Publicly Committed SLA — Not a Brochure Promise

Service levels you can present to your CIO

Most repair vendors quote turnaround times verbally and forget them. We publish our SLA targets — response time, resolution time, escalation path, miss-SLA credits — in writing, on this page, for every priority tier. Your CIO gets a document. Your IT team gets accountability.

4-Tier SLA Matrix

Every row below is a published commitment, not an estimate. Response time = first engineer contact acknowledgement. Resolution time = device repaired, tested, and returned or on-site functional. All targets apply during business hours (Mon–Sat, 10 AM–8 PM IST) unless your AMC includes after-hours coverage.

Priority Tier Response Time Resolution Time Escalation Trigger Miss-SLA Credit
Critical Revenue / patient-care impacted 2 HoursEngineer dispatched or on call Same DayBy 8 PM IST, same business day L2 auto-escalates at 1 hrL3 at 3 hrs if unresolved 15-day AMC credit + written postmortem
High Senior staff / multi-device failure 4 HoursFirst contact or dispatch 24 HoursNext business day latest L2 at 2 hrsL3 at 6 hrs if unresolved 7-day AMC credit

After-hours Critical response (outside Mon–Sat 10 AM–8 PM): available for Platinum AMC tier; confirm in your contract addendum.

Priority Level Definitions

Ambiguous priority declarations cause delays. These definitions are what we use internally — and what you can use when raising a ticket — so there is no debate about which bucket a fault falls into.

Critical — 2-Hr Response / Same-Day

Device failure that stops the business

A Critical ticket is declared only when a specific device failure directly causes revenue loss, patient harm risk, payroll processing stoppage, or a situation where no workaround exists and work cannot continue on any other device.

  • Finance manager's laptop with payroll data fails — payroll run is today
  • Hospital doctor's nursing-station laptop stops mid-ward round — no spare issued
  • CEO/CXO device fails before a board presentation in under 3 hours
  • Primary server-management workstation at a data centre goes non-functional
  • BPO shift lead workstation failure causing 20+ agents offline simultaneously
High — 4-Hr Response / 24-Hr Resolution

Senior staff or multi-device failure with urgency

A High ticket applies when a director, VP, doctor, or equivalent senior role is unable to work — or when 3 or more devices in the same department fail within the same shift, reducing capacity materially even if the team can partially continue.

  • VP of Engineering's ThinkPad fails the morning before a client demo
  • 4 HP EliteBooks in the finance team stop booting on the same day
  • Head of operations' device fails during a crunch project
  • Conference-room projector fails 2 hours before a board presentation
Medium — 8-Hr Response / 2–3 Day Resolution

Standard employee device issue with a workaround

The most common classification. Device has a fault that impairs but does not stop work — the employee can continue using a backup device, another machine in the pool, or adapt workflow temporarily. Screen crack, keyboard fault, battery drain, slow performance.

  • Developer's personal laptop screen cracked — can work on external monitor
  • Battery draining in 2 hours instead of 6 — plugged in is workable
  • Single key on keyboard stuck — USB keyboard provided as interim
  • Comfortable conference-room projector malfunctioning — meeting can move
Standard — 24-Hr Response / 3–5 Day Resolution

Planned service, upgrades, and scheduled work

Routine maintenance, fleet-wide AMC inspections, RAM or SSD upgrades, OS reinstalls, preventive servicing, asset tagging, and bulk device pickups. These are scheduled in advance on the shared maintenance calendar with your account manager.

  • Quarterly preventive cleaning of 30-device fleet
  • RAM upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB on 10 engineering laptops
  • Annual AMC inspection and battery health report
  • OS reinstall and software reimage for 5 onboarding devices

4-Level Escalation Matrix

Every unresolved ticket escalates automatically — not by you chasing us. Here is the exact chain, with escalation timing baked in.

L1 — Field Engineer

First responder and repair technician

Your first contact on every ticket. Certified field engineer dispatched from our Secunderabad base. Handles diagnostics, common repairs (screen, battery, keyboard, SSD, OS), and documents the work log in your ticket. If resolution requires a part not on hand or a specialised repair, L1 immediately escalates — they do not delay.

Escalation trigger: Part unavailable, or repair not within L1 scope, or SLA breach imminent by 30 minutes
L2 — Senior Technical Lead

Specialist repair and cross-device coordination

Senior engineer with component-level, chip-level, and multi-brand expertise. Takes ownership when L1 cannot resolve: motherboard-level faults, data recovery, liquid damage, firmware issues, or when multiple devices fail simultaneously and L1 capacity is stretched. For Critical tickets, L2 is auto-assigned at the 1-hour mark, not on request.

