Introduction to ThinkReservations Customer Success Department
ThinkReservations offers world-class support to our valued clients. We understand that questions and issues can arise when using our products and services. To ensure our customers get the assistance they need, we have a dedicated Customer Success Department. This department comprises 3 teams: Onboarding, Customer Success, and Customer Support.
Onboarding Team
During onboarding, you receive support from the Onboarding team until your dedicated Onboarding Specialist determines you are ready to transition to Customer Support and Customer Success. The Onboarding team helps you get up to speed on our products and services and ensures you are using all our features.
The onboarding team will help you get your data and settings configured, then walk you through them, as you are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the data in your account.
Customer Success Team
The Customer Success team assists you with feature adoption and account reviews and provides proactive support. This team works with you individually to help ensure you get the most out of your ThinkReservations subscription and that your feedback is heard.
Customer Support Team
The Customer Support team helps you with questions or issues about one of our products or services. They are available to answer questions and help troubleshoot any problems that may arise. In addition, they act as liaisons to our technical, engineering, and design teams. Support can be reached via phone, email, or live chat.
Pro Tip: Please note that if you would like to speak with us on the phone, please give us a call instead of an email or chat. Our inbound support line is available from 8 AM to 7 PM EST, Monday through Friday.
Managing Expectations
Your subscription to ThinkReservations Property Management System includes access to our support and success team and online resources such as videos and documentation. There may be issues or questions that require additional research or third-party assistance. On these occasions, our team will do its best to guide you through the process, but there may be some limitations and additional steps that we cannot complete for you.
Generally speaking, if an account user has the access and ability to make a change to the account, it is the user's responsibility to make it. Our support teams are there to unblock you so you can make any required changes. This is generally provided through education, and we understand that everyone learns differently. We offer self-help resources in the Support Center, including written instructions and videos. We are also happy to walk you through the steps over the phone, via chat, or via screen share.
If you don't have time to complete certain steps in your account, you can grant account access to other staff or trusted individuals. At this time, ThinkReservations does not offer a managed service where we can act as your staff. A limited exception is offered to clients on Tier 3 of our ThinkMarketing service offering.
Tips for Getting Your Questions Answered and Issues Resolved
When contacting the Customer Support team, please provide sufficient relevant information about the issue or question. Typically, this means more information. This can include screenshots, specific steps you took before the issue occurred, or detailed instructions for reproducing the issue. Having this information beforehand will help expedite the resolution process.
Ensure your initial outreach to support includes questions if you are looking for answers. Detailed questions make it easier for our teams to understand exactly what the concern is or what information you need. This saves you time because you don't have to wait for our team to ask for follow-up information or qualifying questions like:
Can you please share the confirmation number for the reservation in question?
What's the error message that you are seeing, verbatim, please?
What's the exact URL of the report that you are running, please, so we can run the same report?
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
Your Responsibilities
We expect our clients to take ownership of their accounts. As an account owner or user, you will need to maintain your account. This includes adding pricing to extend your calendar and reviewing information for accuracy.
We provide informative and educational information in our Support Center and employ very knowledgeable staff. It's up to you to review and read the information and ask questions if you need clarification.
At ThinkReservations, we understand that mistakes can happen, and we strive to minimize and address them whenever possible. We are always happy to review your account with you to ensure that everything, including pricing, is configured correctly and to clarify any questions or concerns. However, please note that ThinkReservations cannot provide compensation for financial losses, whether estimated or confirmed, resulting from errors in an account caused by our actions or inaction.
Help us help you. Please provide detailed information when submitting a support request, including screenshots or examples where applicable. This allows us to troubleshoot efficiently and resolve your issue more quickly. Working together helps us provide the best support possible!

Beyond that, ThinkReservations customer success and customer support are both available for supplemental training for you and your staff within reason.

We will do our best to help as much as we can where it makes sense. We will also be happy to guide you through the process of resolving any issues or answering any questions.
