Any additional support will be charged separately from original project, proposal or quote.
The frequency of support depends on the complexity of your systems and the technical expertise of the staff at your company. Impac’s support service may be required before, during and after implementation.

Business management software is sophisticated and complex to deploy. Impac Solutions knowledge and experience with the software comes from many implementations in different environments with specific and individual business needs. Our experience combined with intense training to gain product certifications has allowed us to develop a workflow that will deliver a successful implementation. We do not specialize in the products or services that you offer your customers, just as you are not experts in the products and services that we offer. This is why Impac Solutions always recommends that you allow us to do the entire implementation as well as continue to maintain and service your systems. In our experience, by purchasing our services, you can avoid lost time or lost opportunity that you or your company may experience if the software is not properly installed, and you have not received the proper training.

Additional support to resolve issues that you may come across is available by emailing our dedicated support team support@impacsolutions.com . Please email us with the details of your issue. Response times are approximately 4 – 8 business hours depending on demand. Phone support is also available by contacting our office and requesting the technician or consultant that services you.

Each Impac consultant uses a work order to record the time and description of any consulting service, phone or emails. During the time that we are engaged in the service call, notes are made of the details of the service. Upon completion of the service, a completion time is logged, and the work order is signed by an available Client contact. Each signed work order represents an agreement to bill for the said labour stated on the work order. Please take a moment to fully understand the service that was provided, before signing. Any discrepancies must be dealt with before signing the work order.

Impac Solutions quotes/proposals state the terms and conditions of the sale of software and services. All labour is tracked by our Work Order System. This system summarizes and keeps track of dates, times, a description of the service and who provided the service (all info. matches with the actual signed work order). For your reference, a printout of a work order summary report is always included with your service invoices. You may use this report to match with your copy of the signed work order.

Impac Solutions will report any defects discovered in the Products to the manufacture(s), but cannot provide any assurance regarding whether the manufacturer(s) will fix the defect, or what period this will occur in.

Impac Solutions will act in good faith and make every effort to respond to queries in a timely manner, depending on the nature of the issue and available resources and will make every reasonable effort to address the issue as required by the Client.

Under certain circumstances it may not be possible to completely resolve a specific issue totally. Wherever possible, Impac Solutions will suggest alternative approaches to working around problems that arise that cannot be fully resolved. Provided that the Impac Solutions consultant acted in a reasonable manner, time spent in these circumstances is chargeable by Impac Solutions.
