We get full ROI after 21 minutes and 30 seconds
Using AR you can get full ROI after 21 minutes and 30 seconds – at least we had it at Struers using AR remote support solution.
This maybe sounds crazy – but I have calculated – instead of traveling to customer ca 700km one way, and staying at the hotel overall cost would be ca 230-250€ – using AR4Vision it took me 40 minutes on the phone (and you need an only phone) – and that cost us 10€ (but you need to buy a package of “minutes” for 120€) – so – calculating – after 21 minutes, 30 seconds we got back all investment and we started to earn on every next service case! Strongly suggested, especially in COVID blockage times.– Paweł Kotelon, Country Manager at Struers

With real-time remote support given to field personnel through AR, companies can reduce the risk of occupational hazards by giving them instructions to keep them safe at all times while working.
