Q: How can I leverage AI-powered scheduling, IoT alerts, and mobile-first features in Dynamics 365 Field Service to improve first-time fix rates and reduce technician travel time?

Hello everyone,

I’m evaluating Dynamics 365 Field Service for our field operations and saw that tools like AI-powered scheduling, IoT-driven maintenance alerts, and mobile capabilities are highlighted as differentiators by consultants.

Could you help me understand:

  1. How does AI-powered scheduling (or “resource scheduling optimization”) work in real-world scenarios? What configurations are required (e.g., skills, travel time constraints, SLAs)?
  2. What are the best practices for integrating IoT devices so that maintenance alerts automatically generate work orders?

Any help with configuration examples, pitfalls to watch out for, or sample dashboards would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
