FAQ and Service Info
Comprehensive support around your enterprise mobility and enterprise network solutions… where you need it, how you need it – on demand.
Technical support isn’t a job for a customer service agent reading from a script.
ScanOnline’s levels of support all utilize the skills of trained and certified tech gurus from an array of backgrounds on the other end of your line, ready to help. Speaking of, we can do more than phone-to-phone walkthroughs to help you. We offer on-site visits and computer/system screen sharing options to work hand in hand with you on the specific problem in real time from anywhere in the world. Need someone to look at a concern of yours outside of our typical hours? No problem – ScanOnline offers select tiers of support to meet your support needs and requirements.
I want to order hardware “as is”, meaning no software, services, support, et. is needed. Is this possible?
Of course! You can find some of our most popular choices here, but contact us to get a full rundown of our current offerings. Our hardware portfolio is far too deep and innovations launch frequently, thus we can help sort you out with tech that makes sense for you and your price point.
What’s the difference between Managed Services vs your general support?
First and foremost, we guarantee your satisfaction with every order and every service we provide. With that said, ScanOnline will troubleshoot and support anything you work with us on until your expectations are met, given some actions may need to be billed depending on the nature of your issues. In a sense, support is considered a baseline offering.
Managed Services, in contrast is a “for contract” service. It can include the constant proactive monitoring and maintenance of mobile devices, data collection hardware and wireless network hardware/infrastructure and accessories. Consider it more of a “safety net” level of support for your wireless technology, where you have the flexibility to contract for only the device or hardware management, maintenance and repair needs that fit your situation, handled by in our case, our managed services group. Back to maintenance – the MSG team can cover you for any updates to hardware/firmware, physical changes, integrity testing and much more, to ensure your device’s good health and uptime.2 Questions - Where are you located and what is your range for services and support?
We’re headquartered in Locust, North Carolina, 30 minutes east from downtown Charlotte.
Though we’re local to the Charlotte area, our reach is national, with technicians, sales, and project managers both located and available to travel across the continental United States (Alaska/Hawaii excluded). We also can handle projects in Canada and Mexico
We’re building a new site and would like to have our entire enterprise network infrastructure up and running on day one. What is the “depth on your bench” and how much can you provide to get us to go live right away?
We can supply the end-to-end hardware, software and services to build and support the full scope of an enterprise’s network infrastructure in any facility. We offer full project services, management and consultation including network infrastructure design, site surveys, system installations, configurations and network integrity checks to complete every project. Our experience includes small office sites and cozy industrial spaces to million square foot industrial facilities and even large hospitality facilities.
Why do you not have a software development team?
We’ll be honest. We find that the providers and partnerships we have forged have a clear focus in the one (or multiple) workforce software offering(s) they create. With our relationships however, we can provide software, coupled with hardware, at a cost that is less than what they would be by directly working with the original software provider. Everyone wins and more or less, we don’t want to “recreate the wheel”. It makes our solutions – hardware, software and services actually stronger, and frees us up to offer you more value than other solutions providers. While we are well versed in the product lines, from “soup to nuts”, their development teams have built some of the best workforce software in the industry and can tackle any customization job around their work, in some cases in a minute’s notice.
Can you help me pick out the right workforce management software and other industry specific solutions, like warehouse management systems (WMS)?
In reference to the previous question, this is exactly what we do. In our time, we have matured relationships to be able to give you the best workforce software per need, that aligns with our hardware and services capabilities, for the modern mobile workplace you desire. We’re well versed in many supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) types, custom asset management solutions, enterprise analytics dashboards and legacy system integration.
What if I only want one offering in opposition to a full slate of choices?
Most of what we can offer can be bundled, separated, or isolated to get you exactly what it is you need to help you improve how your business operates. We manipulate both products and contracting to fit the exact need of our clients. Need just one hardware piece? We got it. Want a stand-alone custom business application but plan on using your own hardware? Just tell us what hardware you plan on using before we get started to ensure compatibility and to build around possible scalability needs for the future. Want to monitor your network, but don't want to include maintenance services to a managed services contract? You get the picture – we’re flexible.
I'm new to this. What are workforce solutions?
Well, dependent on who you ask, they can be many things, admittedly because of the wide use of the term- it can even be used as a human resources staffing service for hire! In our case, we consider the term “workforce solution” as a combination of enterprise wireless, mobility technologies and innovations that optimize how tasks are completed, managed, reported… which lead to better decisions, future outcomes and a much stronger organization.
Do you have all the resources you'll need for our project, from the small (ladders, risers, laptops, general installation tools, etc.) to the large (personnel resources, permits) or will we need to make arrangements?
Short answer – it varies, dependent on what you currently have and what you are comfortable supplying. No matter what the project requires, our project management services can include making the necessary arrangements to get exactly what we need to finish the job. Our business analysis process will identify the full scope of work and resources required; we will meet all of the client’s expectations and to the right specification, with thorough performance and integrity testing in the end. Before getting to that point, we’ll work with you to determine resource needs.
Do you have remote support available?
Yes! We have a number of options to handle your support requests, some of which can be completed even over the phone. Talk to us and we’ll get you covered.
