Requirements
Quality Logic sought out Soffront Software's TRACKWeb Help Desk to enhance effectiveness of their technical support staff and to facilitate interdepartmental communication between technical support and quality assurance. The company also wanted to merge a number of non-associated data tracking tools into one unified system.
Solution
The field Engineer for QualityLogic, said, "TRACKWeb Help Desk put our technical support issue tracking and resolution, support contract tracking, product defect tracking, and return materials authorization functions into a unified system that was easier to implement and maintain than the separate databases it replaced."
He explained that the TRACK system was installed six years ago with the purchase of TRACKDefects, and has been used daily since that time. "When we wanted to automate technical support data tracking, we went back to Soffront because we liked their initial defect tracking application."
"We chose Soffront because of their competitive pricing," the field engineer continued. "Overall, Soffront satisfies our need for an easy-to-modify tracking system at the right price. We have grown with Soffront products over the past several years and they continue to offer us the best overall solution."
Results
TRACKWeb Help Desk was easily modified to fit their particular needs. "The multi-user functionality suited our need to have many technicians and engineers draw data from the system and make inputs to it," he said. "Since installing TRACKWeb Help Desk we have significantly reduced our RMA follow-up workload."
