Geotab has released its first 2025 State of Field Service Report, which the company states reported that field service companies are both starting to use AI and improving their operations, uptime, and first-time fix rates with the technology.
AI does not have to be complicated to make a difference,” said Bob Bradley, vice president, Data Science and AI Engineering, Geotab. “Simple applications, like automatically dispatching the nearest technician, flagging issues before equipment fails, or keeping customers informed in near real time, delivers immediate value. Start with these manageable steps.”
According to the report, 93% of respondents said they had “partially” implemented AI in their operations, and 88% reported that AI and other new solutions are improving asset uptime and reducing service costs. More specifically, 75% reported that AI and technology were enhancing first-time fix rates.
“Field service leaders are facing growing demands every day, from keeping technicians productive and reducing downtime to meeting rising customer expectations,” said Maureen Azzato, portfolio director of Field Service, Geotab. “My suggestion to service leaders is to focus AI on the areas that creates immediate impact, like dispatch efficiency, predictive maintenance or ensuring the right parts are on hand. Those quick wins not only ease daily pressures but also build momentum for broader transformation.”
