Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you understand the value of managed services for retail:
What are franchise managed services?
Managed services involve a third-party provider, like Mood Media, taking on the responsibility for technology, infrastructure, and operations across your network. This could include proactive monitoring, preventative maintenance, and help desk support for AV, digital signage, and POS. It’s a strategic partnership designed to enhance reliability and allow your team to focus on delivering an exceptional guest experience without the burden of technical management.
How can managed services help my franchise save money?
Managed services help franchises optimize their spend by reducing costs associated with in-house IT staff, unpredictable maintenance fees, and system downtime. We offer a cost-effective, all-inclusive model that provides predictable monthly costs, making it easier to budget. Our proactive monitoring and preventative maintenance also help extend the life of your systems and prevent costly failures before they occur.
What’s included in Mood Media’s franchise managed services program?
Our comprehensive managed services program is designed to ensure your technology runs smoothly 24/7. Key components include always-on proactive monitoring of screens and sound systems, preventative maintenance to ensure longevity, and dedicated support services. We can also offer a help desk for real-time assistance.
How do managed services prevent downtime?
Our managed services program is built on a proactive approach to prevent downtime. Our team actively monitors your store systems 24/7 to detect and resolve potential issues before they cause an outage. In the event of a hardware failure, our team reacts quickly to complete on-site repairs, minimizing any disruption to your business operations.
How do managed services differ from traditional IT support?
Traditional IT support is often reactive, meaning you only get help when something breaks. In contrast, our managed services are proactive and preventative. We continuously monitor and maintain your systems to prevent problems from happening, ensuring maximum uptime and efficiency. This approach means your franchise can benefit from greater reliability and less unexpected downtime.
