Overall Responsibility:

The Technical Support Executive - L1 is responsible for providing exceptional support to Afritrack customers across all official communication channels. This role ensures timely resolution of customer issues, proactive engagement, and continuous service improvement while maintaining high standards of professionalism and customer satisfaction.

Detailed Responsibilities:

1) Customer Communication & Engagement:

• Engage with customers on all official communication channels, including email, Crisp, WhatsApp groups, and phone.

• Proactively take ownership of unassigned queries, engage with customers to understand their issues, and offer assistance.

• Ensure all customer communications are professional, polite, and adhere to communication etiquette standards.

• Act as the primary support contact for assigned customers, ensuring all their needs are met as per contractual agreements.

2) Issue Resolution & Ticket Management:

• Open, document, and manage trouble tickets, service tickets, and training tickets with high accuracy and detail.

• Strive for first-call resolution by troubleshooting customer issues (including fuel queries) systematically using tools such as Wialon, Flespi, TrackRRM, TrackSPM, POD portal, and KORE portal.

• Acknowledge and provide timely feedback to customers per SOPs and SLAs.

• Escalate unresolved issues to the appropriate department with detailed documentation to minimize resolution time. Escalation can be to a Level 2 executive (in case you are unable to resolve online or where you need additional assistance). In this case you are encouraged (but not required) to gain insight and skills on how that issue was eventually resolved. You can also escalate the issue to or to the Technical Operations team (where you have deemed a physical visit is needed) for onsite visit. In this case, you do not have to check for asset availability.

• The guidelines for escalating to a Level 2 executive are as follows:

  • Regular Tracking Device:

    1. Where you feel that a physical visit is not required and yet the tracker is behaving in ways that need deeper investigation and may pertain to device configuration, Wialon configuration or more troubleshooting. For example; the device is reporting, but the points are too frequent or too far apart, hence giving wrong distance measurements.

    2. Where you are generally not sure if it needs a physical visit and would like to have another professional opinion before incurring costs of a visit.

  • Cameras:

    1. Where you feel that a physical visit is not required and yet the camera is behaving in ways that need deeper investigation and may pertain to camera configuration, Ceiba configuration or more troubleshooting. For example; the camera fails to detect a certain incident though it is recorded.

    2. Where you are generally not sure if it needs a physical visit and would like to have another professional opinion before incurring costs of a visit.

  • Fuel:

    1. Where you feel that a physical visit is not required and yet the fuel probe is behaving in ways that need deeper investigation and may pertain to Wialon configuration (such as filters), rechecking against installation calibration tables or more troubleshooting. For example; the fuel level is gradual, yet a theft alert was triggered, or the fuel level falls dramatically and an alert was not generated.

    2. Where you are generally not sure if it needs a physical visit and would like to have another professional opinion before incurring costs of a visit.

    3. Level 1) are expected to assist is on generally checking the fuel graphs to determine if it seems to be reporting consistently, cross check a queries theft and determine if it is probably genuine or false alert. If genuine, you can check on the location to add weight to the theory. For example, if it is by the road side near many other trucks, then it's possibly a site for siphoning of fuel.

  • Please note that all above are merely guidelines and examples are highlighted to give context. It is not a clear and hard line where you must escalate the issue. Indeed, if you are able to take the issue further and resolve without the need for escalation, then that is preferred and applauded.

• Track and manage all customer service issues using the TrackMIS system, ensuring comprehensive updates with evidence.

3) Technical Support & Training:

• Provide basic training to customers on simple tasks (on the tracking portal or various apps) that do not require an extended period of time. Where the subject is more complex or more time consuming, you can escalate that to a L2 executive. You are not expected to offer onsite training to customers, however, you are encouraged to explore that experience as a learning and growth initiative.

• Ensure customers are adequately trained and aware of all system functionalities, reports, and alerts for maximum service utilization.

• Prepare manuals and guides to empower both customers and team members.

4) Reporting & General Responsibilities:

• Prepare and maintain relevant reports related to customer support and technical functions.

• Provide proactive insights to management on customer impact and potential service issues.
