Acer leads as example in customer service

Bioggio, SWITZERLAND (May 22, 2024) – Customer service has always been at the center of Acer corporate strategy.  When choosing one brand over another, after-sales service is a crucial element that is assessed alongside design and build quality. Unlike many competitors who outsource this important asset, Acer has retained full control of its repair centres. The enormous advantage of this is the ability to adapt to market flows, optimize repairs though maximum flexibility, and guarantee top repair quality.

The advantages of ownership
Experienced logistics, call centres and repair centres owned by Acer are perfectly synchronised to optimise repair chain procedures. This minimises unplanned operating and maintenance expenses:  products can be distributed to other repair centres to avoid bottlenecks at a single centre; out-of-stock spare parts are quickly shipped from Acer’s logistic hub in Poland or supplied by another service centre; Acer technicians can also move across centres to offer their expertise and support during peak periods. This flexibility leads to:
− averaging repair time between 4 and 5 days
− repair quality is guaranteed, and each part is repaired according to the same criteria used by the repair centre where the PC was originally delivered
− warehouse management is more streamlined and functional, minimising long-term storage.
What’s more.
- more personalized services by customizing the systems and processes to fit specific needs.
- more efficient solutions when issues arise, as the internal team of technicians is already familiar with technology, systems, and processes.
- more secure environment for customer data. By having a certified team of L1 professionals on staff, customers can rest assured that all data are safely and securely managed.
