挑战
When School Loop first launched its services, the company relied on a single customer support specialist who fielded requests by email. However, as School Loop's popularity surged, the company hired several more support staff and realized it would need a more formalized customer support solution. Realizing that School Loop lacked the IT resources to develop an in-house support system, Bob Charpentier, director of services, began to look for a web-based help desk software that would be simple to set up and highly scalable to the growing company's needs.
关于客户
Based in San Francisco, CA, and founded by a teacher in 2004, School Loop is an online service that helps K-12 districts keep students in school and on track. More than 2,000 schools in 120 districts across 25 states use services from School Loop. The company's clients include San Francisco Unified, Long Beach Unified, Los Angeles Unified, and Kansas City Schools. Throughout School Loop's rapid growth, the company has remained true to its vision that all schools should be able to realize the benefits of learning communities.
解决方案
School Loop decided to implement Zendesk as their customer support solution. Zendesk's features such as triggers, macros, and automations were used to streamline daily support tasks. The team created an action-based notification and standard response system that allows each agent to add internal comments that cannot be viewed by customers. Agents receive email notifications containing a full ticket history, allowing them to consider the input of their fellow agents as they work to provide speedy solutions. Additionally, custom triggers in Zendesk allow School Loop to add tags to each ticket specifying the requester's role, such as teacher, student, or parent, enabling the company to track traffic by role and better train and allocate its support resources. Automated notifications were also added to control the amount of time before tickets are closed or before users are sent a pending reminder. The community forums within Zendesk have made it easier for School Loop to communicate with a wide range of personnel, allowing users to make comments and ask questions about School Loop technology, sharing tips and tricks to help each other get more out of the software.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
