Every installed system serviced on time, by an engineer qualified to touch it.
F1 Agent gives medical equipment companies a complete service record for every device at every hospital, matches each job to an engineer with the exact skill it needs, and turns preventive maintenance contracts into scheduled work orders that do not depend on anyone's memory.
F1 Agent for medical equipment is a Salesforce native field service platform for manufacturers, distributors and service providers that install and maintain equipment at hospitals, diagnostic centres, clinics and laboratories.
It keeps every installed device as an asset with its full service history, uses Work Types to define the skills, duration and parts each job needs, and uses AI dispatch to match jobs with engineers who hold the right skill, territory and free time slot.
Maintenance Plans generate preventive Work Orders automatically, service inventory gets parts to engineers before the visit, and managers measure SLA compliance and engineer productivity. F1 Agent is built by Cloud Ingenious, a Salesforce Summit Partner.
The field reality of medical equipment service
When a ventilator or an MRI is down, the hospital does not have a spare.
Medical equipment service has three pressures that most field service does not. The equipment is critical to patient care, so downtime is noticed by doctors, not only by procurement. The work is specialized, so a general engineer cannot simply be sent. And preventive maintenance is contractual and periodic, so a missed PM visit is a broken commitment, even if nothing has failed yet.
Installed base in spreadsheets
Which serial number is in which department, under which contract, last serviced when and by whom. When a call comes in, the coordinator searches three files and an email thread to answer.
Skills that live in a manager's head
Only some engineers are trained on a given modality or model. The service manager knows who they are. When he is on leave, the wrong engineer is sent and the hospital waits another day.
PM schedules that drift
Quarterly and half yearly PM visits are tracked in a calendar. Breakdown calls push them back, then they are forgotten, and the gap surfaces at contract renewal or during the hospital's own audit.
What good looks like
The best medical service teams are boring. Their visits are planned.
A service organization that mostly reacts to breakdowns is always short of engineers and always explaining delays. One that runs most of its work through planned, preventive visits uses the same engineers more predictably, catches wear before failure, and has a clean history for every device when the hospital asks. The shift is not a culture change. It is a scheduling system that generates PM work automatically and protects it from being pushed aside.

In medical service, the device is the customer's real concern. F1 Agent organizes every case, work order, engineer, part and plan around the installed asset, so its full story is always one click away.
Case and customer
Requests from the hospital enter as Cases and are matched to the account by phone and email.
Asset history
Before a new job, the coordinator reviews previous faults, work done and parts replaced on that device.
Work Order and Work Type
Required skill, expected duration and parts are filled from the Work Type. Line items split complex jobs.

Account, location, contract, full service history, parts consumed, engineers who worked on it, next PM date.
AI dispatch
Matches skill, service territory, availability, free slots and priority. Recommend or auto assign.
Service inventory
Required parts checked against van stock, with Product Requests and Transfers from linked warehouses.
Maintenance Plans
Recurring PM generates future Work Orders and Service Appointments for the asset automatically.
Skill based AI dispatch
Only engineers trained on that system are even considered.
Each Work Type carries the skill it requires, for example "CT L3" or "Ventilator calibration". Each engineer carries the skills they hold. AI dispatch considers only matching engineers, then weighs service territory, availability, free time slots and priority, and either recommends one to the coordinator or auto assigns according to your rules.
For most medical service teams, AI recommends and the coordinator decides is the right starting point. Auto dispatch can follow for routine PM visits.
Outcome: the specialist knowledge of who can fix what is in the system, not on leave.
A Maintenance Plan defines recurring service for an asset or a whole account: every quarter for an imaging system, every six months for a ventilator fleet. F1 Agent generates the future Work Orders and Service Appointments from the plan, so they enter dispatch like any other job and show up on the engineer's app.
Because PM and breakdown jobs share the same dispatch and the same asset record, managers can see when breakdowns are crowding out planned work, and act before a PM date is missed.
Outcome: contracted PM visits happen on schedule, with a record for every device.
The visit record writes itself while the engineer works.
Before travelling, the engineer reviews the Work Order, tasks and expected parts, and F1 Agent checks them against van stock. Missing parts are requested from linked warehouses and transferred in advance. On site, check in starts the visit, Work Order updates move the hospital's Case, and check out confirms actual parts consumed, with reasons for anything planned but not used.
The result is a dated, attributed service history on each asset: what was done, by whom, with which parts. That is the record hospitals ask for, and the one your team needs at the next call.
Know your uptime commitments are being met before the hospital tells you.
SLA compliance by contract type, PM completion by territory, engineer workload and resolution time, all from the same records your engineers create in the field.

