In field services, time is money. Whether it’s plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, pest control, or utility repair success depends on fast dispatching, efficient routing, and staying responsive to customers. But relying on outdated systems or basic GPS tracking can cost your business more than you think.
Backed by Mordor Intelligence, the field service management (FSM) market is growing rapidly due to:
With more competition and tighter schedules, the margin for error is shrinking fast. The following chart shows the field service management industry is already $5.6 billion in 2025, projected to reach nearly $9.7 billion by 2030 - a CAGR of 11.4% which will mean more demand, more technicians on the road, and higher customer expectations.
In the U.S. alone, FSM solutions grew to $1.3 billion in 2024, with forecasts to hit $4.6 billion by 2033, growing at 15.4% annually
As the field service industry expands, businesses that rely on outdated dispatching or basic GPS will struggle to keep up.
In this fast paced world of field services, imagine a plumbing company that promises same-day service but a technician takes a wrong turn, shows up 40 minutes late, and the customer leaves a 1-star review.
Don’t assume being a beloved brand gives you a free pass. According to PwC, nearly 6 out of 10 customers in the U.S. will stop doing business after multiple bad experiences, and shockingly, 17% will walk away after just one negative interaction.
Even more striking: 32% of all customers say they’d leave a brand they love after a single bad experience
This shows how critical it is to get service right every time , especially in fast-moving field services where communication and punctuality matter most.
