Most companies invest in a sales system to close more deals. But what happens after the contract is signed?
For service-based businesses, winning the deal is just the beginning.
That’s where Dynamics 365 Field Service comes in—turning your closed opportunities into consistently delivered value.
From Opportunity to Ongoing Service: The Customer Journey
Let’s walk through a familiar scenario.
You’re using Dynamics 365 Sales to track leads, build pipelines, and close deals for your service offerings—whether that’s HVAC maintenance contracts, equipment installs, or managed IT services.
Your sales team lands a big account. Everything’s in Dynamics 365. But now, you have to:
- Schedule a technician
- Ensure inventory is in stock
- Track the service agreement
- Meet SLA timelines
- Keep the customer in the loop
If this happens outside your CRM—through spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or verbal handoffs—you’re risking service delays, missed appointments, and frustrated customers.
That’s where Dynamics 365 Field Service changes the game.
Why Field Service Completes the Dynamics 365 Sales Journey
Field Service automates and connects your post-sale operations, allowing you to:
- Automatically generate work orders from won opportunities
- Dispatch the right technician based on skill, location, and availability
- Give field workers mobile access to job details and inventory
- Provide real-time customer updates
- Track warranties, recurring services, and SLAs
- Proactively prevent issues with IoT + AI
It’s not just about delivering the service—it’s about delivering it right the first time, every time.
Real-World Example: Sales and Field Service in Sync
Imagine this:
A medical device company uses Dynamics 365 Sales to close contracts for on-site device installations and ongoing maintenance.
With Field Service:
- Once a deal is closed, a work order is automatically created.
- The system assigns a technician certified for that device model and checks inventory.
- The tech gets job details via mobile, completes the install, logs the visit, and captures photos—all in one system.
- The customer gets a satisfaction survey via portal and is auto-reminded about future service dates.
This creates a seamless end-to-end experience—with data flowing from quote to service and back to sales for renewal conversations.
