to-end field service solution in the cloud," said Dave Yarnold, CEO of ServiceMax. "Every time a technician can't fix the problem the first time it costs the business an average of $1,100 and often harms the business' relationship with the customer. Our integration with ServicePower improves operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, freeing dispatchers to only focus on exceptions. A modern field service organization needs the best management of contracts, parts, and scheduling while providing solutions for social, portals, and analytics. Through Linx for ServicePower, we can deliver the best of all worlds to our customers."

"This relationship creates a Salesforce1 Platform-based, single vendor solution in the field service management industry," said ServicePower CEO Marne Martin. "Our patented optimization technology paired with ServiceMax will drive increased first time fix rates, provide the ability to schedule appointments, SLA jobs, and parts, while performing true intraday reoptimization, enabling field service organizations to increase service revenue and profitability. All of that leads to faster, smarter, and more efficient field service operations for our customers."

Linx for ServicePower is suited for large enterprises, as ServicePower is the proven leader in large-scale implementations, which benefit from the power and efficiencies of the combined, cloud-based platform. Some of the world's largest field service operations rely on ServicePower's unique continuous optimization technology to achieve operational metrics and improve customer satisfaction, every day. With more than 300,000 global platform users, ServicePower's proven algorithm delivers reliable scalability and performance. For operations in highly complex environments where simple rules-based engines are inadequate, ServiceScheduling's artificial intelligence-based algorithm, self-learning capabilities, and M2M connected services provide the best solution to manage the most complex scheduling needs.

ServiceMax Linx also integrates with QuickBooks, used in particular by the small to medium business sector, to create a seamless sync of work orders to invoices, resulting in faster billing and faster time to revenue.

Advanced Scheduling within ServiceMax is enhanced in ServiceMax's Spring '14 release with the addition of "drip-feed" scheduling, which focuses on getting new work orders to technicians on a just-in-time schedule.

In addition to scheduling optimization and billing advancements, ServiceMax's Spring '14 release also features updates to reporting with a restructured report hierarchy and more than 20 new standard reports. ServiceMax Mobile for iPad receives data handling and synchronization enhancements. ServiceMax Mobile for Laptops receives enhancements for attachments, multi-day work orders and a web services API for external program integration. The ServiceMax platform now supports scheduling of Service Flow Manager processes and a new migration tool to allow easier movement from pre-production to production environments.
