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.

Follow-up tasks Sticky notes, calendar reminders, or forgotten Follow-up tasks linked to the account — nothing falls through

Manage and view customer history

Because all information is central, you have immediate insight into the customer history. You see which work orders, quotations or invoices have previously been created for a customer and prevent duplicate work. 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.

Benefits
  • Always the correct customer and address details at hand
  • Overview of previous work orders, quotations and invoices
  • Multiple locations and contact persons per customer possible
  • Easier collaboration between office and field service

Years of experience

We constantly had to create work orders manually with pen and paper. By providing a clear digital system with many options, along with an excellent helpdesk that assists with everything, even the smallest questions, Outsmart has helped us.

Thomas Loos, Display4all

We used to lose work orders now and then, which made tracking time a challenge. With the easy digital entry of work orders, it's much simpler for the technician to manage the administration. Having 100% accurate work orders has definitely cut our administrative time in half.
