Service Applications
Technical service applications are the digital recording of malfunction, maintenance, repair, installation or technical support requests submitted by customers (or in-house units) for the devices, hardware or software products they have purchased.
What are Workcube Service Applications?
Service Applications is the Workcube CRM sub-module that records all kinds of maintenance, repair, installation, malfunction or technical support requests from customers of businesses in a central structure. In the Workcube ecosystem, this business object plays a critical role in measuring customer satisfaction and improving after-sales service quality.
The Service Applications module is not just an independent request recording screen; Due to Workcube's integrated structure, it works fully integrated with CRM (Customer Relations), SCM (Supply Chain Management - Warehouse and Spare Parts), Contract Management (Subscription), Project Management (PMS) and Finance-Accounting modules. An incoming application is subject to automatic processing according to the SLA parameters in the customer's active contract, spare parts requirements are queried directly from the stock module, and paid services are directly invoiced when the operation is completed.
The Importance of Service Applications for a Business
- Contract and SLA (Service Level) Compliance Power: The system provides intervention and service according to the working days and hours in the customer's subscription or service contract. It reduces criminal risks to zero by automatically calculating solution times (SLA).
- Warranty and Cost Control: It prevents unfair spare parts and labor consumption by checking whether the defective product is under warranty (with internal and external warranty parameters, physical damage checks).
- Resource Planning and Efficiency: Thanks to service work groups, incoming requests are quickly assigned to the most appropriate technical team or business partner.
- Traceability and History: It provides on a single screen which malfunctions a product has had in the past (based on Serial Number), which parts have been changed and which technicians have intervened.
- Financial Accuracy: With the paid service option, labor and spare parts costs for out-of-warranty situations are immediately billed to the customer. triggers.

What Should Be Considered When Managing Service Application Procedures?
A. SLA and Working Hours Calculation Dynamics
When creating a service application, the most critical operational mechanism in the background is subscriber-dependent SLA calculations. Working days (weekdays, weekdays + Saturdays or all day) and working hours defined in the customer's contract must be entered into the system correctly. Otherwise, resolution times may be calculated incorrectly by taking into account public holidays or non-working hours and the business may face contractual penalties.
B. Serial Number Tracking and Warranty Management
Especially in the technology, white goods and machinery sectors, warranty tracking is carried out directly through the serial number. It is critical that the serial number entered at the time of application matches the product records in the system to prevent unfair warranty claims.
C. Recording Physical Damage and Accessory Detections
During device acceptance, the physical condition must be determined (broken, scratched, liquid contact) and the accessories received with the device (charger, case, cable, etc.) must be entered into the system completely. Incomplete entry of this information into the system may invite legal disputes with the customer after the repair. Physical Damage/Accessory can be entered from the parameters or manually.
D. Paid/Free Service Decision and Financial Integration
For damages caused by user error or products with expired warranty, the Paid Service option must be selected. This selection allows automatic information to be sent to the billing department in the background and may trigger the obligation to issue an invoice before the relevant service form is closed.
