Every customer detail in one place — for office and field
Addresses, contacts, work orders, quotes and invoices — all on one customer card your office and technicians share in real time.
With Relationship Management in OutSmart you manage all your customers and relationships in one place. You easily store address data, multiple addresses and contact persons so that everyone in the team always works with the right information. Whether it concerns an invoice address, a work address or a project location: everything is clearly linked to the same customer.
OutSmart Relationship Management is a contact and account management module built for field service companies. It connects every customer relationship — contacts, communication history, open jobs, contracts, and quotes — in a single profile. Your team always has the full picture of a customer before picking up the phone, arriving on-site, or sending an invoice.
Scattered contact management vs. OutSmart Relationship Management
| Topic | Without OutSmart | With OutSmart |
|---|---|---|
| Customer profile | Contacts in one tool, jobs in another, invoices in accounting | Complete profile — contacts, history, jobs, and contracts in one view |
| Communication log | Emails in inboxes, calls in memory — no central record | All interactions logged per customer — searchable and shared |
| Account ownership | Unclear — whoever last dealt with the client de facto owns it | Account manager assigned with activity log visible to the whole team |
| Pre-call preparation | Scramble through emails and systems before calling | Full customer context visible in seconds — prepared every time |
| Follow-up tasks | Sticky notes, calendar reminders, or forgotten | Follow-up tasks linked to the account — nothing falls through |
| Customer value | No overview — revenue and history not connected | Revenue, open work, and satisfaction visible per customer |
Manage and view customer history
Open any customer and instantly see every past work order, quote and invoice — so no one asks 'what did we do here last time?' again. This makes cooperation between field service and back office easier and ensures a more professional customer experience.
Relationship Management forms the basis for an efficient workflow. It prevents data from being scattered across different systems or notes and ensures that both office and field service always work with the same current information. This keeps the work flowing and improves collaboration.
Practical example
A service company links multiple branches of a customer (office, workshop and warehouse) to the same relationship card. This allows the planner to select the correct address directly for a new assignment and see which work has previously been carried out – without technicians or administration having to do double work.