Critical: auto-escalates at 1 hour · High: at 2 hours · Medium: at next business day
L3 — Account Manager

Named owner of your corporate relationship

Your dedicated account manager (Gold and Platinum tiers) or shared account lead (Silver tier). L3 carries authority to commit to loaner devices from our hot-spare pool, expedite parts sourcing, and communicate directly with your IT head or CIO. For Critical tickets, L3 is on the loop from ticket creation — not just at escalation.

Critical: informed at ticket creation · High: alerted at 4-hour mark · All tiers: reachable by direct mobile
L4 — Operations Director

Final authority on any unresolved Critical or High breach

Engaged only when a Critical or High ticket is at risk of breaching SLA after L2+L3 intervention, or when a client escalation requires executive-level commitment. The operations director is authorised to commit additional resources, arrange same-day part sourcing from alternate suppliers, and issue a formal written resolution commitment directly to your CIO or facility head.

Critical: if still open at 3 hours · High: if still open at 8 hours · On request for any tier

Uptime Commitment & Reporting Cadence

SLAs without reporting are just promises. Every AMC client receives structured data on our performance — so your IT head can walk into a review meeting with numbers, not opinions.

Monthly SLA Report

Delivered by the 5th of each month via email. Covers: total tickets by priority, response-time compliance per tier, resolution-time compliance, any SLA breaches with root cause, and credits issued. Gold and Platinum tiers receive this as a PDF.

Quarterly Review Call

Platinum-tier clients: a 30-minute call with your account manager and the operations director. Reviews trends, recurring device failure patterns, fleet health score, and recommends preventive actions for the next quarter. Meeting notes shared within 24 hours.

Real-Time Ticket Status

Every open ticket has a WhatsApp thread with your account manager where status updates are pushed when: engineer is dispatched, diagnosis complete, part ordered (if required), repair complete, device in transit back to you. No chasing needed.

Fleet Health Score

Included in your quarterly report for Gold and Platinum AMC: a per-device health assessment across the last 12 months showing failure frequency, repair history, and a risk-rated list of devices that are likely to require attention in the next 90 days.

AMC Renewal Reminder

60 days before your AMC contract expires, your account manager initiates the renewal conversation. No service gap, no coverage lapse. Renewal pricing is agreed before the old contract closes — continuity is our obligation.

GST-Compliant Invoicing

Monthly GST invoices with full HSN/SAC codes, issued within 3 business days of each billing cycle close. PO-referenced invoicing available. All invoice disputes resolved within 5 business days with a written line-item explanation.

Dedicated Account Manager — By AMC Tier

The account manager is the single throat to choke, the single point of praise, and the person who prevents 80% of escalations from ever becoming escalations. Here is which tier unlocks what level of ownership.

Feature Silver Gold Platinum
Dedicated named account manager
Direct mobile number (not ticketing queue)
Response to account manager within 4 business hours (shared team) 2 business hours 1 business hour
Monthly SLA compliance report
Quarterly strategy review call
L3 account manager on Critical ticket loop On request
Loaner device from hot-spare pool If available Reserved allocation

Minimum fleet size for Gold tier: 25 devices. Platinum tier: 100+ devices. Exact thresholds confirmed at proposal stage.

What Happens If We Miss SLA

Publishing SLA targets means accepting accountability when they are missed. Here is our exact commitment — not a vague "we will do better" clause, but a documented process with tangible outcomes for you.

AMC Credit Applied

A Critical or High SLA breach triggers a 15-day or 7-day AMC credit respectively, applied automatically to your next invoice. No form to fill, no argument to make. The breach is logged in the monthly report with the credit line item explicitly shown.

Written Postmortem

For every Critical breach and any High breach that exceeds 6 hours: a written postmortem delivered within 48 hours. Sections: what happened, why it happened, what we are changing. Signed off by the operations director and sent to your IT head.

Process Change Commitment

The postmortem is not the last step. Within 30 days of a Critical breach, we document the operational change made (parts stocking, engineer coverage, escalation rule) and confirm in writing that the root cause is addressed — or we schedule a review call if systemic.

Force Majeure Clause

SLA credits and postmortems do not apply to delays caused by factors genuinely outside operational control: city-wide transport disruption, declared natural disasters, or client-side access restrictions (e.g., security clearance not arranged for our engineer). If disputed, the operations director reviews within 24 hours and communicates a written finding.

SLA Performance in Practice

Two anonymised case studies from active AMC engagements. Numbers are as reported in the respective quarterly SLA reports.

