Customer Use Case

ASK Chemicals


Situation

ASK Chemicals, a leading global provider of foundry and industrial resins and coatings, faced challenges in delivering on-site technical services to foundries, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions and the need for timely support highlighted the necessity for a digital solution that could replicate in-person services remotely.

Solution

Partnering with Librestream, ASK Chemicals implemented a white-labeled version of the Onsight platform, branded as “ASKNow.” This solution enabled real-time video communication, documentation, and language translation capabilities, even in low-bandwidth environments, allowing technical experts to assist customers remotely.

Results

  • Reduced technical service scheduling times from weeks to approximately 15 minutes using ASKNow.
  • Achieved annual savings exceeding $30,000 USD in the U.S. alone.
  • Deployed ASKNow in over 10 countries across North America, South America, and Europe in 2022.
  • Enhanced customer support and expanded service reach without the need for physical presence.

“ASKNow, has taken a giant leap into our digital journey and feel empowered alongside Librestream – our digital partner.”
