SmarterTrack customer portal now has mobile interface


         
SmarterTrack the customer service portal from SmarterTools now has a mobile interface after the recent V5 update. The mobile interface allows agents to check and respond to customer tickets, transfer tickets and change the ticket status. Above are some screenshots taken from my iPhone to show the interface in action.

This is a fantastic feature to allow agents quick and easy mobile access to the support ticket system. Once you have updated your installation to V5 simply point your mobile web browser to <yoursupporturl>/mobile/ .

There are some enhancements I would like to see, but since this is a first release I am sure they will be added in the future.

  • No access to custom fields
  • No option to delete a ticket or mark as spam
  • iPhone copy option does not work when viewing a ticket

The mobile interface is only available from V5. To be able to update your SmarterTrack installation you must have current upgrade protection. This is available from ServerTastic at 10% discount.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

SmarterTools Reseller Performance


Over the years we have sold many products on ServerTastic. One of the companies we have worked with from the start has been SmarterTools. They produce an awseome range of products including SmarterMail (a highly efficient mail server with ActiveSync support), SmarterStats (a mega powerful web site statistics package with SEO reporting) and SmarterTrack (a customer service portal as used on ServerTastic).

This morning I received an email from them detailing my current reseller performance (we have to meet certain quarterly sales targets). In the summary was the lifetime total products sold. I have done a screen grab below as I could not believe it myself!


Yes we have sold $415,351.96 worth of SmarterTools products! This proves a number of things. 
  • SmarterTools produce fantastic products
  • It was the right decision to become a reseller. We have also renewed our partnership for another year; Press Release.
  • You (our customers) clearly love the products (and I am grateful you chose ServerTastic as your reseller)
If you have not heard of SmarterTools before check out the range of products on our website available for a 10% discount over RRP.

SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion Ends


ST_logoBlock.png

PROMOTION EXTENDED TO 30TH SEPTEMBER 2009

It is now the last few days before the end of the SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion on 24th September 2009 30th September 2009.

At the moment you can obtain upgrade protection for any SmarterTools product for 50% of the products standard RRP price (plus extra 10% discount at ServerTastic).

After the 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 it will cost 85% of the products standard RRP price to "re-activate" upgrade protection (but you still get an extra 10% off with ServerTastic).

Products can only be upgraded to the latest version with upgrade protection. There is no longer a one off upgrade option available. 

In the future if you have existing upgrade protection then you will be able to renew this each year for 40% of the products standard RRP price (plus an extra 10% off with ServerTastic - did I say that already??).

This promotion presents a great opportunity to get all your products covered for 12 months upgrade protection at the low promo price before 24th September 2009 30th September 2009.

View the SmarterTools product page on ServerTastic for upgrade protection pricing.

Some examples of the cost differences

SmarterMail Enterprise 1000 Mailboxes

Cost to purchase upgrade protection with ServerTastic before 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $404.55

Cost to re-activate upgrade protection with ServerTastic after 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $687.74

SmarterStats Enterprise 1000 Sites

Cost to purchase upgrade protection with ServerTastic before 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $674.55

Cost to re-activate upgrade protection with ServerTastic after 24th September 2009 30th September 2009 - $1,146.74

So if you have not got the picture yet here it is - I highly recommend that if you own a SmarterTools product and intend to upgrade within the next 12 months you purchase upgrade protection now!

Reading this after 24th September 2009 30th September 2009?

If you are reading this after the promotion has finished and feel upset or angry because you missed the promotion I am very sorry. But I did post it a number of times on the blog, Facebook and Twitter. Plus it is sent to our mailing list. If you only receive email updates once a month consider subscribing to the weekly or daily updates by clicking here.

SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Promotion - CORRECTION


It seems a few bits of information I previously posted were wrong or as some UK customers would sometimes say "It's all gone Pete Tong"

A bit of a stir was created following my previous post on the SmarterTools Upgrade Protection Program.

I incorrectly stated that by purchasing the Upgrade Protection Promotion you would also be able to upgrade your version limits at the same time (such as increase number of sites / users / agents and move from PRO to ENT versions).

In an email conversation last week I confirmed with SmarterTools via email the details of the Upgrade Protection Promotion. I specifically asked about upgrading limits and about Pro to Ent upgrades and I was told that this was included within the promotion.

So I prepared all the information for the ServerTastic site and blog. I have now had to correct this information on the site and the original blog post.

Now that I have corrected the information please do not forget that this promotion still represents a good saving if you want to upgrade your current installation to the latest version within the next 12 months.

Everyone gets to make one Big Mistake?
