Dista Service offers several out-of-the-box services that can be configured and customized. Let’s take a look at them.
1) Role-based access
Our system allows creating role-based access to different users in an organization. It lets you control who has access to specific internal resources, what they can do with those resources, and what areas they have access to. We can configure the system to give read-only/edit access to different players depending on their roles. Similarly, if there are multiple hierarchies in the organization, our system can restrict access to certain reports for managers, senior managers, and so on. This feature enables better compliance and reporting capabilities.
2) Geo-tagging and geo-fencing
The system leverages AI/ML-based engines to draw serviceable areas for a business. You can assign service technicians to these areas and set geofencing triggers to send an alert/notification/action when the technician visits those areas. This feature is typically used for tracking vehicle fleets, delivery agents, and so on.
3) Customized business rules
With the Dista platform, you can set, manage, and launch customized business rules depending on your business requirement. It ensures that tasks are executed consistently.
4) Intelligent job assignment
Dista Service’s allocation engine assigns jobs to service technicians by considering several factors like skillset, priority, availability, and proximity. This improves accuracy in managing appointments, thereby improving the turnaround time (TAT) and SLA compliance.
5) Mobile app offline mode
The service technicians’ mobile app will continue to work in the background even if they are in an area with low or no internet connection. Changes made get stored on the device and are synced to the server once the internet connection restores.
