Understanding the Pluto LMS Support Scope


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) Email support 

You can reach out to support@plutolms.com if you need assistance on how to use your LMS. 

> Email support is an appropriate choice in many situations, including:
  1. Complex or technical issues that require your to provide detailed information (e.g. screenshot, explanations, etc.) to our support team. 
  2. Non-urgent inquiries such as general questions or requests for information. 
  3. Email support can be beneficial for customers who have difficulty communicating in the support center's primary language (English) as they can take the time to translate their questions or concerns.

2) Phone Call Support

  1. Urgent or time-sensitive issues that require immediate attention. (Please note that a phone call does not guarantee immediate resolution; it does however allow our support team to gather all the information they need to start work on the issue as soon as possible)
  2. 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.
