Why You Should Be Using A Field Service Management Platform!

As we adapt to a more digital world, common practices come and go, new technology quickly outdates the one before it and the needs of the businesses change. One thing that this rise in technology has brought us is a wide range of tools for businesses to utilise, with many of these holding the potential to become an invaluable asset.

We are lucky to have been part of this growth in technology, developing our own field service management platform that we now offer across the globe. Okappy was born in July 2015 and has since gone from strength to strength, seeing over 100,000 field service businesses on our Okappy Portal+.
