Step-by-Step Guide

1. Understand Support Services

Clarus Software Ltd provides support for Clarus WMS, which includes investigating and fixing issues, routine maintenance, and providing updates to the software. It does not cover issues caused by not following instructions, misuse, or problems with third-party software.

WARNING: Support will not be provided if authorised users are not properly trained to use Clarus WMS.

2. Report an Incident

If you have a problem with Clarus WMS, you need to report it to the company using the provided contact details. Once reported, you will receive a Task Number.

REMEMBER: You must provide all the necessary information for the company to understand and reproduce the issue. This includes details about the problem and, if needed, access to your systems. Response and resolution times start only after all required information is provided.

3. Understand Priority Levels

Your reported incident will be given a priority level (P1, P2, P3, or P4) based on its impact:

  • P1: The system is completely down and Clarus WMS is unavailable for all users.
  • P2: There's a significant loss of important features, affecting many users and causing a major business impact.
  • P3: Features are lost or the system is running slowly, causing a minor or short-term impact and affecting a small number of users.
  • P4: A small error or question that has little to no effect on how Clarus WMS works.

4. Know Response and Resolution Times

Clarus Software Ltd aims to respond and resolve incidents within certain timeframes, depending on your support tier (Standard, Gold, or Platinum) and the incident's priority. P1 and P2 incidents are supported 24/7. P3 and P4 incidents are supported during business hours only.

REMEMBER: Response time is measured from when the incident is logged until the first response. Resolution time is measured from when the incident is logged until a temporary or permanent fix is provided. For P3 and P4 incidents, these times are measured only during business hours. If logged outside business hours, the time starts at the beginning of the next business day.
