Based on our expert recommendation, deploy a support model and simplify the way your business works.

Here are the four main support models that can help any retailer achieve smooth, trouble-free everyday e-commerce operations.

Basic & Standard Model:

E-commerce presence is important for all size business because consumers use multiple channels when researching, selecting and buying a product. Small time retailers who have just stepped afoot in the ecommerce business need a trustworthy chaperone. Our basic and standard models come with the right kind of support these retailers require. The models uphold the ecommerce platform, maintain it bug-free and secure the data from hackers. New, unstable platforms are generally error prone and needs intense monitoring and support. These support models protect the system from external attack, make sure the platform is stable and up and running.

As the business grows, the incoming traffic increases which can be seamlessly handled by our support models. Any issue in the system will be attended to and resolved on priority basis. A team of experts sitting offshore will provide L1 and L2 support and ensure the system is stable and secure. In both basic and standard support models, the technical resources share multiple accounts or sites since the incoming traffic would be relatively low. However, leveraging dedicated technical expertise for critical incidents can be accomplished on an additional cost basis. When a critical incident is identified, a dedicated team of developers is temporarily assigned to identify the source of the incident and follow it until closure.

The only difference between the two support models is that the number of hours of support offered in a standard model is relatively higher than that of the basic model. With the round-the-clock and effective support system, optimize your ecommerce business. Small time retailers can make use of our proactive support models to achieve a well-established business and mark their presence in the industry.

Advanced Model:

In a digitally thriving industry where it’s easy to lose customers in a blink of an eye, there’s a need to pamper the customers with the best.  Leading industry players with growing customer base are equipped with multiple sites. The platform in which these sites run needs to be proactively monitored and protected from potential threats. System downtime even for a short period of time will cost the retailers not just reduced revenue but also their reputation.

With multiple sites, the incoming traffic will increase rapidly and so will the issues in the system. These retailers require an effective, round-the-clock support system that will handle all their issues. Advanced support model is best suited to their needs. This is one of the best models that come with multiple support features in addition to the services offered by the basic & standard support models. The team of experts will monitor the platform round-the-clock and maintain it bug-free. A dedicated development team with the expertise to make changes at the platform level is made available. They make sure that the platform is scalable to handle the large incoming traffic without crashing.

Updates and migrations are done on a regular basis to keep the system updated and error-free. The most effective support model promises minimum downtime even during peak sales hours and ensures the system is always up and running.

Exclusive Model:

Let’s talk about the Walmarts of the ecommerce business! Even established industry players with sophisticated platforms are exposed to potential threats that will affect their business big time. During a threat exposure, if the system is not stable, it will result in unwanted downtime leading to a huge revenue loss. Some issues can be a real threat and result in system downtime while some other less critical ones can be fixed in no time. Some critical issues may prolong beyond the estimated time of resolution if the business is not equipped with technical experts to resolve it. Issues, however, big or small need to be fixed before it affects the system and the business.

A sophisticated support system needs to accompany your platform to maintain it and prevent its failure. The support model will allow the retailers to customize the service based on their requirements. It comes with a team of talented resources with deep industry understanding.  A dedicated team working 24/7, exclusively for the client will proactively monitor the system and resolve the issues that arise in the platform, then and there.  The root cause of the issue is identified, analyzed, attended to and resolved in a short time frame of fifteen minutes.

Performance audits are conducted frequently to make sure the system is maintained healthy and bug-free. Timely upgradation of the system, website maintenance, and uptime monitoring will be taken care of in addition to providing basic support services. The team with extensive experience and technology expertise works proactively to improvise the customer experience. The team size and the pricing will vary with the customer requirements and the size of the business. Get the best service that your ecommerce business needs.
