SEATTLE, Sept. 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glympse, a leading provider of location-powered customer experience solutions and Silver level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced that its pre-integrated En Route solution is now available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, offering added value for Oracle Field Service Cloud customers. Glympse En Route enhances Oracle’s predictive approach to field service with practical insight that eliminates uncertainty, reduces field service friction, and respects customers’ time.

The Oracle Cloud Marketplace is a one-stop shop for Oracle customers seeking trusted business applications and service providers offering unique business solutions, including ones that extend Oracle Cloud Applications. Oracle Cloud is the industry’s broadest and most complete public cloud, delivering enterprise-grade services at every level of the cloud technology stack including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and data as a service (DaaS).

Oracle Field Service Cloud users can now personalize customer engagement by adding standard En Route capabilities powered by Glympse’s proprietary location platform, giving their customers:

• Proactive channel-of-choice notifications
• A central, interactive view of key appointment and service representative data
• Options to change appointment details or connect with a service representative
• Dynamic ETA updates culminating in a live map view of a field representative on the way

In addition to the Glympse Customer Journey featuring live technician location sharing, the complete En Route solution includes a mobile application for field employees, capabilities to collect and react to customer feedback, back office technician tracking, and customer engagement metrics dashboards.

“The time between when a customer books their field service or delivery and when someone arrives on site is a critical window for brands to build a relationship and demonstrate their commitment. Yet it’s been plagued with uncertainty and friction for customers and service delivery teams alike,” said David Troll, SVP, sales and customer operations, Glympse. “We’ve built a robust digital experience to address that gap, bringing clarity and flexibility to people trying to fit field service into their busy schedules. Combined with Oracle Field Service Cloud, the result is happier customers and more efficient field operations.”

Troll continued, “Glympse’s participation in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace further extends our commitment to the Oracle community and enables customers to easily reap the benefits of En Route. We look forward to leveraging the power of the Oracle Cloud to help us achieve our business goals.”

The Oracle Cloud Marketplace offers an intuitive user interface to browse and search for available applications and services, as well as user ratings and reviews to help customers determine the best business solutions for their organization. With its new automated application installation features, customers can easily deploy provider business applications from a centralized cloud interface.
