01 Overview

Less friction for your users, fewer interruptions for your engineers.

Technical Support & Helpdesk is HIve's outsourced product support stream: first-line (L1) and second-line (L2) assistance, software navigation and onboarding guidance, step-by-step troubleshooting, and clear ticket logging and follow-ups for your users.

Most support tickets start with a user who is stuck: they can't find a setting, can't complete a task, or something has stopped working. The helpdesk handles first-line questions directly, works through second-line product issues methodically and guides new users through onboarding — so your own engineers only see the problems that genuinely need them.

02 What's included

What Technical Support & Helpdesk covers.

Every part of the service runs inside the tools you already use, to your standards, with clear and regular reporting.

  1. First-line (L1) and second-line (L2) product assistance

    First-line help with common questions and known issues, and second-line investigation of problems that need a closer look.

  2. Software navigation and onboarding guidance

    Patient guidance that helps new and existing users find their way around your software and get set up.

  3. Step-by-step issue troubleshooting

    Issues worked through methodically, one step at a time, until the cause is found or clearly escalated.

  4. Clear ticket logging and follow-ups

    Every issue logged with clear notes and followed up, so nothing is left unresolved or explained twice.

What is the difference between L1 and L2 support?
L1 (first-line) support handles common questions, navigation help and known issues. L2 (second-line) support takes on problems that need deeper, step-by-step investigation. Issues that need your own engineering team are escalated with clear ticket notes.
Does the team work in our existing helpdesk?
Yes. Workflows are designed around the tools you already use, and every issue is logged with clear notes and followed up inside your ticketing process.
Can HIve help new users get started with our software?
Yes. Software navigation and onboarding guidance is part of the service, so new users get patient help getting set up and learning the product.
How do we know how support is performing?
Clear, regular reporting is part of every engagement, and performance is reviewed with you as part of the Keep improving step.
