As part of BMW of North America’s all-new technical information system, Ubimax Frontline running on RealWear HMT-1 devices adds to the success of BMW’s after-sales process efficiency. Technicians in workshops can now connect with engineers and other experts at BMW directly via Ubimax’s hands-free remote support solution xAssist and jointly resolves issues in a fast and more efficient manner.

By solving issues faster, BMW dealers can get customers back into their cars sooner."
