We love our clients and place high priority on providing the best possible customer support.
Channels of Support
There are multiple channels of support and, as such, an important part of providing our clients with responsive and comprehensive support is ensuring that they understand in which scenarios each support channel is most appropriate and effective.
1) AI Chat Support
> AI chat support is an appropriate choice in situations where you require real-time assistance from support with issues that are not overly complex or technical. This can be helpful for customers who need immediate help but prefer not to search through docs.
2) Support Documentation

> Support documentation can be easily accessed through our knowledge base and allows you to access the information you need at any time and take action without having to wait for support centre hours.
3) Email support
> Email support is an appropriate choice in many situations, including:
- Complex or technical issues that require your to provide detailed information (e.g. screenshot, explanations, etc.) to our support team.
- Non-urgent inquiries such as general questions or requests for information.
4) Phone (Video) Call Support
> Phone call support is an appropriate choice when your require help with:
- Complex issues that require a conversation between the customer and the support agent. This allows for a more in-depth discussion of the problem and a better understanding of the customer's needs.
Please note that Clients are assisted on a first come first serve basis via our
booking system. If you require more "on-demand" escalation, please contact us for a quote for "Priority Dedicated Support".
5) Training
We provide all new Clients with 1-1 training. These sessions are most effective when Clients take action after calls. Scheduling back-to-back training is less effective than spacing sessions 1 week apart and taking responsibility to attempt using the LMS between sessions. Clients get the most out of this when there is data (material) on the LMS so that the support agent from Pluto LMS can assist you with anything you found difficult from the previous session.
6) Priority Dedicated SupportIf you require a dedicated Pluto LMS account manager, you can reach out to
support@plutolms.com. This optional add-on service includes:
> Separate support email which you can contact
> Consultations to ensure your business objections are successful
> Monthly check-in calls to ensure your success
> Priority escalation of queries
> SLA with response times
> Longer than 15 minute support calls
Response Times:
Email: Generally less than 8 business hours
Video Call: As booked via the calendar
AI Chatbot: Instantaneously
Urgent (if you cannot access your site): As soon as we are made aware of the issue
