Additional Tech Options

We can help on issues beyond your Support option on a chargeable basis

Our Technical Director Scott Harrington and our Solutions Engineer Gavin Calder have been with HardSoft for over 25 years and they lead a very capable, friendly team of trained engineers. Every day, they tackle nearly one hundred support calls and have an average response time well below our target of one hour. Our inclusive warranty with all Devices is very extensive and comprehensive BUT there are situations where we can help on technical issues you just can’t get resolved elsewhere. Therefore, on a Chargeable basis, we can help.

HardSoft has been established for over 35 years and has a team of both internal and field engineers, and offers enhanced warranty options. All engineers are trained on all machines.
