Get hands-on help, right inside your own software
An OutSmart consultant joins your screen and guides you step by step, while you stay fully in control.
With Remote Support you receive immediate help from an OutSmart consultant via a remote session. You keep control of your computer while the consultant watches live and guides you step by step through the software.
This way you get quick answers to your questions and direct explanations exactly where you get stuck.
OutSmart Remote Support allows your support team to access a technician's mobile device screen remotely — to guide them through a complex procedure, troubleshoot a software issue, or demonstrate a feature live. The session is initiated directly from within OutSmart and requires no additional software installation on the technician's device.
Phone-based support vs. OutSmart Remote Support
| Topic | Without OutSmart | With OutSmart |
|---|---|---|
| Guidance method | Verbal instructions by phone — slow and easy to misunderstand | Live screen share — support agent sees exactly what the technician sees |
| Issue resolution | Back-and-forth calls, often unresolved first time | Direct on-screen guidance — most issues resolved in one session |
| Onboarding new staff | Classroom training or shadowing — expensive and slow | Remote guided walkthrough on the actual device, at the job site |
| Software issues | Described verbally — hard to diagnose without seeing the screen | Support agent views and navigates the screen to find the cause |
| Training | Scheduled sessions, travel required for remote teams | On-demand remote training session — no travel, no scheduling delay |
| Session record | No record of what was discussed or shown | Session log kept — support history traceable per technician |

Frequently asked questions about OutSmart Remote Support
OutSmart Remote Support lets your helpdesk or support team view and control a technician's mobile screen in real time — to guide them through a process, resolve an issue, or demonstrate a feature. The session starts from within OutSmart and requires no separate app or IT setup on the technician's device.
Remote support is useful when a technician encounters an unfamiliar situation in the app, needs guidance completing a complex form or checklist, is troubleshooting a job-site issue, or is being onboarded to a new feature. It is faster and clearer than a phone call where both parties describe what they see.
No additional software is required. Remote support is built into the OutSmart platform. The technician accepts a support request within the app and the session begins — no separate download, account, or configuration needed.
The support agent can both view and control the screen, with the technician's consent. This allows the support agent to navigate directly to the relevant screen, demonstrate the correct steps, or correct a configuration — rather than walking the technician through each action verbally.
Yes. Remote support is an efficient onboarding tool — a trainer can guide a new technician through their first jobs in real time, from anywhere, without needing to be physically present. This is especially valuable for companies with geographically spread teams.
Yes. Sessions are encrypted and can only be initiated with the technician's explicit acceptance. The technician can end the session at any time. Support access is logged, so there is a record of every session for audit or quality purposes.
Remote support is available on selected OutSmart plans. Ask the OutSmart team during your demo to confirm availability for your plan and team size.
