One Hour ResponseBrains II engineers are on duty 24x7x365. And because they average less than two calls per day, their response time is exceptional. Once dispatched, an engineer will contact the customer within 20 minutes. For critical problems, these professionals are usually on site in two hours or less, with the average being less than one hour. All service personnel, from dispatch to logistics, are equipped with 2-way communication devices for quick and easy access. Our customers repeatedly praise our service staff for their exceptional response time. Bilingual Call Center / Help DeskOnce a service call is placed, Help Desk immediately determines the severity of the problem. Their technical skills and access to trouble shooting guides allow them to better determine the customer’s service needs and whether our Technical Support Specialists can solve the problem immediately over the phone. If service is required they will dispatch a Customer Engineer to your location and thereon monitor repair times and manage the escalation procedure when needed. Escalation ProcedureIn case of an emergency, Brains II follows a well-documented Escalation Procedure to quickly bring a broad range of resources to assist the situation. Service Managers, Technical Experts, Product Specialists and senior management are brought together to guarantee customer satisfaction, no matter what it takes. The Brains II Escalation Procedure can also be tailored to meet a customer’s specific needs. Quality AssuranceTo ensure the quality of our service, Brains II engineers will call the customer the day after the service work is completed; making sure that the equipment is functioning properly.

The net result… problems are handled before they become major issues and downtime is reduced. In fact, many times an issue is resolved before the customer is aware that service was needed. Parts & SparingThrough purchases and acquisitions, Brains II invested more than 20 million dollars in its extensive inventory of spare parts, sub-assemblies, test equipment, bench repair facilities and complete test and loaner machines. Branches across the country stock their own inventory of spare parts based on anticipated need.
