Construction equipment
Guided video for construction equipment service
Machines sit on active sites with tight schedules. The faster the service team can see the fault, the faster the machine is back in use.
No app. No customer account. No live video call.

How can construction equipment dealers assess machine faults before dispatch?
The site operator records the machine, the dashboard warning, the hydraulic or engine behaviour and the identification plate through a guided link. The dealer's service team reviews the case, identifies the model and likely fault, and sends the right engineer with the right parts to a site that is often difficult to reach.
Added value
What Service Video Experts does for construction equipment service teams.
Service Video Experts lets operators on site record machine faults, error displays and damage through a guided link, so dealer and rental service teams judge whether it is a field repair, a workshop job or an operator issue.
01
Field or workshop decided early
The service desk sees the damage and the machine state before committing a mobile engineer.
02
Hire fleet condition documented
Off-hire and on-hire condition is captured consistently with dated evidence.
03
Fewer wasted mobilisations
Machines on remote sites are assessed before a service truck is sent.
The typical situation
A machine is down on a live site, the model details are unclear, and the service van arrives without the component needed.
Who records the video
The machine operator, the site manager, or the attending service engineer.
What is captured
- Machine in operation and the fault behaviour
- Dashboard and warning indicators
- Identification and serial plate
- Hydraulics, attachments and leaks
- Fluid levels and visible damage
- Site access for the service vehicle

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
- Service request received
- Guided video link sent
- Customer or site contact records
- Service team reviews
- Resolve remotely or dispatch correctly
02 Field technician → Head office
- Technician opens the job
- Guided capture on site
- Checklist and readings
- Before and after evidence
- 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.
