Solution
Reducing unnecessary service visits
Not every service request needs a technician. The problem is that nobody can tell which ones until someone arrives.
No app. No account. No video call.
How can service companies reduce unnecessary technician visits?
Ask for guided video before scheduling. Cases that turn out to be a setting, a reset, a consumable, a user question or a fault outside your scope are identified and handled remotely. The remaining visits are the ones that genuinely require a technician — and they are better prepared.
The typical situation
Technicians travel to jobs that end in a reset, a replaced filter or a fault that was never in scope.
Who records the video
The customer or site contact, before a visit is scheduled.
What is captured
- The fault as experienced
- Settings and control positions
- Error codes and indicators
- Consumable and filter condition
- Equipment identification
- Installation context
How the service team uses it
- Resolve simple cases remotely
- Identify out-of-scope requests early
- Confirm whether a visit is warranted
- Redirect to the correct party where relevant
- Schedule only the visits that are needed
Operational outcomes
- Less travel
- Capacity released for real jobs
- Faster answers for customers
- Lower cost per resolved request
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 We do not publish savings percentages that have not been measured with you.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
- 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
