Here at Tower Systems our POS software help desk people have retail experience, they can provide useful and appreciated context when helping retailers use our software. We think our help desk colleagues can help you get more from using our Tower Systems POS software.

Being locally based, our help desk team members understand local retail settings and needs, this plays into the context piece we are talking about here. They don’t use scripts. A call to the help desk is a conversation. being local means we can be more aware of local situations impacting software use, such as local payments problems or other tech factors that can impact using any software.

Help desks located off shore don’t have some of the local insights.

Too often, we see help desk staff in other businesses use rigid scripts that can cause a call take way too long to resolve. You only have to call an internet service provider or a bank to experience this.

So, when it comes to the Tower Systems POS software help desks – no scripts used or allowed. let’s talk!

By having a conversation we can often understand the query and provide the appropriate advice. The customer feels better and we feel better.

A good POS software help desk person will also look beyond the question, in case there is something they can see that you are not seeing, something from which your business can benefit if you act early. We have one customer we advised of a possible theft situation based on data we saw, this early intervention could have saved them thousands. In another business we identified thousands of dollars in dead stock they were missing and not acting on.

A good POS software help desk team will be vital to the benefits you achieve in your retail business. Consider help desk services when considering new POS software.
