ECI Software Solutions, Inc. (“ECI”) announced the launch of AI Assist for Davisware GlobalEdge all-in-one field service management system. Embedded within GlobalEdge technician mobile application, AI Assist provides technicians with structured, contextual diagnostic guidance at the point of service.  

With a tap, technicians can generate AI-guided troubleshooting recommendations using existing work order details and equipment data including make and model serial number. By helping techs identify issues earlier and more accurately, callbacks and second trips may be reduced, optimizing resource allocation and service profitability.   

“Complex equipment, leaner teams, and higher customer expectations are making field service harder to manage with manual troubleshooting alone,” said Laryssa Alexander, industry president, Field Service, at ECI. “AI Assist embedded in GlobalEdge helps technicians move from uncertainty to action faster, reducing guesswork and supporting more consistent service decisions in the field. For field service organizations, that can mean higher productivity, fewer avoidable costs, and stronger customer satisfaction and retention.” 

AI Assist aims to help standardize troubleshooting across teams by giving technicians access to consistent diagnostic guidance within the GlobalEdge mobile app. The capability may help newer technicians ramp up faster, reduce reliance on tribal knowledge and improve continuity across service calls providing a complete AI chat history to technicians and managers.
