Field Service Pain Points

The 19 Most Expensive Problems in Field Service Operations — And the Data Already in Your FSM to Fix Them.

19 specific pain points. For each one: how the problem compounds, why existing solutions fail, and how a forward-deployed Spaid engineer uses software to measure and fix it — starting with your actual data.

Field service operations problems aren’t isolated — they compound. Missed calls reduce bookings. Dispatch mismatches increase callbacks. Callbacks reduce technician capacity for billable work. HVAC operational efficiency depends on fixing these in the right order, with the right data. Spaid is a field service consulting engagement built on your existing FSM data — ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, Jobber — that finds and quantifies every operational leak before changing a single process. ServiceTitan optimization doesn’t require a new platform or a re-implementation project. It requires an engineer who reads the data that’s already there. Each of the 19 problems below has a measurable dollar amount, an identifiable root cause in your existing data, and a specific intervention that produces a measured outcome. Field service consulting that leads with numbers, not frameworks.
