AvantGuard provides a number of account management tools through the My.AG portal for you to stay on top of your business. Below we highlight a few of the highly beneficial and unique tools you can take advantage of to help manage your accounts.
Being able to generate reports to keep track of your business is key. The AvantGuard Monitoring Platform gives you the ability to access all your account information from anywhere you have internet. From here, you can add permissions to others in your company, generate reports, get call recordings as well as manage your billing. The My.AG Portal is sort of a one-stop-shop for you when it comes to easy account management.
There are many reasons why customers cancel their service. Chief among them is selling their homes and relocating. AG’s MLS tool helps you retain your customers who move and provides the potential to gain new customers who move in.
With early notice about customers who are selling their homes, you have the opportunity to proactively contact them and retain their business. As an added benefit, it also provides a place for contact information on all your accounts. The best part, this tool is completely free for AG dealers.
Speaking of account management, we know that on the technician level, it can be stressful to manage and test accounts. The AG App is a great tool for technicians to manage accounts, put them on test, and view the history of each account all through one useful and intuitive app.
We are constantly updating and advancing the AG App. For example, we’ve recently added integration with Google Maps, so you can locate your accounts, and even quickly pull up accounts near your current location. You can also call specific accounts right from the app without having to copy and paste the phone number.
The icing on the account management cake is The Dealer Dashboard found in the My.AG portal. Here, you can really dive deep into your accounts to maximize your RMR. The Dealer Dashboard is filled with widgets that help make your accounts more efficient and can help you identify and work with accounts that may be lowering your RMR.
For instance, you can use the Accounts in Run Away widget to learn which accounts are constantly receiving false alarm notifications or calling into the central station too often. By identifying “problem” accounts, you can work to make your overall account base more efficient. And that’s just one of the many ways the Dealer Dashboard can help with your account management.
Utilizing these tools to help simplify the management of your accounts frees you up to focus more on other aspects of your business, while we focus on keeping your customers’ lives and property safe and secure.
