- Easy access: Technicians don’t need to download an app – they simply click a link from their phones and are immediately connected with a supervisor or client.
- Improved visibility and communication: Technicians can visually assess issues they no longer need to see in person, leading to shorter call times.
- Increased capacity: Experienced technicians can field more calls per day by remotely leveraging their expertise with junior technicians.
- Increased efficiency: More calls resolved virtually means a reduced need for trucks to be dispatched. A smaller truck fleet translates into lower spending on gas, maintenance, and other expenses, which can reduce operating and capital expenditures.
“With the dynamics of the workforce in flux and an ongoing global pandemic, the need for video-based remote support is rapidly accelerating,” said Rama Sreenivasan, CEO of Blitzz. “With Blitzz video technology, Zinier’s customers can safely field more calls in less time.”
