• Serve as a primary contact for select customer sites after implementation, including site visits to build and maintain relationships.
• Communicate effectively with customers regarding products, services, and issue resolution.
• Maintain accurate records of customer interactions, feedback, project warranties, support contacts, and service discontinuance orders.
• Keep system information current, including relevant software and equipment updates.
• Follow up on unresolved customer issues, coordinate with appropriate departments, and ensure resolution.
