Mobile Workforce Management: Streamlining Field Service Operations

As maintenance organizations move beyond paper work orders and phone-based dispatch, mobile workforce management (MWM) apps have become indispensable for coordinating technicians in the field. By equipping technicians with smartphones or tablets, MWM solutions deliver real-time work orders, parts availability, and customer history—dramatically boosting productivity and service quality.

Market Overview The global Field Service Management (FSM) market was valued at $5.52 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $9.60 billion by 2030 (CAGR 11.7 percent). In the U.S. alone, the FSM software segment reached $2.8 billion in 2025, up 10.4 percent year-over-year.
