Field service
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 customer account. No live 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.
Added value
What Service Video Experts does for field service teams.
Service Video Experts gives field-service organisations a structured view of a job before anyone is dispatched, and a documented record of the work afterwards. Requests arrive with video, photos, equipment details and checklist answers already attached, so planners decide who to send, what to bring and whether a visit is needed at all.
01
Decide dispatch on evidence
Planners see the fault, the equipment and the site conditions before a job is assigned.
02
Right technician, right parts
Skill level and parts are chosen from what is visible in the case, not from a phone description.
03
One record per job
Capture before dispatch and capture on site stay together in one structured service case.
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

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.
