However, retailers might be unsure of whether Level 10’s technicians can provide service for all of their point of sale technology or what needs to happen on their end before their systems can be serviced. Here are some answers to common questions that often come up regarding maintenance services:
Technicians have a very extensive list of services besides just cabling or electrical work. Technicians are utilized for the installation, testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of hardware, software, telephone systems, networks, security/CCTVs, digital signage, and speaker systems.
Technicians are typically expected to have the ability to provide services including, but not limited to, the following:
Each of these items has information that, when provided, can help to ensure a successful field service event. Success is defined by a “first attempt” completion of the field service request.
The preferred method of service is to complete the requisite activities at the customer’s location. If additional parts or equipment are required that cannot be immediately obtained, a follow-up visit can be coordinated to occur when replacement/additional items are delivered to the customer’s facility.
While hardware usually requires on-site service, software service and maintenance can be provided remotely.
Only when there are specific certification requirements established by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) will there be restrictions on whether a technician will be able to provide service for a piece of equipment. In most cases, a technician will be able to remediate IT issues that do not require specific OEM parts or certifications. Service providers can be certified by an OEM to service their equipment with the required parts, so it is to the retailer’s advantage to perform research to find the best price and service level for their individual needs.
Level 10’s service plans give retailers the assurance that fast, reliable service will always be available for their POS systems, with technicians trained in the intricacies of their hardware and software and able to provide the support they need.
