Support

The ESPRITWeb Support portal is your all-in-one hub for quick and efficient help with anything ESPRIT-related. Whether you need technical support, access to downloads, or the latest product updates, this portal keeps it all right at your fingertips.

Once submitted, the system automatically routes your request to our support queue, and you’ll be notified when your ticket has been assigned to an application engineer.

Keep Communication Inside the Ticket

Here’s a pro tip: always keep your communication within the support ticket on the portal. While replying to email notifications might seem convenient, those emails go directly to the AE handling your case and won’t be visible to the rest of the team. This means if your AE is unavailable or tied up, no one else can step in to assist—definitely not ideal!

By keeping everything inside the support ticket (just click "Add Note" to update!), you ensure:

  • More visibility: The entire Support Team can see your updates and collaborate if necessary.
  • No downtime: If your AE isn’t available, another AE can jump in without missing a beat.
  • Full transparency: All notes and communications are in one place, making troubleshooting faster and more efficient.

How to Add Notes to Your Request

Want to keep your support ticket moving forward? Here’s how you can easily add updates:

  1. Log into ESPRITWeb.
  2. Find your ticket in the "Support Requests List."
  3. Click "Add Note" to drop your update or question.

It’s that simple! This is the best way to ensure your ticket stays active, and the team remains in the loop.

Communication Best Practices: Who to Contact

While we encourage open communication and recommend staying in touch with your Account Manager regarding any updates on your ESPRIT account, we kindly ask that you refrain from sending operational issues or technical questions to the sales team. Instead, submit these issues via the support portal for the same visibility benefits mentioned earlier. This way, your request will be handled efficiently and by the right people.

Maximize Your Support Experience

By keeping all communication within ESPRITWeb, you’ll avoid delays, missed updates, or unnecessary back-and-forth. Let’s work together to make solving your issues easier and more efficient.

As part of our standard procedures, if a solution has been provided and the ticket is in "Waiting" status without confirmation from the client, a follow-up will be made within 48 hours. This helps ensure that no issue lingers unresolved. After 5 business days (or 7 days) without a response from the client, the ticket will be marked as “Resolved,” and a notification will be sent to the customer.

Keep things flowing smoothly by utilizing ESPRITWeb for all your support needs!
