Fremont, CA: The pandemic completely altered the business world as we knew it, forcing organizations across all industries to quickly adapt to an entirely new way of operating. Companies were not prepared for the world to shut down and, as a result, had to digitally transform seemingly overnight. Now, nearly a year and a half later, organizations have evolved in this new normal, adopting fully digital operations and figuring out how to execute at the same standard in a remote world.
One such industry that experienced a drastic change in 2020 is field services. By relying on the right technology, field service companies are figuring out how to plan and control what they can while pivoting quickly to adapt to the things they can't. Among the most valuable tools needed for field service companies to succeed in this landscape is augmented reality (AR).

Overcoming the Shortage of Technician Talent
Remote visual assistance software enables companies to offer field service support to optimize the time and effectiveness of their technicians. Like many industries, the field service is currently battling a significant talent shortage. In fact, according to 2020 research from the Service Council, nearly 57% of field service organizations are struggling to find enough talented technicians.
Senior technicians near retirement and looking to reduce their travel or fieldwork don't have to leave the industry altogether. Instead, they can rely on remote visual assistance technology to deliver their expertise from a preferred location. A company's field service organizations can extend the life of their valuable industry experts with remote visual assistance software by allowing them to work every day from a home or office rather than requiring them to travel on-site.
Remote visual assistance software allows field service technicians who aren't planning on retiring to reimagine their roles. As organizations continue to adopt new technology, the amount of on-site support required will most likely decrease. As a result, technicians will be able to spend more time with customers, learning about their needs, gaining their loyalty, and increasing their satisfaction. Field service technicians can transform their roles by using remote visual assistance software at work, adding more value as well as improving customer satisfaction.
