ProQuest specialises in medical device service management where regulatory compliance and traceability are non-negotiable. Our medical device implementations migrate complex workflows into Salesforce while maintaining full audit trails, approval processes, and integration with existing systems to ensure operational efficiency without compromising compliance. Trusted by medical device companies including Zimmer Biomet.
ProQuest delivered exactly what Zimmer Biomet needed and has continued to build on it: a platform that connects service requests, device history, technician scheduling and compliance documentation in one auditable place.
Medical device implementations are designed with FDA and ISO compliance as the foundation every implementation is built around, not add-ons applied later.
The results speak for themselves: Zimmer Biomet achieved device service requests, scheduling and compliance documentation unified in Salesforce with full traceability across all device service activity.
The Challenges Facing Medical Devices Teams Right Now
Service scheduling complexity
FDA compliance requirements slow repair processes while hospitals demand immediate equipment restoration. Specialised training requirements limit technician availability.
Technician capacity and expertise
Specialist certification requirements limit technician pool availability. Documentation standards increase service call duration significantly.
Regulatory and compliance pressure
Device traceability requirements enable rapid response to safety alerts and recall situations. ISO standards compliance determines market access and operational certification status.
Where Field Service Delivers Value in Medical Devices
Service request intake and scheduling
Medical device field service is already handling this for ProQuest clients. Salesforce captures service requests, manages compliance documentation and automates workflow approvals without manual effort. Zimmer Biomet streamlined operations across their Australian business using solutions built by ProQuest.
Salesforce Field Service monitors service activities to ensure FDA and ISO compliance, automatically generates required documentation and flags any deviations, all within Salesforce. Everything remains auditable and aligned with regulatory requirements.
Technician support and knowledge access
Field technicians access device-specific service procedures, spare parts information and compliance requirements instantly using approved knowledge sources, reducing errors and keeping response times fast.
Service planning and resource optimisation
Before each service visit, Salesforce Field Service surfaces device history, previous service records, required spare parts and compliance notes automatically. Technicians arrive fully prepared rather than spending time gathering information across systems.
Zimmer Biomet: Medical Device Field Service Management
Zimmer Biomet manages medical device field service management across healthcare facilities in Australia where traceability, compliance documentation and rapid response are non-negotiable. Every service call needs a complete record and every technician needs the right information before they arrive on site.
ProQuest implemented Salesforce to connect service requests, device history, technician scheduling and compliance documentation in a single, auditable platform.
The results : ✓ Device service requests, scheduling and compliance documentation unified in Salesforce ✓ Full traceability across all device service activity ✓ Technicians arriving on site with complete device history and compliance notes ✓ Reduced documentation burden without reducing audit rigour
ProQuest has been a long-standing Salesforce implementation partner to Zimmer Biomet across multiple projects in Australia.
Medical device field service teams operate under some of the most demanding compliance requirements in any industry: FDA standards, ISO certifications, device traceability obligations and service documentation requirements where accuracy directly affects patient safety. Implementations with ProQuest are designed to meet those standards without compromise.
Every deployment is structured to support:
FDA and ISO compliance across device traceability, service documentation and regulatory reporting
Salesforce Field Service operates within Salesforce's existing security and permission framework. There is no separate system to govern or trust.
Full audit trails, so every service action and AI decision is traceable, explainable and regulator-ready
Device and service monitoring, using Salesforce Field Service to flag maintenance needs and compliance issues within existing Salesforce workflows
Service documentation and traceability, with AI-assisted record generation that keeps humans in control of final approvals
What Engagement Typically Looks Like
Organisations engage ProQuest to:
✔ Validate which Field Service use cases will deliver value fastest in their medical devices environment
✔ Understand how Field Service fits within their existing Salesforce architecture and data
✔ Design governance, escalation paths and controls from day one
✔ Roll out Salesforce Field Service in phases that build confidence and adoption
✔ Avoid rework by learning from real-world medical device field service implementations
This is not about experimentation for its own sake. It is about building capability that works inside a regulated, high-stakes environment and scales responsibly from there.
Ready to see what ProQuest can do with Field Service for your team?
ProQuest works with Zimmer Biomet because we understand medical device service complexity. Medical device field service requires complete traceability, patient safety documentation, and regulatory compliance at every service call. We focus on understanding your specific device complexity and compliance requirements.
Is medical device field service management suitable for regulated environments?
Yes. Salesforce Field Service operates within Salesforce's existing security, permission and audit frameworks, which makes it well suited to FDA-regulated environments, ISO-certified operations and medical device manufacturers. AI activity is traceable, explainable and governed. ProQuest designs every medical device field service implementation with compliance requirements built in from the start.
Do we need to have our Salesforce data in perfect shape before starting?
No. Most organisations do not start with perfect data, and that is expected. A key part of early implementation work is identifying which use cases can safely deliver value with your current data, and where quality improvements will unlock further gains over time. Implementations are designed to work with reality, not idealised assumptions.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Will Salesforce Field Service replace our field technicians or service staff?
Can Salesforce Field Service work across multiple Salesforce clouds, such as Field Service Lightning and Service Cloud?
What makes ProQuest different from other Salesforce Field Service partners?
Medical device service requires complete regulatory compliance and traceability. Zimmer Biomet's platform unified device service requests, technician scheduling, and compliance documentation in Salesforce with full audit trails and regulatory reporting built into every service interaction.
No. Salesforce Field Service handles the routine, time-consuming tasks that pull technicians away from complex service work. The goal is to give your team more time for the work that requires technical expertise, problem-solving and customer relationships, not to remove them from the equation. The medical device field service organisations achieving the best results are using Salesforce Field Service to make their technicians more effective, not fewer.
Yes. Salesforce Field Service is built into the Salesforce platform, which means it works across Field Service Lightning, Service Cloud, Sales Cloud and other products in your existing environment. ProQuest has experience deploying Salesforce Field Service across complex, multi-cloud Salesforce setups and can advise on the right architecture for your team.
