Easy Maintenance with DIRECT VIEW
Virtual onsite support – With Easy Maintenance DIRECT VIEW, IGZ Customer Service provides you with real-time virtual onsite support around the clock.
Using camera-supported end devices (e.g. smart glasses, tablets, smartphones), live streams and voice are transmitted directly online between the on-site service employee and the central IGZ Customer Service. Thanks to its simple usability and handling, this mobile system offers an extensive and flexible range of applications, such as for incidents, maintenance, repairs or SAP dialogue processing for displaying workplace situations.
The use of DIRECT VIEW thus guarantees simple support and rapid resolution of service cases.
How it works
IGZ easy maintenance DIRECT VIEW comes into play where telephone support reaches its limits due to its purely voice-based transmission of information, such as during maintenance and repairs.
With the help of this system, the view of the on-site employee carrying out the repair is transmitted directly to an IGZ Customer Service employee via a camera integrated into the device. This happens in real time as a live stream,
which means the support visual as well as auditory, is carried out as if an ICS employee were directly on site.
This has the advantage that the ICS employee can see the same image as the customer’s employee. In addition, the ICS employee can display specific remedy notes in the form of screenshots or document extracts for effective solution finding. This facilitates troubleshooting and thus contributes to faster resolution.
