Field service operations are critical for businesses that provide on-site services, such as repairs, installations, or maintenance.

Managing these activities efficiently is essential for maintaining productivity and customer satisfaction. Odoo, a popular open-source ERP solution, offers a comprehensive Field Service module as part of its suite of services, designed to streamline these processes.
