We've gone through a few other A/V support organizations over the years. Our growth and needs have greatly changed. Prior A/V partners proved to be severely lacking in capability. It felt like playing whack a mole with snuffing out issue after issue rather than addressing the root cause of issues. Since working with AVI SPL, the number of issues we've faced have dropped immensely
OSV uses tickets/cases for communication, which makes it easy to open and monitor the status of transactions. They are great at net pay processing and filing taxes. If things are not moving along, you can reach out to your Tax Specialist or Customer Success Manager, and they can help escalate concerns. It sounds like they are rearranging their tax filing department so they can facilitate quicker resolutions, so I hope that benefits their customers. They are also interested in reaching out and making things right for the customer. Their Knowledge Center online could use a re-vamp. The search function is not useful at all, and I have a difficult time finding forms such as ACH Reversal form, or the Stop Payment form.
The desk mics are a game changer. They can be moved closer to the presenter so that there is never a missed word!
The camera quality is great! It's important to us to look professional to others outside of the company and this technology helps with that.
The quick response time on technical issues. Yes, there is always a wait time to have a tech come out. But it also goes to show they stay busy because they are in high demand! Every tech from the installation to software issues that have came to the office are very informative about the software and incredibly nice, which is appreciated more than you know.
[OneSource Virtual] offers an array of on-demand webinars
At the end of each quarter, [OneSource Virtual]'s tax and payroll team initiate a meeting with me to discuss the quarter's activities and hear any concerns I may have
I meet with my [OneSource Virtual] Success Manager once a year to touch base and discuss improvements to our services
We receive far too many emails from our cases. They send three just to start with.
Better knowledge of the tax deferrals due to Covid19.
A better reminder of when your contract will end. They spring it on you at the very last second and then you cannot look outside of OneSource Virtual because you need coverage.
Although we've done a lot of business with AVI-SPL, the last few projects have been very bumpy and project completion schedules have been missed by a few months, causing some disruption in our ability to use the spaces as planned. This factors into getting lot of complaints from the intended end users. AVI-SPL is still one of the few large A/V subcontractors in our region that is capable of doing a multi-million A/V installation project. With limited choice we tend to go back to them given their familiarity with our organization. UPDATE: Having completed the ACC Rio Grande Campus renovation, my opinions of AVI-SPL have improved. They finished the project strong with the support of new PM that did a great job of picking up where we left off and carrying the project through to 100% completion to the Owner's satisfaction.
They had us replace the PC three times stating that the PSU was not strong enough to power the USB bus. The last PC had a 1500w PSU. The USB devices kept not working because they had too many USB devices connected. We had to hire another company to come out and fix this mistake as well. They redesigned the solution to get the features that we requested from the beginning and something that would work correctly
They have a customer support portal, which can be helpful at times, but it is limited in what you can see or do. Their internal support platform is a very high-end system, but it appears that they have not implemented it well, so data to the customer portal side is incomplete. Reports are difficult to get from the internal system, and more often have to be built manually by the account team. They cannot provide me an inventory of what they have installed, nor an inventory by ticket of what has been RMA'd and replaced. Their data management is inconsistent. we struggle to get the correct ticket information sometimes.
Most of the time, we receive a response to a new ticket within a few hours. Occasionally, a ticket with the payroll tax team would fall through the cracks and take several days before it was acknowledged. This issue has gotten better since we had a meeting and discussed the expectations.
AVI-SPL is a professional integrator in the Audio Video industry. They have always been the top choice in my book! The people that work for the company will be friendly and knowledgeable. The AVI-SPL employees that come to work on your project are professional and respectful of the environment they are working in
The level of support and flexibility of OneSource Virtual is far superior to my experience with ADP. They are readily available to assist with troubleshooting as well as day-to-day needs. ADP was difficult to get in touch with and had a box product that required our business to conform to instead of being able to flex to meet business needs. OneSource Virtual has a deeper platform than Paychex, however, the level of customer support is equal.
We have seen a reduction in ticket volume in spaces recently updated by AVI-SPL.
While hard to quantify, AVI-SPL's multi-vendor support affords us peace of mind; we know that they can assist us with issues, regardless of the failure point.
Internal subjective feedback shows a positive view of the spaces AVI-SPL has integrated for us.
Leveraging OneSource Virtual's garnishment processing services reduced overheard and allowed me to repurpose a position I had in my department just for processing garnishments.
Not having to push tax files to the vendor is a huge time savings as well-we would spend all day producing files to push over to our previous vendor.
Ease of processing our Canadian payroll-we are done with payroll in 1 hour.
