Should I have Impac Solutions Mantain and Service my new Systems?
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.
How Can We Get Additional Technical Support?
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.
How Do I Understand My Service Work Order?
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.
How Do I Understand My Billing and Invoicing Terms?
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.
