English term or phrase: field-service organisation
International enterprises and field-service organizations rely on XXX to increase the efficiency and productivity of their business operations and assets.


I am struggling with the translation of field-service organisation. I assume that these are organisation that offer services in the field. Is there an appropriate Dutch translation for this? I don't think "buitendienst" covers it, as that is often a department within an organisation, whereas in this sentence the entire organisation provides field services.

Buitendienst of veldwerk


Explanation:
Either one of these terms can be used but I would note that buitendienst is used primarily to describe sales and technical support whereas veldwerk ranges from marketing to NGO's.

Example sentence(s):
  • Rie Schouten B.V. is een Nederlandse veldwerk organisatie..
  • IVN Veldwerk Nederland, ook een veldwerk organisatie.
