CLEVELAND, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies that provide corrective and preventative maintenance services for industrial and office equipment have unique challenges with their field work: they must optimize the time and available assets for their technicians doing complex, multi-step jobs, while at the same time meeting their customers' stringent service level agreements (SLAs).
