ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd (NasdaqCM: CKSW), the leading provider of mobile workforce management and service optimisation solutions, today announced that Wessex Water, one of the UK’s largest water suppliers, has selected and started to implement ClickSoftware’s ServiceOptimization Suite. This includes ClickSchedule, ClickPlan, ClickForecast and ClickAnalyze to ensure its field technicians arrive on time, work productively and meet customer and regulator expectations.

Wessex Water provides water services to 1.2 million people and sewage services to 2.5 million people over a 10,000 square-kilometre region in the Southwest of England. The company had been using an in-house system to enable 30 schedulers to allocate work to more than 700 technicians in the field. The system required schedulers to manually match technicians to jobs, which was labour-intensive and often delayed response.

“Our mission is keep our customer satisfaction rate at 99.7% or better,” said Dave Copeland, head of IT at Wessex Water. “That’s not easy to do with manual processes. Following an extensive evaluation of products in the market, it became obvious that the proven experience of ClickSoftware in the utility and water industry, in conjunction with their comprehensive suite of solutions to manage the entire service chain, would drive enormous benefits both now and into the future. ClickSchedule, ClickForecast and ClickPlan will play integral roles in our IT infrastructure, which will also feature a new asset management system.”

 “Knowledge is everything when it comes to effectively managing your field operation, and ClickSoftware will give us the knowledge and decision-support tools to better serve our customers,” said Copeland. The company will have further insight into technician productivity and the effectiveness of its service operations using information gathered in ClickAnalyze business analysis software. ClickAnalyze will provide a holistic view of everything from on-time arrivals to repair times, while allowing managers to track service-level indicators like travel, workload, asset repair and maintenance. This information will prove invaluable when reporting back to the industry regulator OFWAT.
