“Help Lightning had an extraordinary year, with our virtual expertise software playing a vital role in bringing technical expertise to settings where it’s most urgently needed,” said Gary York, CEO, Help Lightning. “While the pandemic has caused an extraordinary spike in global demand, our customers are seeing so much efficiency gain, cost reduction, and fix rate improvement, they are reporting that there is no going back to the old way of doing business.”
Help Lightning had a compelling value proposition prior to the pandemic for service organizations including reducing the time to problem resolutions, eliminating truck rolls, and reducing first time fix rate. When the COVID-19 pandemic caused global shutdowns and travel restrictions, Help Lightning’s virtual expertise software transitioned from reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction to being mission critical to support service operations for global companies.
When the pandemic hit, Help Lightning became a key tool for companies to be able to continue to serve their customers. For companies with critical installations in countries throughout the world, travel restrictions prevented experts from getting there. Companies evolved their service model using Help Lightning to guide local technicians through proper installations and maintenance.
Today hundreds of field service organizations and call centers across a variety of industries rely on Help Lightning’s virtual expertise software to remotely deliver expertise by connecting people with the knowledge to the people trying to solve the problem. Whether facing workforce attrition, quality and responsiveness issues, or the inability to measure field service performance, Help Lightning enables organizations to do more with less and accelerate the transformation of their field service organizations from cost centers to profit centers.
