2:00 PM Track B: Panel: Balancing Remote, Self Service, and Onsite: Cost, Safety, and Customer Expectations

As remote diagnostics, AI enhanced portals, and virtual assistance mature, more incidents can be resolved without a truck roll, yet most service workloads still ultimately require an onsite technician. This panel brings together leaders who are actively shifting volume toward remote and self service while protecting safety, compliance, and customer trust, and who are rethinking when an in person visit is still the right answer.

Panelists will share how they segment use cases by risk and complexity, design journeys that move customers between channels without friction, and measure the true cost and experience impact of each option
Discussion includes:
  • Creating practical frameworks for deciding what belongs in self-service, remote support, or onsite dispatch based on cost, risk, and customer impact
  • Utilizing AI-powered portals, diagnostics and knowledge tools without eroding satisfaction
  • Developing metrics and governance models that keep operations, safety and CX aligned
