Chubb, a leading integrated security company, has built a reputation for delivering innovative solutions across industries like finance, healthcare, retail and more. From the Chubb Alarm Monitoring System safeguarding homes to advanced video surveillance, access control and physical safes, the brand caters to businesses and residences nationwide. With 18 branches and over 300 skilled professionals, Chubb ensures 24/7 security, providing trusted protection and peace of mind.

As Chubb expanded, they struggled with issues like tracking their field teams, managing overtime and keeping up with service agreements. To address these challenges, they turned to FieldEx. Their primary objectives were to gain real-time visibility of job locations, simplify task assignments and enable technicians to easily access and update job information on the go. Additionally, management sought accurate tracking of work hours and team performance through reliable reporting.

Challenges

# 1 – Lack of Real-Time Task Visibility

Planners and supervisors had no real-time insight into technician progress, relying on end-of-day updates to assess task completion.

# 2 – Limited Asset Tracking

Chubb struggled to monitor the movement and utilization of assets, leading to inefficiencies and potential mismanagement.

# 3 – Inefficient Communication

Technicians found it difficult to answer calls or update task statuses while driving or working, causing delays and confusion.

# 4 – No Proof of Job Completion

Job completion details, including attachments and photos, were sent through external platforms like WhatsApp at the end of the day, creating traceability issues.

# 5 – Inaccurate Time and Overtime Tracking

Manual timecards and overtime reports were prone to errors and manipulation, impacting payroll accuracy.

# 6 – Time-Consuming Reporting Processes

Weekly report preparation required significant manual effort, involving multiple systems and tools.

# 7 – Challenges with Task Scheduling

Task scheduling lacked flexibility, making it difficult to accommodate urgent or smaller assignments on the same day.

# 8 – Frequent SLA Breaches

Ineffective tracking mechanisms led to delays in response and resolution times, resulting in penalties for SLA non-compliance.

# 9 – Dependency on Paper-Based Processes

Technicians carried physical paperwork that was often damaged or misplaced, making data retrieval and task management cumbersome.

# 10 – Lack of Unified Systems

Operations were fragmented across multiple platforms, increasing costs and reducing interdepartmental visibility.

# 11 – Incomplete Forms and SOP Adherence

Incomplete forms often required technicians to revisit job sites, wasting time and resources.

# 12 – No Access to Task Histories

Technicians couldn’t review historical task logs, limiting their ability to resolve recurring issues efficiently.
