* Zero complexity. Remote support tool that connects with the site in real time* SynQ
Remote (Sync Remote) is a video calling tool that allows you to communicate “this, this, that” on-site. Administrators and on-site personnel in remote locations can view real-time video on both sides and check and give instructions as if they were sitting next to each other. Due to the shortage of manpower, there is an urgent need to improve workplace efficiency. SynQ makes these possible: “Be able to check the situation at the site first and respond accordingly,” “Be able to communicate things that cannot be conveyed in words with a pointer,” and “Eliminate travel time.”
Remote (sync remote). It has simple and intuitive operability that is easy to use even for people with low IT literacy, and we have received many comments from customers who have actually used it, such as “the pointer is easy to understand” and “the information is conveyed in the same way as on-site inspections.”
