What We Do
ClairVista’s provides Live Expert®, a software suite that combines video conferencing, content sharing, and CRM applications to allow businesses to provide their customers with live, on demand consultation at any location using an efficient, centralized staffing model. Live Expert system uses the customer’s input to establish a videoconference connection with the most qualified agent for live consultation and content sharing.
What Problem We Solve
Businesses selling information-intensive products and services cannot afford to staff the depth and breadth of expertise that customers want at all locations. This problem is most acute in retail, but we are finding opportunities in other industries, also.
Key Clients
Client funded pilot programs for an electronics retailer in US and a leading UK retailer.
Currently under evaluation by 2 retailers, 2 CPG companies, 2 hospitality companies, 1 wireless carrier, and 1 consumer finance company. Partnership with Accenture.
Revenue to Date
$300k in 2007.
Next Milestone to Achieve
Commence at least one chain-wide rollout and two more pilot programs in 2008. Revenue goal of $1 mil in 2008 and $5 mil in 2009.
