Qcom can provide you with a complete helpdesk and technical support service – or supplement your existing resources – without the financial, management, recruitment and training overheads required to build and operate your own facility.

Tier 1- Helpdesk

Friendly, polite, knowledgeable help desk staff members receive enquiries from customers dialling into a ‘virtual’ helpdesk via a dedicated phone line. These enquiries are then assigned to an engineer for specialist help and advice, within the timeframe of your choice.

Tier 2 – Technical Support

For more advanced customer support, a technical filter sorts incoming queries and assigns a technical specialist within 20 minutes. Our expert over-the-phone advice is usually sufficient, but in case of a more complex issue, engineers can be allocated to ensure a positive outcome.

• Fully customisable to align to your brand, values and requirements.
• Services in English and other languages, able to receive calls from across the European time-zones.
• Out-of-hours service and 7 day service available, plus flexible peak period support (allowing you to switch to the Qcom helpdesk for holiday periods, product launches, or as an overflow facility).
