the customer will provide the necessary lift for future services. This
reduces the likelihood of delays or interruptions in service, maintaining
high operational efficiency.
● Risk Mitigation
This agreement helps mitigate risks associated with servicing equipment
installed at nonstandard heights. It ensures that Pro-Vigil is not held
responsible for providing a lift for future services, which could pose
logistical and financial challenges.
● Legal Protection
The signed agreement serves as a legal document that can protect
Pro-Vigil in case of any disputes related to service provision or equipment
maintenance. It clearly outlines the customer’s responsibilities, providing
a basis for any legal actions if necessary.
● Customer Awareness and Commitment
It ensures that customers are fully informed about the implications of
installing equipment at nonstandard heights. By agreeing to the terms,
customers demonstrate their commitment to adhering to the conditions
set forth, fostering a cooperative relationship between Pro-Vigil and the
customer.
● Ensuring Service Quality

The purpose of this document is to outline the steps required to create and manage a
CSAT ticket following the completion of a customer onboarding ticket for an installation.
This ensures that the project is properly closed and the PMO CSAT ticket is created and
updated appropriately.
Create and Update PMO CSAT Ticket
1. Create a New Ticket:
○ Navigate to the PMO CSAT form.
○ Enter the Customer POC as the requestor.
○ Apply the "PMO - Internal CSAT Note" macro:
■ This macro includes internal notes necessary for the CSAT process.
○ Update the subject line to reflect the correct site name.
○ In the ticket body, include:
■ The URL of the corresponding MIP ticket.
■ The Customer's contact email.
○ Submit the ticket with the status set to NEW.
2. Update the Ticket with a Public Comment:
○ Reopen the previously submitted ticket.
○ Apply the "PMO - Public Customer CSAT Request" macro:
■ This macro includes the request for the customer to provide CSAT
feedback.
○ Ensure all macro details are correct:
■ The Customer POC is correctly identified as the requestor.
■ The subject line contains the correct site name.
■ The install date is accurately updated.
○ Submit the ticket with the status set to Solved.
CSAT Ticket Creation for Installations
Important Notes:
● Accuracy: Double-check all details (Customer POC, site name, install date) for
accuracy to avoid any confusion or errors.
● Communication: Ensure that the communication is clear and professional when
notifying the customer.
This process starts two to three days prior to the install date. You will verify that everything is ready to move forward then speak to the customer to verify that they are ready for the install to ensure a successful installation. This also allows for time to stall a truck roll on a dry run and give time to escalate in the event of an issue.
1. Go to your Mobile Install Parent Tickets list in Zendesk as part of the daily scrum and look for the tickets with an install date 2-3 days away.
2. Open that MIP ticket to start.
3. Open the Inventory Unit Request & Shipping Ticket side conversation
4. Go to the sidebar and scroll down to the bottom and look for the Tracking Number field to get the shipping tracking number.
5. Normally, the freight tracker starts with a 60 and the Fedex tracker starts with a 70 or 40.
6. Determine which type of tracking number it is and open either the Priority1 or Fedex tracking site and enter the number into the tracking
field.
7. The tracker will indicate where the package/freight is currently in the delivery schedule.
8. Open the calendar invitation for this install and verify that the tracking information link is there. If not, add the link to the tracker info on the
invite.
9. Go back to the Zendesk ticket, close the Inventory request ticket and open the Tech Install side conversation.
10.Verify that the tech info is present on the sidebar. A PV tech should be shown as a follower to the ticket and listed near the bottom of the ticket
in the field “Was A Site Visit Required?”
11.Verify that the lift information is up to date i.e. whether or not the customer is providing one or Pro-Vigil is.
12.Once this information is gathered and verified, it is now time to contact the site POC.
13.Highlight the contact number in the ticket body and click on the Ring Central icon to initiate the call.
14.Inform the site contact the reason for the call and proceed to inform them that the equipment is on the way with the estimated delivery date
and time. Let them know that the tech is schedule to arrive on the install date and the time they will arrive by. Verify that the site is ready
and if applicable, that the power is ready with a constant power source and available receptacles in place to use.
15.If everything is ready, ask the POC if there are any further questions or concerns before ending the call.
16.If any issues arise, i.e. no power, no forklift available after all, or any conditions that would delay the install, you can begin the escalation
process.
17.If no forklift will be made available for any reason, start the rental process via BigRentz to ensure the tech has a lift if needed.
18.If no power is available, get a commitment on when it will be and reschedule the tech visit with the customer.
19. If the site is not ready for any other reason, get a commitment from the customer for another date and reschedule the tech visit.
20.Update the Tech Install ticket, the MIP Parent ticket, and the case notes with the relevant readiness information.
21.For a delay, place the case notes into the appropriate install delay status, change the case notes subject line to future install and update
the notes with the reason for the delay and the solution to the delay as well as change the install date to the future date.
22.Once all of this is accomplished, the process is complete.