Healthcare — Multi-Speciality Hospital Chain

280 devices, Critical-tier SLA, Hyderabad Cluster

A hospital group with 3 facilities across Hyderabad enrolled 280 laptops and workstations on a Platinum AMC. Their primary concern: nursing-station devices going non-functional mid-shift with no on-call support from their OEM. Within the first 6 months of the engagement, 14 Critical tickets were raised — 11 involving nursing station or doctor device failures during ward rounds.

Of 14 Critical tickets: 13 were resolved same-day. One required a component that took 2 additional hours — triggering an automatic postmortem and 15-day credit. The hospital's IT head confirmed: "Before LRW, the average wait for an OEM engineer was 3 to 5 days. We now run at less than 4 hours on a worst-case Critical."

IT Services Company — Madhapur / HITEC City

350 employee laptops, Gold-tier SLA, 18-month engagement

A Hyderabad-based IT services firm with 350 corporate laptops enrolled on Gold AMC. Their challenge: high-frequency Medium tickets (screen damage, battery degradation, keyboard faults) causing engineer-support backlogs every quarter-end when their teams were in delivery crunch.

We introduced a preventive batch-pickup model: every 90 days, 40 devices are proactively inspected, battery-assessed, and cleaned. This reduced reactive Medium tickets by 38% over 12 months. Monthly SLA compliance averaged 97.4% across all tiers. The company renewed at 18 months with a 15% fleet expansion.

SLA FAQ

Questions your IT Manager or Procurement team will need answered before signing — with direct answers, not marketing copy.

What is Laptop Repair World's Critical SLA response time?
Critical priority tickets receive a 2-hour response time target and a Same-Day resolution target. A Critical ticket is declared when a device failure directly halts revenue operations, payroll processing, patient care, or a situation where the affected person has no usable workaround device. Response = first engineer contact or dispatch confirmation, not arrival time.
What happens if you miss an SLA target?
Critical or High SLA breach: 15-day or 7-day AMC credit on the next invoice, automatically applied — you do not need to request it. A written postmortem is delivered within 48 hours for Critical breaches. Medium breaches: 7-day credit. The credit amount and breach details appear as a line item in the monthly SLA report.
Which AMC plan includes a dedicated account manager?
Gold and Platinum AMC tiers include a named dedicated account manager with a direct mobile number — not a ticketing queue. Silver-tier clients are handled by a shared account team with a defined escalation path to L3 lead. Minimum fleet size for Gold tier is 25 devices; Enterprise is 100+.
How is SLA reporting delivered to IT managers?
Business and Enterprise clients receive a monthly PDF SLA report delivered by the 5th of each month, covering: ticket volume by priority, response-time compliance, resolution-time compliance, any breaches with root cause, and credits issued. Enterprise clients additionally receive a quarterly strategy review call with the operations director.
Does the SLA apply to multi-location offices in Hyderabad?
Yes. SLA response and resolution targets apply across all 50+ Hyderabad zones — from HITEC City and Gachibowli to Uppal, Kompally, Alwal, and Ameerpet. All dispatch originates from our Secunderabad store on MG Road. Multi-site coordination is handled by your account manager. Travel time is factored into response calculations — engineer dispatch, not arrival, is when the clock stops for response SLA.
What qualifies as High priority vs Critical?
Critical: device failure stops revenue, patient care, or payroll — no workaround exists. High: a senior employee (VP/Director/Doctor) is unable to work, or 3+ devices in the same department fail simultaneously. Medium: standard employee device issue with a workaround available. Standard: planned maintenance, upgrades, or bulk services. All definitions are published in writing on this page — there is no subjective interpretation at the time of ticket raising.
How do I raise a Critical ticket outside business hours?
WhatsApp +91 7702503336 with the word CRITICAL in your first message, or call the same number. Platinum-tier AMC contracts include an after-hours Critical response number. Our standard business hours are Monday–Saturday 10 AM–8 PM. Critical response outside these hours is available for Platinum tier — confirm terms in your contract addendum before signing.
Is data security handled during SLA-backed repairs?
Yes. Every SLA repair follows our chain-of-custody protocol: device is logged with a unique ticket ID at pickup, every handover is documented, and engineers do not access user files during any repair. Tamper-evident packaging is used for device transit. NDA is available on request for all AMC tiers. A detailed breakdown of security protocols is on the /business/security/ page.

Your CIO needs a number. Here it is: 2 hours.

WhatsApp us your device count and industry — we send a tailored SLA proposal with actual terms within 48 hours. No sales deck. No vague commitments.
