From sleepless nights to seamless service: how Platned helps service leaders stay ahead

Service operations falling behind? You’re not alone – but you don’t have to settle for the status quo.

Whether you’re overseeing mobile teams, managing facilities, or coordinating engineers across regions, running a service organisation today demands more than just keeping the lights on. You’re juggling tighter budgets, rising customer expectations, complex compliance requirements, and pressure to deliver with fewer resources. Without clear visibility and control, even small issues can escalate fast.

At Platned, we partner with service organisations to turn reactive operations into streamlined, intelligent service delivery. With IFS Cloud™ at the centre – and platforms like Mahara, ParsaAI, and Platned Gateway behind the scenes – we help you regain control, improve quality, and strengthen client relationships.

Build stronger foundations with effective project management

Every service operation is a project in motion. Whether it’s recurring maintenance, emergency call-outs, or high-stakes installations, your success depends on how well you plan, allocate resources, and adapt to change. Platned enables robust project management from end to end.

With IFS Cloud™, you can define the scope and deliverables clearly, allocate skilled and sufficient staff, and develop project plans that reflect real-world timelines, dependencies, and workloads. We help you build a strong framework that supports adaptability – so you’re ready to respond to changing client needs, shifting priorities, and unforeseen challenges.

Deploy the right people at the right time

Workforce scheduling is often a source of delays and inefficiency. Manual coordination, disconnected tools, and lack of visibility result in missed appointments, underutilised teams, and customer frustration. Platned resolves this with intelligent scheduling and skills-matching tools within IFS Cloud™.

By selecting necessary skills for each task and allocating resources efficiently, you improve first-time fix rates and reduce repeat visits. Our platform also enables real-time tracking of project progress, helping you identify deviations early and reassign work as needed – keeping operations on track and clients informed.

Keep your field teams equipped, informed, and aligned

Having the right person on-site means little if they lack the tools or data to complete the job. Platned enhances your field service capability by integrating IoT-powered asset tracking and mobile job management tools through IFS Cloud™.

Engineers are equipped with the resources they need, along with real-time access to job histories, asset status, compliance checklists, and communication tools. They can report issues, log inspections, and request support directly, supporting task completion, avoiding delays, and improving customer satisfaction.

Unite your team with better communication and control

Effective communication is at the heart of every successful service operation. With Platned, silos are eliminated. IFS Cloud™ creates a single source of truth for your teams – from field technicians to finance, from customer support to compliance.

This level of integration fosters open communication with clients and within teams. Service managers can prioritise special requests, resolve conflicts early, and ensure that all stakeholders remain aligned. With clearer oversight and real-time insights, teams collaborate more effectively, and clients stay informed and up to date.

Prioritise quality and strengthen client relationships

Quality service isn’t just about meeting SLAs – it’s about delivering consistent value and building trust over time. Platned helps you monitor and control every aspect of service delivery. With dashboards that track key performance indicators, you can measure outcomes, identify issues, and take corrective action before service levels drop.

This commitment to continuous improvement supports long-term client satisfaction. By keeping communication open, prioritising their requests, and proactively addressing issues, you build rapport and long-term loyalty. When clients feel heard, informed, and supported, they’re far more likely to stay.

Embrace change with confidence

System updates are necessary for growth, but they can feel risky. That’s why Platned developed Mahara, our automated testing platform designed for IFS Cloud™ environments.

Mahara enables you to test workflows, approval chains, and integrations in a safe, controlled environment before going live. You adapt quickly to change without putting operations at risk. The platform also supports compliance by providing a complete audit trail, essential for regulated service environments.

Accelerate finance processes and improve cash flow clarity

Slow invoicing affects cash flow and client satisfaction. Platned solves this with ParsaAI, a document automation tool that integrates seamlessly with IFS Cloud™.

ParsaAI automates invoice capture, validation, and approval routing – speeding up processing, reducing errors, and freeing up your finance team. With better control over financial workflows, you can forecast more accurately and meet financial objectives more easily.

Get long-term support that fits your needs

Platned doesn’t disappear after go-live. Our Gateway support model gives you on-demand access to expertise, without long contracts or inflexible terms. Whether you need training, workflow adjustments, or new reports, support is available when you need it – in a way that works for your business.

With the right infrastructure, supporting tools, and skilled project team behind you, every challenge becomes manageable.

Great service isn’t just about what happens on-site – it’s about the systems, people, and decisions behind the scenes.

Platned helps you bring it all together. With IFS Cloud™, Mahara, ParsaAI, and Gateway, you gain structure, visibility, and confidence across your service delivery. From scheduling and asset tracking to financial management and client communication, we help you run smarter, respond faster, and lead stronger.
