Our Performance
Below are our actual statistics from our helpdesk system, showing our target response times and actual results, for the month of September 2024. We aim to update these figures at regular time periods when we review our progress.
Member Queries
All queries were handled within the published timeframes.
| Service | Target | Actual* |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | 48 hours (2 working days) | 23 hours 36 mins |
| Advanced | 48 hours (2 working days) | 17 hours 16 mins |
| Premium | 24 hours (1 working day) | 2 hours 21 mins |
| VAT / Small Business | 24 hours (1 working day) | 1 hour 8 mins |
Methodology
We base the actual wait time as starting on a working day and aim to respond within the relevant target. These figures are provided automatically by our helpdesk ticketing system.
For example, with Essentials we aim to respond within 48 hours. Where a message is sent at 16:00 on a Friday afternoon but not responded to until 15:00 on the following Tuesday afternoon, we do not count weekends as part of the process, but whole working days only – therefore this would be 23 hours.
Non-Member Queries
Non-member queries have a longer turnaround period than our support queries for existing members. However we aim to respond to these within the timeframes published below.
| Service | Target | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Sales / Package Enquiries | 72 hours (3 working days) | 23 hours 11 mins |
| Procurement Enquries | 240 hours (10 working days) | 78 hours 54 mins |
