General questions about the Philips Customer Services Portal
- What is the Philips Customer Services Portal?
-
Proper management of service activities across your various imaging systems and software is critical, yet challenging. Philips Customer Services Portal makes life easier by giving you one place from which to manage your assets.
Always there, always on
Available 24/7, regardless of where you are located, the Customer Services Portal helps you to see which of your organization’s assets are up and running – or to order service for those that are not.
The Customer Services Portal enables better decisions for your medical equipment and related services, and enhances your operational performance by streamlining workflow. It’s always there, always on.Understanding your needs, designed for you
To truly understand your needs and provide the best response, we sought your advice. Based upon your feedback, each subsequent Customer Services Portal release will present new opportunities for even greater control over system uptime and productivity via online coordination.
- The Customer Services Portal structure
-
Since your Healthcare facility can consist of multiple locations, departments etc., Philips Healthcare creates Accounts in its Event Management System to group the assets (medical devices).
To make sure all dedicated accounts are visible in the Customer Services Portal for our customer we have created a Parent account to which these related accounts are assigned.
If an asset, service case or service contract is not visible or information is not accurate displayed in the Customer Services Portal, please contact your local Philips Customer Services Portal contact.
- Types of user accounts
-
There are two roles defined in Customer Services Portal:
• Customer Portal User (CPU): a user that has access to the Customer Services Portal. The CPU can see the accounts of the Customer Services Portal Parent account that are assigned to this account.
• Customer Portal Manager (CPM): this user has the same functionality as a CPU, in addition the CPM is also able to handle user management for this parent account: create new CPUs, change account assignment and disable accounts.
