anchorUse Cases
anchorThe general flow of Instant Connect can be used for any business to consumer (B2C) scenarios, including areas such as health care, financial services, retail, real estate, government and much more. See below for just a few examples.
Health Care
Healthcare staff and patients connect using simple, easy-to-use video telehealth consultations, scheduled directly from their Electronic Medical Records (EMR) portal. These browser-based consultations are highly secure, and no private health information is collected at any point. There is nothing for patients to install nor are there any login details to remember: the patient simply clicks the provided link.
Retail
For customer support and assistance scenarios, Instant Connect can be integrated into retail websites to provide live agent customer support. Customers can connect with support agents without downloading any software to get assistance with product enquiries, order tracking and issue resolution. Instant Connect can also be beneficial for remote stock and inventory management, allowing store managers can connect with central warehouse managers in real-time.
Banking
Instant Connect can be integrated into online banking platforms to offer secure video conferencing services for account management. Customers can directly and personally connect with bank representatives for account inquiries, loan applications, and other financial services without visiting a physical branch. Banks can also leverage Instant Connect to help guide customers through account opening procedures, providing a personalized touch and ensuring compliance and security.
