QBF has created a new service, with which all QBF customers can submit all their support enquiries quickly and transparently. As of now, a practical online portal for questions, requests, and customisation jobs has been made available. It allows QBF clients to access the status of their request, and the associated data and documents at any time. [more]
You too can benefit from the service by way of a simple registration:
Please call Frank Nigbur at +49 (0)221 - 399091-0.
Our support portal is based on the same technology as the successful QBF customer portals for job management in repro houses. Most users should therefore be able to quickly familiarise themselves with the portal environment. All our customers will of course receive an easy to understand user documentation ahead of time. In case of any support-related queries, we will provide you with an individual, password-protected user access right away. For customers with an existing support agreement, the use of our new portal with all its benefits will be free of charge.
We have implemented this new portal to increase our ability to process support-related challenges. In addition to the increasing number of employees at QBF, particularly the number of international customers is ever increasing. By way of a centralised system, we will be able to better capture and organise your requests internally, and optimise the allocation of relevant resources to address your needs.
You will therefore continue to benefit from our target-oriented, competent query processing measures - but with an entirely new dimension of transparency and traceability. We would therefore ask you for your understanding that we will ‘forward’ personal requests received by phone or via email to our new portal. That way, we will be able to maintain and continue to increase our high level of support for all our customers.
