Crowd Service
Innovative and Human-Powered Field Service
According to a study by Aberdeen Group, companies that utilized subcontractors or crowdsourced labor reported a 17% improvement in first-time fix rates and a 19% decrease in response times (source: Aberdeen Group, 2019). This demonstrates the operational benefits of leveraging subcontractors and crowdsourcing in the field service industry.
