Guided video for field service teams

Field-service operations make dispatch decisions from a short phone description. Guided video replaces that description with what the service team actually needs to see.

No app. No account. No video call.

How can field service teams see a problem before dispatch?

A guided video link is sent to the customer or site contact. They are prompted, step by step, to record the fault, the equipment label and any error message from their own phone. The service team reviews the case before deciding who to send, what to bring, or whether a visit is needed at all. No app, no account and no live video call are involved.

The typical situation

A job is booked on a vague description, the technician arrives without the right information or parts, and a second visit is scheduled.

Who records the video

The customer, the site contact or the operator who is standing in front of the problem — and later the technician who carries out the work.

What is captured

  • Video of the fault in operation
  • Required photos and angles
  • Equipment identification and serial plate
  • Warning lights and error messages
  • Answers to structured questions
  • Checklist responses

How the service team uses it

  • Triage incoming requests more accurately
  • Diagnose remotely where the fault allows
  • Assign the technician with the right skill set
  • Prepare the right parts before travelling
  • Brief the technician with visual context

Operational outcomes

  • Fewer unnecessary visits
  • Better first-time fix performance
  • Shorter diagnosis time
  • Consistent service records

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 We do not publish savings percentages that have not been measured with you.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
