Scale Without Compromise: Intelligent Controls Extended by Governed AI

Turn depot operations into a tightly controlled, auditable workflow — where every return is tracked and every task is repeatable.

• Automated Return Order Creation on Go automatically flags and generates return orders for repairable parts during debrief — removing manual steps and ensuring high-value or regulated components are tracked and routed correctly from the moment a return is identified
• Repeat Task Capability lets technicians instantly recreate a failed inspection or test — copying details and dependencies without rebuilding manually — so re-test cycles are faster, and every repeated task is fully auditable through debrief

Together, these capabilities help depot teams close the loop on returns and reduce rework cycle time — scaling repair operations with the consistency and compliance controls that protect SLAs, quality, and cost.

Get continuous schedule optimization as part of Service Board — and give dispatchers the intelligent controls to step in only when it matters.

• Current Day Optimization (CDO) Criteria automatically adapts schedules throughout the day — handling early completions, cancellations, and resource changes as frequently as every 15 minutes for urgent cases, with user-defined criteria controlling which jobs and resources are optimized
• Task Dependencies for Work Plans bring sequencing rules and buffer times onto the Gantt chart — giving planners granular control over multi-step jobs and surfacing conflicts before they reach the field
• AI Admin Console for Scheduling provides a dedicated console where operations teams can configure and customize AI scheduling logic in natural language — tailoring automation to their business rules without developer involvement
• Service Board UI Refresh modernizes the dispatcher experience with an updated interface and a toggle for gradual adoption — ensuring teams move to a supported, extensible foundation at their own pace
• Data Validation & Analysis for Optimax identifies data quality issues — missing addresses, invalid durations, resource shortages — before scheduling runs, so optimization produces results dispatchers can trust from the start

Together, these capabilities shift dispatchers from reactive schedule management to confident oversight — where automation handles the volume and human expertise is reserved for the exceptions that truly need it.

Eliminate the variability that inflates service costs — with task dependencies that enforce sequencing and intelligent controls that keep every step consistent, auditable, and on plan.

• Work Plan & Task Dependencies define sequencing rules — start-to-start, finish-to-start, and time constraints — that are enforced at execution, preventing out-of-order work and surfacing blockers inline so technicians always know what must be completed first
• Simplified Task Execution UI flattens the task experience into an accordion-style layout — putting instructions, attachments, and dependency information inline and reducing the clicks that slow technicians down between steps
• Task Scheduling Visibility surfaces scheduled tasks alongside appointments on the technician's ServiceMax Go calendar — creating a unified day view that eliminates gaps between what's dispatched and what's executed
• Configurable Issue Reporting tailors which attributes technicians capture in the field — ensuring the right diagnostic data flows back to upstream systems like Windchill without adding unnecessary steps
• Watermarking & Geotagging Photos in Go embeds geotags, timestamps, and custom attributes in every on-site photo — delivering tamper-evident, programmatic proof of work that supports audits, certifications, and accurate technician payment
• Conditional PDF Visibility in DataGuide controls which elements appear in generated PDFs based on job context — eliminating redundant templates and keeping technician-facing documents clean and relevant

Together, these capabilities make consistency the default — not something that depends on individual technician discipline. When every task is sequenced, action is documented and deviation is visible — ensuring service costs stay aligned to the plan.

ServiceMax 26R2 expands technical attribute and product structure capabilities, so organizations capture and maintain the configuration-level detail that drives better service decisions.

• Product Structure Filtering (Options-Based Service BOM) shows only eligible parts based on the installed product's specific configuration — such as engine type, motor, or pump — and flows that context directly into parts lookup so technicians see only what fits the asset they're servicing
• Technical Attributes – Expanded Mapping allows admins to map attribute templates to custom objects and product fields — giving organizations the flexibility to track software versions, configuration states, and service-relevant properties without forcing templates to an overly granular level
• Alternate/Replacement Parts Lookup surfaces approved alternatives and refurbished options when the primary part is unavailable — giving technicians flexibility within authorized boundaries to keep work moving without repeat visits
• Product Structure-Based SFM Lookup extends product-aware filtering across ServiceMax service flows — enabling a single part to be recognized across multiple products and reducing the manual cross-referencing that slows execution
• Technical Attribute Lookup in FCO lets field change order search expressions filter assets by lookup-based attributes like software version — ensuring only the right installed base assets are included in change order campaigns and compliance actions

Together, these capabilities keep installed product records accurate and actionable — so every technician arrives knowing the asset's current configuration, every part decision is grounded in what's actually installed, and first-time fix rates reflect the intelligence behind them.

Inaccurate timesheets don't just create billing disputes — they undermine the consistency organizations need to manage service delivery costs. ServiceMax 26R2 embeds intelligent controls into the timesheet engine so labor data is always complete, always current, and always respects the people who entered it.

• Timesheet Dynamic Reprocessing automatically recalculates timesheet totals when underlying source records change — so updates to work detail lines, events, or tasks are reflected without manual intervention or workarounds
• Manual Time Entry Inclusion brings manually created time entries into header calculations for the first time — ensuring every hour logged is counted
• Override Flag for Manual Edits protects user corrections from being overwritten by automated reprocessing — so technicians and managers can confidently adjust entries knowing the system will respect their changes
• Flexible Calculation Based on Duration Fields lets organizations calculate totals from duration fields rather than start and end times — streamlining entry for teams that prefer logging hours worked

Together, these capabilities turn the timesheet engine into an intelligent control point — not a source of rework. When every hour is captured accurately, every change is reflected automatically, and every manual edit is preserved, organizations get the consistent, auditable labor data that reliable service costing depends on.
