IBS Customer Support

We have support packages for your service and budget need.

You can choose (and customize) a basic, extended or premium agreement to support your critical distribution software.  There are several components of these agreements, including:

IBS Global Service Desk

It’s a global, 24/7 service. You access our service desk whenever and wherever you need it.

IBS Support Portal

Our portal is an incident handling and update center as well as a knowledge base.  You can access reports, updates, manuals, FAQs, news and guidelines to solve every query.

Authorized Support Control

Only authorized people report and manage incidents.  Knowledge and understanding mean fast, accurate and cost-effective solutions.

Remote Access

Your entire system with business data is accessible remotely from IBS meaning that we can identify – and rectify – problems even before you are aware that they exist.

Consultancy Incident Services

Every service bundle entitles you to a set amount of consultancy time.

Service Review Meetings

After a set period we’ll sit with you to discuss outstanding issues and, if necessary, re-evaluate the chosen support agreement.

Additional Services

We can also extend our support for any of your unique requirements:

  • Unsupported version cover to extend lifetime of older IBS software.
  • Extra language support with 12 different languages available.
  • Additional customization support can be organized.
  • PTF Software installations at a fixed price basis

Our Service Packages

Our three bundles reflect your service requirements:

  • Basic — Support services on demand and set number of support incidents.
    Extended — Faster responses and additional consultancy time.
    Premium — Top response and service support for distribution-reliant firms.
