Dynamics 365 Connected Field Service
Move from a costly break-fix model to proactive, predictive Maintenance
With connected field service solutions, you can remotely monitor the smart product you’ve sold to your customer. That way, you can get the insights you need to do predictive maintenance—and minimize your customer’s downtime.
For both predicted and unexpected maintenance issues, you can speed up repair time by getting alerts and dispatching technicians using skills-based assignments—and by empowering service technicians with complete customer insight, real-time guidance, and cross-team collaboration.

Wearable mobile apps for field service
We integrate and support the Dynamics Connected Field Service stack, powered by Azure, in your company Cloud environment or as a separate secure Cloud managed by our Team. Custom apps and integration with Android handsets and headsets are developed and supported by our experienced team of specialists.
Mobile Applications on Tablet and Handheld
We supply, support and deliver cross platform mobile apps as well as the hardware and accessories.
Mobile phones and tablets are essential ‘companion devices’ to augmented reality headsets, providing rapid commincation and navigation of data in the field.
Realwear HMT Augmented Reality Headsets
We supply and support the Realwear HMT1 and HMT1-1Z1 Augmented Reality Headsets along with Helmets, clips and other essentials for successful remote working in hazardous environments.
We can assist in company training and deployment and also offer our Cloud Concierge and Field Kits to get you working with your customers in the field from day-one.
Microsoft HoloLens2 Augmented Reality Headset
The HoloLens2 provides an unlimited holographic workspace to collaborate on calls, documents and remotely mark-up the real world.
We are authorised to supply and support the HoloLens2 and Accessories worldwide. We back this up with essential Field Kits and Remote Computing systems to ensure your applications can be deployed wherever you need them.
Dynamics 365 Guides
The HoloLens2 brings spatially-aware Holographic Guides to your Field Operations, Factory Floor and those of your Customers. Interactive sets of rich media instruction cards can step through complex procedures.
Video, documents and links to enterprise systems allow for on-site instruction and data capture during the process. Detailed data analyses offer insight over competence and performance improvement over time.
Dynamics 365 Visualisation
Your Sales and Installation teams can use the power of rich 3D models displayed using Augmented Reality in your customer’s environment.
They’re deployable as an add-on to your exisiting Cloud MS environment or we can host it for you as part of our Cloud Concierge service
Dynamics 365 Product Visualise
Help your sellers meet their customers’ needs faster with mixed reality. Using Dynamics 365 Product Visualise, now in preview for iOS, sales representatives can place a 3D digital twin of a product in their customer’s environment, let them explore it as if it’s physically there, and make detailed notes about their requirements.
Dynamics 365 Layout
Bring physical designs from concept to completion with confidence. Import 3D models to experience room layouts as holograms in the physical world or in virtual reality. Share your vision with stakeholders and easily edit layouts in real-world scale, so you can make better decisions before you build.
This is being transferred to Dynamics 365 Guides for 2021 so it’s not available to new users right now. Still, if you’d like to see it in action, contact us for a preview Demo of how it works..
Field Kits & Cloud Concierge
New technologies take time to Assess, Procure, Pilot and Deploy. We take a lot of the pain out of the process by providing pre-configured and optimised Field Kits for Augmented Reality.
