Pre-dispatch triage with guided video

Triage decisions are usually made on the weakest information in the whole process: a short verbal description of a technical problem.

No app. No account. No video call.

How can service teams triage requests more accurately?

Send a guided video link when the request is received. The customer or site contact is prompted to record the specific things your service team needs to see. The request is then triaged on visual evidence — urgency, skill required, parts needed and whether a visit is necessary at all.

The typical situation

Every request looks similar in the queue, so urgency and complexity are only discovered when a technician arrives.

Who records the video

The customer, site operator or building contact who reported the issue.

What is captured

  • Video of the reported fault
  • Required photos and angles
  • Equipment identification
  • Error or warning messages
  • Structured question answers
  • Checklist responses

How the service team uses it

  • Rank urgency on evidence
  • Separate remote-resolvable cases
  • Match the request to the right skill set
  • Plan parts and access
  • Schedule with realistic job durations

Operational outcomes

  • More accurate scheduling
  • Fewer unnecessary visits
  • Better prepared technicians
  • Shorter time to resolution

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 We do not publish savings percentages that have not been measured with you.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