Spanish to English Bus/Financial Marketing / Market Research
I need some creative solutions here. Maybe something with "peace of mind" in the second part of the phrase. The company makes elevators, stairlifts, etc.

remaining in the background is the best way to help you/give you peace of mind

"Invisible" might connote not being present at all for the customer, so I would avoid it.

"is the best way possible"

agree Sebastian Witte : Remaining in the background is the best way to be of service to you? But then, I think plain "to help you" works OK, too. Although you might not see us we cater to your every need.

Another "more creative" possibility, simply because I think you need something more than just a direct translation, with its implication that simply being unseen is a good thing in itself. I'm afraid I can't go along with that logic, unless there is something we're not being told!

ser invisibles es la mejor manera de ayudarte => customer safety is paramount

ser invisibles es la mejor manera de ayudarte => customer safety is our only concern

ser invisibles es la mejor manera de ayudarte => customer safety comes before vaunting our merits

But if you insist on the merits of "invisibility", then

=> Where safety is concerned, our invisibility says it all

OR

...=> Where safety is concerned, our invisibility is our greatest asset

Well, in the end, that was five! The third suggestion is merely an expansion of either of the first two.

You can depend on (relax with) our discreet, reassuring presence

Perhaps make a new sentence. I actually have reservations about the Spanish - it's not BECAUSE they are invisible they help people! Putting the emphasis on discretion is a new slant but you are asking for creative input!

... (being) out of the/your way is the right way to serve you

This is my suggestion. I'd leave the "being" out and go with "out of the way". Good luck!

without being seen is the best way to help

The quote is from the words provided by the person who posed the question:
"Trabajamos día a día para mejorar la calidad de vida sin descanso de forma invisible, porque creemos que ser invisibles es la mejor manera de ayudar."
"We work day by day to improve the quality of life without rest and without being seen, because we believe that the best way to help is without being seen."
