24-Hour Response Support SLA
Cái 24-Hour Response Support SLA for Automotive Electronics defines how Ikagoo handles tickets across severities, channels, and time zones. It sets first-response targets, một 3-tier escalation ladder, RMA workflow expectations, and service credits for recurring misses—so you know who owns your case, when to expect updates, and what evidence speeds resolution.
Definitions & scope
- Ticket: any support case created via email, contact form, or chat.
- First response: the first human reply from Ikagoo (auto-responders excluded).
- Business hours: Monday–Friday, 09:00–18:00 (warehouse & support); local holidays excluded.
- Coverage: pre-sales fitment, order & shipping, installation guidance, troubleshooting, warranty & RMA.
- Exclusions: custom coding, non-Ikagoo accessories, unsupported vehicle retrofits.
Severity levels & targets
| Severity | Definition | First response | Initial action | Update cadence | Typical outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sev-1 (Critical) | Safety risk or total failure during install (e.g., device won’t boot, no display, power fault). | < 12 hrs (business days) | Immediate Tier-2 review; hot-swap or DOA path if evidence complete. | Mỗi 24 hrs until mitigated | Hot swap, advanced replacement, or DOA processing. |
| Sev-2 (High) | Major function degraded (audio loss, touch freeze) but safe to drive. | < 24 hrs | Workaround or parts plan within 1–2 business days. | Mỗi 48 hrs | Firmware/settings fix, parts ship, or RMA after diagnostics. |
| Sev-3 (Standard) | How-to, compatibility, accessories, order & shipping questions. | < 24 hrs | Knowledge base guidance; queue for detailed review if needed. | As progress occurs | Instructions, links, minor parts, or policy guidance. |
Targets are service goals. Persistent misses caused by our processes may receive goodwill credits (see “Service credits”).
Channels, time zones & languages
- Channels: email, contact form, and chat (where available). Phone callbacks are scheduled from tickets.
- Time zones: timestamps are recorded in system UTC; business-hours windows follow our operations calendar.
- Ngôn ngữ: English primary; we accept tickets in other languages with translation support as available.
Evidence that speeds resolution
- Order number, product model, vehicle year/make/model, and optional VIN.
- Issue summary, frequency, steps tried, and when it occurs (cold start, after drive, etc.).
- Photos or continuous issue/unboxing video plus the serial number label.
- For shipping damage or DOA, include tracking page screenshots and packaging photos. See our Bảo đảm hư hỏng trong quá trình vận chuyển.
Escalation ladder
- Tier 1: intake & triage, knowledge base guidance, basic logs/photos collection.
- Tier 2: device diagnostics, firmware checks, harness mapping, bench replication.
- Tier 3: engineering review—edge cases, component analysis, and reproduction plan.
Sev-1 with complete evidence can jump straight to hot-swap/DOA handling.
RMA workflow
- Advanced replacement: offered where practical after Tier-2 review; a deposit/hold may apply until the original returns.
- Đóng gói: use original foam to prevent secondary damage; write the RMA # on the outer carton.
Response & resolution expectations
- First response: within 24 hours for all new tickets (Sev-1 within 12 hours on business days).
- Update cadence: Sev-1 every 24 hours; Sev-2 every 48 hours; Sev-3 as progress occurs.
- Resolution time: depends on diagnostics, parts availability, and shipping lanes (see cross-links below).
Customer responsibilities
- Provide requested photos/videos and the serial label promptly.
- Use compatible power/fuses; avoid loom modifications unless advised by support.
- Retain packaging until installation passes; required for DOA/shipping claims.
Exclusions & fair use
- Delays from missing evidence, late responses, or third-party shop schedules.
- Unsupported retrofits, non-Ikagoo accessories, or custom firmware.
- Force majeure, widespread courier disruptions, or regulatory holds.
Measurement, KPIs & service credits
- Measurement: first-response time is the delta from ticket creation to first human reply.
- KPIs: adherence to first-response target, update cadence compliance, time-to-diagnose, time-to-ship parts.
- Credits: if we repeatedly miss first-response targets due to our process, we may issue goodwill credits or shipping upgrades at our discretion.
- Transparency: you can request your ticket timestamps and escalation history anytime.
Outage & incident communication
- Sev-1 incident: we post a summary and ETA once available; follow-ups share mitigations/workarounds.
- Post-mortems: for widespread issues, a brief cause and corrective actions summary is provided.
