Enhancing Customer Service Outcomes with Augmented Reality: Real-World Applications of Blitzz

Introduction

In an era where speed, personalization, and convenience define great customer service, support teams are being asked to do more with less—faster. Customers expect real-time help, clear guidance, and minimal disruption. Enter augmented reality (AR): a tool once reserved for gaming and sci-fi, now a frontline force in service innovation.

Blitzz, a leading remote video support platform, is redefining how brands deliver service using browser-based, app-free AR tools. Across industries—from HVAC to high-tech automotive—Blitzz empowers agents and customers to solve problems visually, remotely, and in real time.

Here’s how forward-thinking brands are using Blitzz + AR to boost customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and streamline support operations.

The Promise of Augmented Reality in Service

Augmented Reality bridges the gap between digital knowledge and physical problem-solving. When embedded into a remote support session, it allows teams to:

• See what the customer sees via their phone camera
• Annotate directly on the live video feed to guide them
• Diagnose issues faster, with less back-and-forth
• Solve problems remotely—often avoiding on-site visits altogether

For service leaders, this means:

• ✔️ Fewer truck rolls
• ✔️ Lower resolution times
• ✔️ Better first-time fix rates
• ✔️ Higher customer satisfaction
• ✔️ Greener, more efficient operations

Real-World Results: How Top Companies Use Blitzz + AR

1. APR Supply Co. | Empowering HVAC Contractors in the Field

HVAC contractors often work in unpredictable conditions and must service dozens of equipment brands. APR Supply Co. uses Blitzz to connect its tech support team with field contractors via live video—no downloads, no delays.

Support agents can visually inspect the equipment, guide contractors through diagnostics, and confirm part numbers on the spot. This has drastically improved first-time fix rates and reduced costly misorders.

2. TFI Canada | Repair Accuracy at Scale

With repair operations spanning massive territories, TFI Canada needed a solution that could reduce travel and help technicians troubleshoot equipment more precisely.

Using Blitzz’s AR-powered visual sessions, TFI experts can remotely walk contractors through the exact repair steps. The result? Fewer delays, lower costs, and equipment that stays up and running with minimal downtime.

3. BMW | Elevating Engineering Support with AR

When high-performance engineering meets high expectations, there’s no room for missteps. BMW’s Engineering Group adopted Blitzz to support its teams remotely with precision diagnostics and assembly inspections.

Blitzz enabled BMW to:

• Share real-time video from the driver to the support agent without an app download
• Collaborate with distant experts without delay
• Resolve issues faster—without flying people across the globe

Key benefit: BMW was able to complete complex technical reviews remotely that would have otherwise required expensive and time-consuming on-site engineering visits.

4. Guardian Protection | Virtual Appointments That Impress

For security provider Guardian Protection, customer appointments must balance speed with trust. Using Blitzz, Guardian delivers virtual consultations, installations, and troubleshooting, allowing agents to walk customers through setups and issues face-to-face via live video.

Blitzz enables reps to:

• Perform pre-install assessments
• Troubleshoot home security tech remotely
• Avoid sending techs for minor issues

Customer reaction: Guardian reports higher NPS scores and faster ticket resolution with fewer field dispatches.

5. SaskTel | Cutting Truck Rolls in Telecom

Truck rolls in telecom are expensive—and often unnecessary. SaskTel, a Canadian telecom provider, uses Blitzz’s AR tools to help agents remotely diagnose equipment, check connections, and even guide customers through setups—all from a browser.

Bonus: Fewer in-person visits helped SaskTel maintain strong service delivery through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
