What You’ll Get
Enhancements & Updates
Whether we’re enhancing our software with a never-before-seen feature or performing routine maintenance, you’ll be the first to know. With a support plan, you’ll receive an email notice to download our latest release.
Telephone Support
Hey, we get it – sometimes you just need to talk to someone! We aren’t your typical call center – you’ll never hear an automated message or routing phone tree. You’ll speak with our experienced, trained professionals each time you call!
Email Support
Designed to answer non-critical questions, our email support is an easy way to get a question to our POSIM team. With email, our team can do a bit of added research and reply with written documentation and helpful hints!
Remote Support
Download TeamViewer, our remote support software. This allows our POSIM support team to login remotely to your computer–allowing us to view what you’re describing in a live format – we can even take control and provide real time solutions to the issue you’re experiencing.
After-hour Support
Retail hours and office hours differ significantly, so we provide after-hours support to cover your store at all times. We’re available 24/7, including evenings, weekends and holidays–available at a discounted price for support plan holders.
Point of Sale Webinars
Support plan holders may attend any of our webinars for free and receive access to our previously recorded webinars at no additional cost.
