How customer video support reduces field service visits
Short answer
Customer video support lets after-sales and support teams diagnose remotely without sending a technician on site. Via the browser, the agent sees what the customer films and guides resolution in real time. Leagora offers a France-hosted solution for B2B journeys aligned with GDPR requirements.
Who is this for?
After-sales, technical support, and maintenance teams handling recurring incidents on customer-installed equipment. Manufacturers, distributors, integrators, and equipment lessors where systematic field visits inflate cost and delay resolution.
The business problem
Sending a technician for a simple issue — loose cable, software setting, easily replaceable part — represents travel cost and customer delay hard to justify. Generic tools (Teams, WhatsApp) create governance issues: data outside SI, no traceability, non-branded experience.
The Leagora approach
Leagora addresses this with Assistance Vidéo, dedicated customer video support in a browser journey. leagora.io covers business framing: why video, SI integration, sovereignty and compliance.
