Financial Management for Field Service Businesses

For field service businesses, people across the business need to be in the know. Dispatch needs to connect with technicians, technicians need to understand equipment, and management needs to oversee both. But no matter how good the service, you can’t do much if you’re not bringing in money.

Financial Management is the backbone of any business management solution. This is no different for the field service business, who needs to connect billing with receivables, contracts with revenue recognition, and do so with a complete view over inventory, hours, budgets, and actuals. Much like the rest of information at your field service business, your accountants need to be in the know, and thanks to an integrated, focused Financial Management Solution, they can be.

As a leading provider of this solution, The Donas Group has the skills to customize, integrate, and deliver this field service management solution for companies like you.

M3 Technology has grown dramatically since implementing Acumatica. With the move from the old on-premise solution to Acumatica’s Cloud ERP, M3 experienced a growth in revenues by 60% in just the first two years, all while maintaining the same headcount in the finance department. We came out of the gate billing larger orders, but we covered the tasks with the same people. We weren’t extra stressed or working overtime to keep up, yet we were doing way more in sales and transactions through Acumatica.

– Kelly Burns, ERP Developer & former Chief Operating Officer (M3 Technology Group)
