Executive/C-Suite
- Customer retention
- New revenue opportunities/growth
- Competitive advantage
By improving the overall customer experience, Help Lightning is proven to increase customer retention rates. Help Lightning enables companies to deliver faster, better service and gain a competitive advantage. It removes the barrier of product experts needing to be physically onsite with customers and allows technicians and experts to be better prepared to effectively resolve issues the first time. The ability to do so much work that was once considered ‘in person only,’ also allows companies to extend service capabilities and offer new types of service packages as an added revenue stream.
Field Service & Operations
Help Lightning supports rapid response to customer needs, and also enables increased first time fix rates alongside decreased recalls and need for rework—all of these lead to greater customer satisfaction. Operational costs also go down as a result of being able to provide high-touch work remotely. Plus, cutting down on technician travel translates to a reduction in technician downtime.
Research & Development/Manufacturing
- Shorter product launch cycles
- Efficient interdepartmental communication
- Increased productivity
The ability for research and development teams to effectively collaborate on complex projects when project stakeholders are in different locations promotes shorter launch cycles. Merged video streams and AR-enabled tools enable team members to more easily work together, removing barriers resulting from different locations, time zones and scheduling. Everything from conception and planning, through to development and post-production audit can be engaged by team members for faster launch schedules.
