Taking the initiative to facilitate easy customer queries into the status of repaired units, Hewlett-Packard has provided customers with the facility to monitor repairs via the Internet. "This is another move by Hewlett-Packard to add value to the channel online," declares Traci Maynard, product manager for Hewlett-Packard peripherals at Tarsus Technologies, the distribution arm of JSE-listed MB Technologies.
According to Maynard, when a customer brings a unit into the HP Service Reception for repair, he or she is provided with a unique PIN code on their receipt. Using this code, the customer can log into the web site where they will be advised of the status of the repair job.
"Hewlett-Packard has invested many hours and considerable effort in making the service interaction with the top printer manufacturer in South Africa even easier," concludes Maynard.
