Information and support system for service teams | Plan and document your service activities | Subscription with automatic renewal | PCs/Macs & mobile devices | Digital download


€2498 per user per month plus VAT, billed annually

My service solution pobvol Service Solution, developed with Microsoft 365, will be installed and operated in your Microsoft 365 business environment. Your service team can plan and document all service activities on PCs/Macs and mobile devices. A service report is automatically generated for each service activity. Reporting supports your team in its monitoring. Your team stays productive and connected, whether you're in the office, working from home, or on the go. High cybersecurity, low costs.

Two Microsoft Power Apps are the most important part of the solution. This allows your team to plan and document all service activities.

Microsoft tools and services are used for automation. Service reports are created using Power Automate. Pivot evaluations are created with Excel and support your team in their monitoring. Data for the solution is taken from Excel lists and databases via Access.

Data and documents are stored in your SharePoint environment. I chose SharePoint to keep your license costs as low as possible. The limitations of this technology can make it possible to switch to another data storage device (e.g. Microsoft SQL). This is not part of the solution, but can be realized by means of an implementation order!

A little configuration is all it takes to adapt the solution to your needs. Your team can do this themselves or purchase it from me as a consulting service. Bug fixes and enhancements are provided by updates.

Sold and shipped by Volker Pobloth, pobvol Software Services. I am happy to answer any questions or take orders. My general terms and conditions and my license agreements apply exclusively. You can cancel orders within 14 days.
