Optimizing the Labor Force on the Equipment with Service Advisor Remote

January 26, 2016

Clayton Camp, president of Kern Machinery of Bakersfield, Calif., shares how John Deere's Service Advisor Remote has been an effective tool for Kern Machinery as it tends to the needs of customers in its AOR.

Large farms in the area use labor contractors to supply their labor needs. That means the farm may not have the same driver on the tractor over time.

Service Advisor Remote allows techs to remote in and inspect issues as they come up. Service clinics are another critical component to optimizing up-time for farmers.

Role: “The most important thing is to represent the customers, employees and the owners, and doing what’s best for all on a daily basis. If you can explain something simply in a way that makes sense for the best interests of all three, you have a chance of success.