Use cases
Three situations every medical service manager has lived through.
Critical breakdown
A CT scanner goes down on a Monday morning
Situation
Radiology has a full list of scans. The hospital calls the service line, and the coordinator needs to find a CT trained engineer who can reach the city today with the right parts.
With F1 Agent
The Case is matched to the hospital and the specific CT asset. Its history shows a similar tube error four months ago. The Work Type brings in CT L3 skill and expected parts, AI recommends the nearest qualified engineer with a free slot, and a Product Transfer moves the part from the regional warehouse.
Outcome
A qualified engineer arrives the same day with the part, and the fix is recorded on the asset for the next time.
Preventive maintenance contracts
Hundreds of PM visits tracked on a calendar
Situation
A distributor services 1,200 devices under CMC and AMC contracts. PM dates live in a shared calendar, and breakdowns keep pushing them back.
With F1 Agent
Each contract becomes a Maintenance Plan on the covered assets. Future Work Orders and Service Appointments are generated automatically and dispatched to qualified engineers with the rest of the workload.
Outcome
PM completion becomes a number managers can see and protect, territory by territory.
Installation
A new ICU fit out with dozens of devices
Situation
A hospital orders ventilators, monitors and infusion pumps for a new ICU. Installation spans several days and engineers, and the hospital wants a clear handover.
With F1 Agent
The installation Work Order is split into Work Order Line Items per device group, each with its own timing. Engineers check in and update progress, and every device is created as an asset with its first service record and a Maintenance Plan.
Outcome
The installation is tracked stage by stage, and every device starts life with a history and a PM schedule.
Across medical and healthcare equipment
Different modalities, the same need for a trusted record.
Diagnostic imaging
CT, MRI, X-ray and ultrasound systems with high value parts and few qualified engineers per region. Skill based AI dispatch and parts readiness drive uptime.
Critical care and life support
Ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps and defibrillators in large fleets. Fleet level Maintenance Plans and priority aware dispatch keep PM and urgent calls in balance.
Laboratory and diagnostics
Analyzers serviced on regular cycles with consumable parts. Planned versus actual consumption keeps parts and invoicing accurate.
Surgical and OT equipment
OT tables, lights and electrosurgical units where scheduling around surgery lists matters. Service territories with their own operating hours help plan visits.
Dental and specialty clinics
Many small sites with one or two devices each. Asset history per clinic and route efficient engineer schedules reduce cost per visit.

F1 Agent is a Salesforce native field service platform for companies that install and service equipment at hospitals, diagnostic centres, clinics and labs. It covers case intake, customer and asset identification, asset service history, Work Orders with Work Types, skill based AI dispatch, service inventory, a technician app, products consumed, invoicing, SLA compliance and preventive Maintenance Plans.
How does F1 Agent make sure only qualified engineers are assigned?
Each Work Type defines the skills a job requires, and each engineer has the skills they hold. AI dispatch matches required skills against engineer skills and also considers service territory, availability, open time slots and priority. It can recommend an engineer for a coordinator to confirm or auto assign by your rules.
Can preventive maintenance be scheduled automatically?
Yes. Maintenance Plans define recurring service for an asset or account. F1 Agent generates future Work Orders and Service Appointments from the plan, so PM visits do not depend on manual scheduling.
Can we see the full service history of a device?
Yes. Each installed device is an asset linked to the customer account, with its service history: previous issues, work performed, engineers and parts consumed. Coordinators see it before creating a new job, and engineers see it in the app.
Does F1 Agent handle spare parts for service engineers?
Yes. Inventory can be held at warehouses, engineer van stock and customer locations. Required parts are compared with van stock before the visit, and Product Requests and Product Transfers move parts in advance. Every movement is recorded as a Product Transaction.
Can we measure SLA and uptime commitments?
F1 Agent measures service execution against defined SLAs, such as response or resolution within a set number of hours, and shows technician productivity: cases assigned, resolved and resolution timelines.
Can a multi day installation be tracked?
Yes. Work Order Line Items split a large job into parts with their own timing and requirements, so each stage of an installation is tracked separately.
Is F1 Agent a regulatory compliance system?
No. F1 Agent records service activity, assets, parts and engineers in Salesforce, which supports the records your quality and regulatory processes rely on. Those processes and their validation remain your organization’s responsibility.
Can sales and service teams share the same customer view?
Yes. Because F1 Agent runs in your Salesforce org, hospital accounts, installed assets, service history and sales activity live in one place. Your sales team can also use F1 Agent Field Sales for hospital visits.
How do we get started?
Start with one modality in one region: load the installed base, define skills and Work Types, and move PM calendars onto Maintenance Plans. Expand on your existing Salesforce org once that runs cleanly. Pricing is per user per month at [₹ per user / month].
