The Support Service
There are two
options available for logging a problem or issue with the CTS
Retail Support Desk; by email or by telephone.
Email
An email form will
need to be completed which ensures we have all the information
necessary to deal with the problem. The email form can be added
as a custom POS button and placed on your desktop if you wish.
This enables you to instantly log any problems and saves you
from queuing to speak with an operator. A call reference number
will be emailed back to you automatically and the issue is
logged onto our call logging system which will be dealt with as
quickly and efficiently as it would if it were placed via
telephone.
Telephone
Initially when you
contact Support on your assigned telephone number your call will
be answered by one of our Support Operators. This is a team of
trained staff to ensure your call gets answered efficiently and
professionally. The Support Operator’s role is to ensure the
call is logged with great detail and then assigned to the next
level for investigation and resolution.
Once the Support
Operator has all the required details to investigate they will
then assign the call to a Support Associate who will
investigate, resolve and contact you to ensure all has been
tested and it is working to your satisfaction.

Management Process
Urgent Issues
If you find
yourself in a system down/non-trading situation, for example, if
your tills cease to work, then when you contact the Support
Team, our phone system will offer the opportunity to jump the
queue if there is one and go direct to a Team Leader.
CTS Retail Escalation Paths
We aim for high
customer satisfaction on all Support calls and we will work
closely with you to resolve any problems. If at any stage you
believe your call is not being dealt with to your satisfaction,
you may speak to one of our Team Leaders in the first instance.
If you are not
satisfied at this stage, a member of the Support Desk Management
Team will resolve your issue.
CTS Retail SLA’s and Call Priorities
Depending on the
nature of the call received our Support team will assign the
call a priority. The priority given determines our SLA response
and resolution times which will be predefined in the Terms and
Conditions. Details of these can be found below;
