Support Report from GVL Customer Success – September 2020

by Ali Oaks | September 30, 2020

Welcome to our monthly newsletter created by the Customer Success team to highlight seasonal trends, helpful hints, and GVL news.


A view from our desks (at home)

Reviewing last month’s support inquiries, our team saw a lower than average total compared to the last few months — around 3,400 cases. EIA (Coggins) testing season has started slowing down, which accounts for this drop in cases. We expect the next month to follow suit with the transition to autumn. No matter the season, our support team continues to answer your calls, emails, and chats in a timely fashion.

Here’s a glimpse of how responsive our team is:

  • 83.1% of calls were answered in 30 seconds or less
  • Average time to first chat response was 27 seconds

Common questions we’re hearing

Q: “Where can I find documents that were signed over a year ago?”

A: Any digital certificate ever written in your clinic can be found under the Records tab. You can go to “Records” on the left menu, then select “Certificates”. From here you can enter a date range and additional search criteria to narrow down your results to find your documents. You can then download, email, or print from this screen.

Q: “My client signed up for a MyVetLink account and now they say their account is locked. What does this mean?”

A: This means that the verification process wasn’t followed completely by the client. The owner will want to locate an email with the subject “Finish MyVetLink account set up.” Once they receive it, they can follow the link provided to unlock their account and login normally.
