Acer Aims to Deepen Customer Connect with New, Feature Rich and Easy-to-use Mobile Service App

Bangalore, INDIA: Acer India, one of the largest PC vendors in the country, today announced the launch of its intuitive, feature rich customer service mobile app to offer quicker and more efficient customer service. With Acer inherently being a customer-centric company, the launch of its new customer service app is yet another initiative to empower customers with better control over their products and services with instant access to updates.

Announcing the launch of the mobile app, Mr. Chandrahas Panigrahi, Senior Director and Head - Consumer Business, Acer India, said, “The mobile app will enable Acer’s wide customer base to perform a range of operations with ease, offering them better control and visibility. This is in line with our strong customer-service philosophy and is yet another step towards enhancing the quality of our customers’ product and service experience.”

Currently available for Acer’s Android user base, the app enables customers to register and track products, raise service requests, track repairs, warranty and view repair history, amongst others.
