At Fluid AV, we understand that the successful implementation of audiovisual (AV) technology goes beyond installation; ongoing support and maintenance are critical to ensure systems operate smoothly and efficiently. Whether it’s resolving technical issues, providing training, or offering proactive maintenance, Fluid AV is committed to offering comprehensive support services that keep your AV systems running at peak performance. 

Here’s how Fluid AV handles support to ensure your AV systems remain reliable and effective: 

1. Tailored Support Plans 

Fluid AV recognises that every business is unique, and as such, we offer tailored support plans designed to meet the specific needs of your organisation. From small businesses to large corporations, our support services are flexible and adaptable, ensuring that every client receives the level of service required to maintain seamless operations. 

Key Features of Our Support Plans Include: 

• 24/7 Remote Support: Access to remote support services at any time to resolve issues quickly and minimise downtime. 

• On-Site Assistance: For more complex issues that require hands-on intervention, our skilled technicians are available for on-site visits. 

• Preventative Maintenance: Regular system checks and maintenance visits to identify potential issues before they become problems, ensuring the longevity of your AV systems. 

• Flexible Service Levels: Choose from different service levels, from basic troubleshooting to comprehensive support packages that include regular maintenance and training. 

2. 24/7 Remote Support 

Technology issues can arise at any time, often when least expected. That’s why Fluid AV provides 24/7 remote support to ensure that your AV systems are always operational, even outside regular business hours. Our remote support team can access your systems securely to diagnose and resolve issues without the need for an on-site visit, reducing downtime and ensuring business continuity. 

Common remote support services include: 

• Software Troubleshooting: Identifying and resolving software-related issues in video conferencing systems, digital signage, and control interfaces. 

• Network Diagnostics: Ensuring that networked AV systems, such as Microsoft Teams Rooms, are connected and functioning correctly. 

• System Reboot and Reset: Restarting or resetting AV equipment to resolve issues remotely without disrupting ongoing operations. 

Remote support is especially valuable for businesses with multiple sites or remote locations, as it allows us to provide fast, efficient service without the need for travel or extended delays. 

3. On-Site Assistance 

While many issues can be resolved remotely, there are times when on-site assistance is necessary. Fluid AV’s expert technicians are available to visit your premises for hands-on troubleshooting, repairs, and maintenance. We understand the importance of minimising disruptions to your operations, so we aim to respond to on-site support requests as quickly as possible. 

On-site assistance is ideal for addressing more complex technical issues such as: 

• Hardware Malfunctions: Diagnosing and repairing physical components such as projectors, microphones, and displays. 

• System Reconfiguration: Reconfiguring or upgrading AV systems to accommodate new requirements or changes in the room layout. 

• Equipment Calibration: Ensuring that all AV equipment is properly calibrated for optimal performance, including adjusting camera angles, speaker placement, and display settings. 

4. Preventative Maintenance 

Preventative maintenance is a key component of Fluid AV’s support services. Regular maintenance helps to prevent costly breakdowns and ensures that your AV systems continue to operate efficiently over the long term. Fluid AV offers scheduled maintenance visits to inspect, clean, and service your equipment, ensuring that potential issues are identified and addressed early. 

Preventative maintenance services include: 

• Cleaning and Inspection: Regular cleaning of projectors, displays, cameras, and microphones to prevent dust build-up and ensure optimal performance. 

• Firmware and Software Updates: Installing the latest firmware and software updates to improve functionality, fix bugs, and enhance security. 

• System Health Checks: Comprehensive checks of all AV equipment, cables, and connections to ensure they are functioning properly and efficiently. 

• Performance Optimisation: Re-calibrating audio and video systems to maintain the highest quality sound and visuals. 

By investing in preventative maintenance, businesses can avoid unexpected outages and costly repairs, ensuring their AV systems are always ready for use. 

5. Comprehensive Training and User Support 

A key part of ensuring that AV systems run smoothly is making sure that users are comfortable and confident in operating the equipment. Fluid AV provides comprehensive training for your team, helping them to understand how to use all aspects of the system, from basic functions to more advanced features. 

Our training services cover: 

• System Overview: A detailed introduction to the AV system, including how to control video conferencing equipment, displays, and room control panels. 

• Hands-On Training: Practical, interactive training sessions that allow users to familiarise themselves with the system. 

• Advanced Features: Demonstrations of more advanced functionalities, such as content sharing, wireless presentations, and integrating third-party applications. 

• Ongoing User Support: Fluid AV remains available for any follow-up questions or additional training needs, ensuring that users continue to get the most out of their AV systems. 

By providing in-depth training, we help your employees feel confident in using the technology, reducing the need for frequent support requests and maximising the efficiency of your meetings and presentations. 

6. System Upgrades and Scalability 

As technology advances and your business grows, your AV needs may evolve. Fluid AV offers ongoing support to help you upgrade and scale your systems as needed, ensuring that your AV technology continues to meet your business requirements. 

Our upgrade services include: 

• System Assessments: Evaluating the current AV system and identifying areas where upgrades or enhancements may be needed. 

• Scalable Solutions: Recommending and implementing scalable systems that can grow with your business, such as expanding meeting rooms or upgrading to higher-quality displays and cameras. 

• New Feature Integration: Integrating new features, such as AI-powered cameras or advanced control systems, into your existing setup. 

Fluid AV’s commitment to scalability ensures that your business can continue to benefit from the latest technology, without the need for a complete system overhaul. 

7. Proactive Monitoring 

Fluid AV offers proactive monitoring services for clients who want peace of mind that their AV systems are running smoothly at all times. Our monitoring tools provide real-time insights into the performance of your AV equipment, allowing us to detect and address issues before they become noticeable to users. 

Proactive monitoring includes: 

• System Alerts: Automatic alerts that notify our support team of any performance issues, such as connectivity problems or equipment failures. 

• Remote Diagnostics: Using monitoring data to remotely diagnose and resolve issues before they impact operations. 

• Performance Reports: Providing regular reports on system performance, highlighting any areas that may require attention or future upgrades. 

By using proactive monitoring, businesses can reduce downtime, prevent disruptions, and ensure that their AV systems remain reliable and efficient. 

8. Long-Term Partnership Approach 

At Fluid AV, we view support as an ongoing partnership rather than a one-time service. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our clients, ensuring that their AV systems continue to meet their evolving needs. Whether it’s through regular maintenance, software updates, or responding to urgent support requests, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of service and support. 

Our approach to support includes: 

• Regular Check-Ins: Periodic reviews of your AV system to ensure it’s still aligned with your business goals. 

• Technology Consultation: Offering advice and guidance on emerging AV technologies and how they can benefit your organisation. 

• Customised Support Packages: Developing support packages that match the unique needs and budgets of your business.
