In today’s increasingly mobile world, customers are demanding faster and more reliable service and support- anytime, from anywhere. With DynamicPoint’s customer service portal, your customers can create service or customer support cases using a mobile application with direct integration to your ERP or CRM application. You can see existing cases, make edits to the status or severity of a ticket, or create new ones directly from a phone or tablet, while giving your customers the self-service capability to request support when they need it most. This feature has been added to DynamicPoint’s existing web portals using the functionality of Microsoft PowerApps and is a perfect complement for the mobile workforce.
Service Cases in ERP
For some clients, service cases are managed directly within their ERP application. This approach allows for integration with resource allocation, utilization management, inventory, and of course, cost accounting. Such applications as Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central Service Management, Dynamics GP Field Service, Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Case Management, Key2Act Signature and others offer many features for the management and operation of your service organization. DynamicPoint’s portal solution allows your customers to log on and interact directly with this information in a secure fashion.
