The difference between mobile workforce management and field service management comes down to this question: Are you trying to optimize factors of your business related to HUMAN INPUTS or CAPITAL ASSETS?

If your goal is to optimize the scheduling process, the daily experience and execution of your mobile workforce, or the customer journey, then a mobile workforce management solution will solve for these challenges and more. If your core challenges are related to managing the availability, skills, schedules and execution of jobs by your resources in the field, a solution like Skedulo offers exceptional ROI.

In contrast, if your goal is to optimize operations related to the installation, maintenance and repair of physical products you own or have sold, then a field service management solution may be a better fit. If your requirements include connecting your scheduling system to an ERP, inventory management or similar system, a field service management solution should meet that need.