Removal Process
1. Access the Zendesk open ticket queue and select the appropriate ticket for your region based on the oldest received date.
2. Review the ticket and check for the Customer Saves Ticket to validate the customer did request the removal.
3. Call the customer for a kickoff to coordinate the removal and verify the customer provided lift, access information, and site access hours.
4. Provide the customer with the process details and the date of removal.
Zendesk
1. Copy the info in the internal removal request to a public reply in the existing removal request. Remove any unnecessary internal information i.e. the next billing date, RMR etc.

3. The customer is requested to provide a forklift for the tech to move the equipment accordingly. (PV techs with a trailer will not get a forklift)
4. The tech will be instructed to notify the PM once on site and verify the equipment matches the ticket prior to starting the removal.
5. The tech will take pictures of the equipment and upload to Zendesk(PV techs) or send them to the PM via email, or text attachment. This is to verify the correct equipment has been removed and that it is properly prepped for transport according to the Removal Shipping Requirement Document.
Forklift and Freight
1. Freight return shipping is requested for solar solutions only.
2. Send an email to the correct Production Logistics Tech listing the Scheduled Date, Units to Remove, Address, POC, and who the assigned tech is.

Calendar invite will state the scope of the relocation ie. Move across street, Move to a another location, etc.
Complete and submit the Zendesk ticket and complete and send the calendar invitation.
Swaps
Same 1st steps as the removal ie. Zendesk ticket, location, POC, etc
Use the unit request form to order the equipment to be replaced

Greetings,
I am contacting you in regard to your request for surveillance cameras at your site in _________. I called and left you a message to call me back. I know your time is valuable and I'd like to get your cameras installed as soon as possible. In order to get the equipment into production and arrange scheduling for shipping and a technician, I will need to verify some information and go over some details.
1. Who will be the onsite contact who will be able to receive our equipment in either a package or freight delivery?
2. Is there a secure location to store the equipment until the tech arrives? (Typically 1-3 days)
3. If the equipment is powered units, will there be a 110v receptacle within 100’ of the camera unit and if necessary, will you have a pole in place prior to installation?
4. I show the shipping address to be _____________________. Is that the correct location to send the equipment, and if not what is the correct address. If an address is not available, please provide a good pin drop which our freight carriers can use to find you.
5. Solar solutions require a forklift to move the equipment into place. Will you have one available or will I need to send one to the site?
6. Is this an OSHA regulated site and if not, what PPE is required for the tech to wear while on this site?
7. Do you have a deadline (drop dead) date for the equipment to be installed or a specific date you would like to request?
Once we get this information verified I will have our coordinator start working on scheduling the equipment production and shipping as well as scheduling a technician to perform the installation. If a solar solution is ordered, it will be shipped via a freight carrier and we quote 5 day shipping for delivery. Package shipping time varies depending on the location. Once the schedule is completed, you will receive a calendar invitation with the dates and details. Please let me know who will need to receive the invitation. I will be your primary contact from here until project completion. I will contact you up to 48 hours prior to the installation date to confirm that the schedule, shipment, and tech are ready to go and to see if there are any questions.
When the tech arrives, he/she will break the seal on the equipment box and conduct an inventory check. He/she will then start staging the equipment where it will be placed with a forklift if solar, and using a ladder if not. The equipment will be assembled and mounted according to the type whether powered or solar and the cameras will be sighted in. You will be shown the camera images for your approval and once you have approved everything, the tech will then call in for the final testing and enablement.
When the installation is complete and our compliance testing is done, you will be scheduled for a google meets call so that we can hand you over to our Customer Success team your cameras remotely.
Please respond to this within 48 hours of receiving this email in order to avoid unnecessary delays in scheduling your installation. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at the information below.
