Personas

Field Service Technician

Diagnosing and resolving equipment faults on customer sites, using whatever documentation exists to do it right the first time.

Day in the life

Starts each day with a dispatch list and fifteen minutes per stop to prepare before driving out. Searches fault codes and part numbers from the truck or the customer's loading dock, on a phone screen, often with poor signal. Most searches resolve in under a minute against a spec sheet or a prior resolved ticket; the rare miss means calling a colleague or guessing, neither of which he likes doing in front of a customer.

Frustrations

Not knowing that a more specific bulletin exists somewhere in the acquired UK subsidiary's systems, which he cannot see and does not know to ask about. Documentation that assumes he is standing at a desk, not holding a phone at arm's length in bad light.

Success measure

First-visit fix rate, and not having to call someone else to answer a question the platform should have answered.
