You know how much the industry has changed. These days, customers expect same-day updates, crews want clarity, and back offices need to stop guessing. That’s where CKS Cloud Solutions and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service step in—like your buddy showing up to the site with a fresh coffee and a laser level.
This isn’t just some cookie-cutter CRM. We’re talking about a fully-loaded, jobsite-ready digital toolbox. With D365 Field Service, you can:
- Schedule smarter – Automatically assign the right tech with the right tools to the right job. No more “Who’s closest and knows boilers?” guesswork.
- Track everything – From work orders and inventory to customer histories, it’s all at your fingertips.
- Keep your crew connected – Whether they’re in a high-rise or on a highway, mobile access keeps your team updated and efficient.
- Delight your customers – Yup, we said it. Real-time alerts, on-time arrivals, and clear communication go a long way.
Let’s break it down real simple—say a client calls in because a rooftop unit’s gone haywire. Here’s how it flows:
- Create the Work Order – Your dispatcher logs it in D365, capturing all the details: customer, equipment, symptoms, urgency—boom, it’s in the system.
- Automatic Resource Matching – The CRM kicks into gear and finds available techs with the right skillset, certifications, and even gear in the truck.
- Schedule and Dispatch – One click and that job’s on your operator’s calendar. They get pinged on their mobile device with directions, job notes, and asset history.
- Track in Real-Time – You and your office team can see the job status, travel time, and even updates from the field—photos, notes, parts used—you name it.
- Close the Loop – Once the job’s done, your operator closes it out in the app, and the billing/invoicing process kicks off automatically.
No lost paperwork, no “Did anyone call Jimmy?” moments, no downtime guesswork. It’s just clean, streamlined service from call to completion.

Your customers don’t want to chase you for updates. They want visibility—and with D365 Field Service, they get it.
- Automated Notifications – Clients get email or text alerts when a job is scheduled, when the tech is on the way, and when the work’s complete.
- Customer Portals – They can log in to check on job statuses, upcoming appointments, or even request new service.
- Feedback and Sign-Off – Your tech wraps up, the client signs digitally, and can rate the service on the spot. Instant accountability, zero paper trail.
Let’s be honest—when your customer feels looped in and looked after, they come back. And they tell their friends.
You’ve built a solid operation. But even the best crew needs new boots now and then. A modern CRM like D365, set up and fine-tuned by the folks at CKS Cloud Solutions, doesn’t just make life easier—it helps you scale. More jobs. Fewer mix-ups. Happier clients. And maybe even a full weekend off for once.
We don’t just toss software at your business and hope it sticks. At CKS, we partner with you to figure out how Field Service can actually work for your workflows, not against them.
