Understanding Support Services

Introduction

Support Services is a full-feature Support platform available directly through your Fleet Management Application. With Support Services, users can interact with Support, Training and Success professionals to get help, resolve issues,receive training on using the Fleet Management and Mobile Applications and participate in ongoing engagement to drive continued customer ROI — all without leaving the application.

Support requests can be made by submitting a ticket, or by connecting with an Agent through the Live Chat feature. When a ticket is submitted, users can follow the resolution workflow and provide input where needed. Geotab provides support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We provide support in English, Spanish and French (French support excludes Canadian holidays).

Training requests can also be made by submitting a ticket. Users can choose from a suite of self-paced onboarding workflows, or may be offered personalised one-to-one training with an Implementation Specialist. Once a ticket is submitted, users are connected with a training specialist who will customise and schedule training at the user's convenience. Customers will also receive proactive communications including emails and phone calls from Training and Success teams focused around using fleet management to make their business better.

By centralising access to technology and training providers, Support Services provides a single, compact view of tickets, allowing users to search, sort and filter tickets directly in the Fleet Management Application.
