Complaints Handling Procedure

As part of our customer satisfaction obligations, Impressive Batteries Pty Ltd has a comprehensive complaints procedure. Our process involves all necessary members of the team, including directors, to ensure any issue is resolved as quickly as possible.

Our process

Upon receipt of a customer issue (written or verbal), we follow this procedure:

  1. 1 Record and verify the concern
  2. 2 Raise a support ticket in our CRM software
  3. 3 Assign a customer resolution manager
  4. 4 Consult the customer and other relevant parties
  5. 5 Communicate findings to the customer
  6. 6 Analyse findings and report results to the customer
  7. 7 Implement the required solution

Our commitments & timeframes

  • Maintain exceptional communication with the customer and keep appropriate records
  • Provide feedback on the outcome of the complaint to the customer within 10 business days
  • Where additional time (over 10 business days) is required, the customer will be informed of the need for more time to complete the investigation
  • Extended investigations are to be resolved within 25 business days of receipt of the complaint
  • Any complaint expected to take longer than 25 business days is referred to senior management for review and action
  • The ticket is closed when the issue is resolved and the customer is satisfied with the outcome
  • A customer satisfaction phone call is placed within 20 business days of support ticket closure

We try to resolve all complaints when they are raised. If we need to investigate further, our primary aim is to resolve the matter within 5 working days or provide you with an estimate of the time it will take. While a complaint is being investigated, we provide regular updates so you are kept informed.

Guide to resolution times

The time we spend investigating depends on the seriousness and complexity of the issue and the timeframes of relevant third parties. The following is a guide only.

Complaint Low High Average
High Grid Voltage 1 week 4 weeks 3 weeks
Component Failure 2 days 7 days 4 days
Installation Problem 2 days 7 days 4 days
High Electricity Bill 1 day 7 days 2 days
Monitoring Issue 2 days 7 days 3 days
Sales Process 1 day 4 days 2 days
Metering Issue 2 days 4 weeks 2 weeks

Other 1 day tba tba

Sometimes we may not be able to resolve a complaint within these timeframes. If that's the case, we'll contact you to explain the reason for the delay and give you a new timeframe. In any case, the aim is for the investigation to be completed within 25 business days of receipt. If you are not happy with how your complaint has been resolved, we will escalate it to the next level of management for review. We keep a record of your complaint and its outcome even after the ticket is closed.
