Without Zinier

Fragmented field operations. Customer experience at risk.

CFL's ambition to connect all of London demanded field operations built for scale, not patched together under pressure. Without integrated tooling, keeping pace meant accepting risk. Every job involves booked appointments, risk assessments, site visits, traffic management and permits. Any error meant repeat visits and eroded customer trust.

  • Dispatch managing work across multiple disconnected systems with no unified field view

  • No real-time visibility into engineer skills, no reliable way to ensure the right person was sent to the right job

  • Engineer workload and burnout risk rising under strain of the previous platform

  • Compliance reliant on individuals, not enforced by mobile workflows

  • Configuration changes slow, costly and dependent on the previous vendor for every update

  • With Zinier

    One platform, built for pace, compliance, and growth.

    Zinier FSM gave CFL a configurable, integrated platform — automating the complexity of each job while giving teams the visibility and control to scale with confidence. Skills are tracked in real time so coordinators know exactly who can do what and when. Now, the right engineer reaches every job ready to get to work.

  • First-time fix rates improved through smarter scheduling and real-time field visibility: fewer repeat visits and more capacity

  • Compliance enforced by guided workflows: safety steps, and evidence capture all mandatory before any job is signed off

  • Dispatch unified on a single platform. No more switching between systems to understand what's happening in the field

  • Job completion automatically triggers billing, for a seamless connection between engineering and finance

  • Team-driven configuration means changes are made efficiently, without vendor dependency or system downtime

  • "It's hard for an operation like ours to scale without either compromising on service, compromising on quality, or compromising on the customer experience. Zinier has allowed us to do exactly that."
