Product Description

Help Lightning helps service organizations reduce costs and increase productivity through remote video collaboration. Our patented technology uses merged reality to create a virtual interactive presence. Merging two real-time video streams allows an expert to virtually reach out and touch what their service tech or customer is working on.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Help Lightning is easy and use and quick to deploy. It requires no app to be downloaded, works natively on your existing devices (desktop, smart phone and tablet) and a call can be initiated by scanning a QR code or clicking on an email or text link.

Our remote assistance software offers a unique AR-enabled merged reality feature that allows the expert giving help to place their hand or a tool into the field of view of an onsite expert - creating virtual side-by-side troubleshooting.

What do you like best about Help Lightning?

There are a handful of likes I could talk about with Help Lightning, but here are the main ones. First, seeing what the user on the other side sees is instrumental in providing top-notch support, achieving faster service times, and improving repair confidence. Second, the Help Lightning UI tools allow for drawing or pointing out items on the screen that are easily viewed by the user receiving support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Help Lightning?

There really isn't anything to dislike about Help Lightning. The only downside is the quality of the call is at the mercy of the end user's device. Having a good connection is often the only potential drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Help Lightning solving and how is that benefiting you?

Help Lightning provides visual access to what the user sees, allowing our technical teams to provide exceptional service, leading to faster repairs, instant screenshots for reporting, and video that can be utilized later for training purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
