With MCA Flame

Gain in responsiveness and performance

Management based on paper or through an unsuitable tool is proving to be a real brake on the development of companies offering installation, maintenance or repair services. Information is often misfiled or inconsistent and field teams have to keep going back and forth to the office to retrieve files or file reports.

This makes it difficult to provide a smooth and responsive service. Delays in interventions accumulate, there is less availability in the schedule, so that dissatisfied customers end up turning to other providers.

With MCA Flame, a field service management software, information is centralised in a collaborative working platform. Data is structured and accessible in real time from anywhere, allowing information to be relayed efficiently between field and office. The planned interventions are visible in an ergonomic interface for the follow-up of the files.

With direct access to job information and the ability to enter reports from the field, technicians no longer have to make extra trips to the office.

Data is classified, information is quickly transmitted and the company gains in reactivity.

Tour monitoring

Plan interventions based on the availability and location of your technicians and the routes to be taken.

In case of emergency, modify your teams’ routes and schedules in a few clicks.

Keep a record of your rounds and analyze the journeys you’ve made to optimize the routes of future operations.

Invoicing in a few clicks

Invoice interventions and spare parts with ease.

Set up subscription contracts and let the software automatically generate recurring invoices.

Check the status of invoices at a glance and schedule automatic reminders to reduce the risk of non-payment.

Greater mobility

Your technicians gain in mobility thanks to the availability of a mobile application linked to the software.

Your technicians consult their work sheet, schedule, etc. and edit their intervention report directly in the field.

The information entered is automatically retrieved by the software for smooth transmission of information between field and office.

MCA Flame

A centralised working platform

MCA Flame is an after-sales service management software package designed for technicians such as heating engineers, sanitary engineers and plumbers, who install, maintain or repair installations (heating, ventilation, sanitary, etc.).

Installation, maintenance and repair work is easily planned within the schedules, allocating the technician, the necessary equipment and/or spare parts.

The mobile application linked to the software supports your technicians’ mobility by enabling them to enter reports directly on site, while a customer area facilitates your exchanges with customers by giving them access to relevant information such as invoice history and satisfaction questionnaires.

In addition, the customer area simplifies maintenance requests through the provision of an online service form. The data on the form is retrieved by the software’s CRM and associated with the customer in question, so that the request can then be assigned to a technician.

Key features

A connected system for better traceability

Intervention management

You plan the installation (sanitary, heating, ventilation, etc.) or maintenance work of your technicians using schedule management. Within the software, you follow the progress of your current cases, keeping a history of the visits made.

Following a new customer request, the geolocation system allows you to view the status and location of your drivers on a map to assign the nearest technician to the new task. This allows you to easily allocate your staff to improve responsiveness and reduce delays.

Trip histories and activity reports provide details of past interventions, such as travel time, route taken or fuel consumption, helping you to optimise the routes of your technicians’ next interventions.

This data also helps you to accurately predict when a vehicle will arrive at its destination, allowing you to provide reliable information to your customers.

All the information relating to a customer (quotes, invoices, subscriptions, service history and reports, after-sales service requests, etc.) is grouped together in a file for efficient customer follow-up.

After-sales service request

The customer area allows your customers to consult their invoices or other useful documents related to their file, but also to make after-sales requests via a form.

You create service forms that customers can fill in via their private account for any service request.

When making a request, the customer provides the necessary information, including photos if required. The request is then recorded in the form of a ticket using the CRM and integrated into the customer file. You can then assess the demand and plan the necessary intervention.

Mobile application

Your technicians can remotely access information and documents (worksheet, schedule, etc.) from a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, PDA), enter their reports or order spare parts directly from the customer.

In the event of an incident, a technician can easily escalate the information to the office by entering the report into the application and attaching photos and other documents.

As the intervention management software is a collaborative platform, information is shared between your different teams so that everyone has access to the right information in real time.

Stock management

The software integrates the suppliers’ catalogues (IGH) by taking care of the management of the items’ references.

You will manage the supply according to the stock status of your finished products, spare parts and other items and the needs of the technicians for interventions, with the follow-up of supplier orders, deliveries and supplier invoice payments.

Supplier records are updated with each new transaction to provide you with a complete history.

Depending on the availability in stock of the items required for an intervention, your technicians can remotely access the catalogue of supplier items to place an order from a smartphone or tablet.

Spare parts can be pre-ordered for maintenance subscriptions.

Quotation and invoicing

You generate an invoice from services and parts entered by a technician or from an established estimate. Quotes and invoices are presented in a professional layout, including all regulatory information.

Maintenance contracts can be invoiced as annual subscriptions. Recurring invoices are managed automatically by the software.

The rates are calculated automatically according to the defined prices, incorporating VAT at the relevant rates.
You check the status of payments in the software and monitor unpaid invoices by means of automatic alerts and reminders by e-mail or SMS.

Employee management

You manage the hours of your employees according to fixed hours, time stamps or insertion of manual hours. The wage slips are based on the wage base, deductions and hours recorded.

You monitor absences and holidays, taking advantage of a simple system for validating holidays and assistance in drawing up a claim or illness declaration.

The service management software stores the various documents of your employees, such as contracts or certificates.

Overview of analytics management in MCA Flame

Report and analysis

Customer communication

You inform customers of the arrival of your technicians via e-mail or automated SMS, or communicate any useful information on current operations, your services, etc.

Accounting

The field service management software integrates the complete management of your accounting. Automated processes save you time: financial data is transferred to the various balance sheets, so there’s no need to re-enter data.
