Reporting Questions, Issues and Product Requests to Serviceware Customer Support
Reports to Serviceware Support can be made via email, phone call, or through the Customer Service Portal. Please include all necessary and available information required for a successful and prompt analysis or error resolution (e.g., time of occurrence, affected users, any additional observed effects).
After reporting to Serviceware Support, the request will be processed. Upon opening, the requester will receive an acknowledgment and, after classification, a separate confirmation email including a unique reference number. This ensures that the process can be tracked at any time. In the case of telephone recording, the email acknowledgment is omitted and the requester receives an email directly with a unique reference number.
Further communication within the process can be done via email, phone call, or through the Customer Service Portal. Please have the unique reference number ready for process assignment or keep it in the subject line of your further email communication.
Error analysis usually takes place independently of the requester; however, successful resolution of the issue must always be confirmed by the requester.
