Service Pro® for Sage 100 ERP Delivers Integrated Service Management, Scheduling, and Mobile Field Service Software for iPad®, iPhone®, Android®, or Windows®


MSI Data Joins Sage Development Partner Program to Help Field Service and Repair Enterprises Automate Mobile Technician Work Order Management, Scheduling and Service Management, in Unison with Sage 100 ERP, formerly Sage ERP MAS 90



Milwaukee, WI – MSI Data, a leading provider of field service management software, announces today that it has partnered with Sage Software as a Silver Development Partner, integrating Service Pro® with Sage 100 ERP, formerly Sage ERP MAS 90. Service Pro® offers field service and repair service businesses a single solution for providing better customer service and improving productivity through integrated tracking of all of their service activities, assets, parts, technicians, schedules and more.



Service Pro® improves management of the entire field service or repair center operation, from technician-based paperless work order management on mobile devices in the field, to more efficient scheduling, dispatching, quoting and billing processes in the home office. In combination with Sage 100 ERP, Service Pro eliminates manual, costly import/export routines and data reconciliations.



From Mobile App to Sage 100 ERP – End to End Field Service Management



A recent survey of small and midsized businesses in the U.S. about their use of mobile devices conducted by Sage Software entitled, "Sage SMB Survey on Mobile Devices," found that 85% of decision makers feel workers' use of mobile devices has had a positive effect on their company's productivity. Service Pro® for Sage 100 ERP boosts field service efficiency by extending service management to the technician’s iPad, iPhone, Android or Windows mobile device, eliminating the need for data entry in the back office.



"Service organizations know that complete, mobile, scheduling and service management software can deliver transformative productivity gains," said Harvey Shovers, President of MSI Data. "We are excited that Sage customers and partners will for the first time have a leading-edge integrated system for automated field service management in the office and in the field."



Best in Class Field Service and Repair Management Capability with Advanced Technology



Home office-based staff, from service managers and salespeople to dispatchers and repair technicians, will benefit from Service Pro’s deep functional capabilities for service organizations. Integrated modules include call taking and dispatching, quoting and work order management, assets and service contracts, inventory and warranties, RMAs and Engineering Change Notices, tasks and inspections, and more.



Service Pro® amplifies the utility of its service management functions with a menu of advanced web, mobile and database technologies:



Cross-Platform, Native Mobile - Service Pro® Mobile runs native on iPad, iPhone, Android or Windows smartphones, tablets or phablets

On-Premise or Cloud – Service Pro is available in either on-premise or cloud deployment models

Visual Scheduler – Web-based visual scheduling application connects seamlessly with technician mobile devices

Service Pro Events Manager – configurable alerts and workflow powered by KnowledgeSync from Vineyardsoft

Stakeholder Web Portals – configurable web portals for key field service stakeholders, including Customers, Technicians and Service Managers



Integrated Offering Meets Sage Customer and Partner Needs



Organizations with field service or repair center operations running Sage 100 ERP, formerly Sage ERP MAS 90 have struggled with limited options for Sage-integrated service management.



"We have had multiple products that need to be brought to the table for a full field service solution, often with different UIs and different pricing schema," said Paul Pathy of The Answer Company, a Sage Software Certified Partner and Reseller. "Sage customers in need of service management software want a single, integrated system, including mobile applications for service technicians."



For commercial, industrial, residential and institutional field service enterprises seeking workforce and fleet productivity gains, Service Pro® offers Sage 100 ERP user and partners an integrated, easy to use and easy to acquire solution, with flexible deployment options.



"Service Pro from MSI Data is unique in that is has a very strong set of product features for field service management, including mobile, combined with affordable, subscription-based pricing," said Steve Engmann, President of Sage Partner Competitive Strategies.
