Agricultural equipment

Guided video for agricultural equipment service

During harvest or sowing, a machine standing still costs more than the repair. Seeing the fault first shortens every step that follows.

No app. No customer account. No live video call.

How can agricultural equipment dealers support faults remotely?

The farmer or operator records the machine, the terminal error, the affected assembly and the identification plate through a guided link. The dealer's technical team assesses the case, advises on an immediate workaround where possible, and dispatches with the right parts for often distant farms.

Added value

What Service Video Experts does for agricultural equipment service teams.

Service Video Experts lets farm operators record machine faults, terminal messages and implement condition on their own phone, so dealer service teams can advise during the season without driving across the region first.

01

Seasonal downtime addressed fast

Advice can be given the same hour, which matters during harvest and planting windows.

02

Long travel distances avoided

Rural call-outs are committed only where the case shows they are needed.

03

Parts sent with confidence

The component and machine variant are confirmed visually before parts are dispatched.

The typical situation

A machine stops in a field during a critical window, and the dealer has only a phone description to work from.

Who records the video

The farmer, the machine operator, or the attending field technician.

What is captured

  • Machine and the fault in operation
  • Terminal or display error
  • Identification and model plate
  • Affected assembly close-up
  • Fluid, belt and wear condition
  • Field access for the service vehicle

How the service team uses it

  • Identify the exact model and specification
  • Advise a temporary safe workaround
  • Prioritise by seasonal urgency
  • Prepare parts for a long journey
  • Support warranty documentation

Operational outcomes

  • Less downtime in critical seasons
  • Fewer long unnecessary journeys
  • Correct parts on arrival
  • Documented warranty evidence

Outcomes depend on your own service operation. We do not publish savings percentages that have not been measured with you.

Two directions of video

Before dispatch, and from the field.

The same structured approach is used in both directions, with different capture steps.

01 Customer or site → Service team

  1. Service request received
  2. Guided video link sent
  3. Customer or site contact records
  4. Service team reviews
  5. Resolve remotely or dispatch correctly

02 Field technician → Head office

  1. Technician opens the job
  2. Guided capture on site
  3. Checklist and readings
  4. Before and after evidence
  5. Completion record reviewed centrally

Common questions

What service teams usually ask first.

Does the customer or site contact need to install anything?
No. They open a link on their own phone and are guided through the capture steps in the browser. There is no app to download, no account to create and no live video call to join.
What happens if the recording misses something?
The service team can request a specific follow-up — a particular angle, the serial plate or an additional answer — through the same case, without starting again.
How long does it take to get started?
Implementation starts with one workflow. We configure the capture steps, questions and checklist for that workflow, connect it to how your team already works, and extend from there once it is running.
Is this software or a service?
It is software, licensed by subscription, with implementation included. Your team uses the platform; the people who record — customers, site contacts, technicians — need nothing installed.
