    Formula Support

    Formula Support is provided for prewritten Formulas, using Salsify’s Formula language, that are not working as expected. A “prewritten” Formula is one that the Customer has attempted to develop within the Salsify Formula Builder for their specific use case. Salsify Support does not include providing or writing net new Formulas.

    The Formula complexity score that Support can assist with is based on Customer’s Support tier. Once a Support Case is submitted through the Salsify PXM Customer Portal, a member of the Salsify Support team will evaluate the complexity value with Salsify’s Formula Complexity script. This will produce a Complexity Score, which Support will evaluate to determine the next steps to address your Formula issue.

    Formulas not covered by Support because the Formula complexity score exceeds the Support Tier limit, or any new Formula needs will be forwarded to our internal team to assist you with the best potential solution (additional fees may apply).

    Qualified Support Users

    Qualified Support Users are authorized Users who are entitled to submit a Case.  Entitlement quantity is determined by Customer’s Support tier.

    Qualified Support Users are a Configuration Entitlement.

    Technical Account Manager (TAM)

    A Salsify Technical Account Manager (TAM) provides Customer with:

    • A deep technical understanding of the Salsify product and Customer’s specific build

    • Case Management, ensuring that resolutions are progressing, and escalating issues if necessary

    • Proactive support by assisting with strategic projects, along with day-to-day support, and consistent feedback via health checks and recommendations

    • Premium Plus Services coordination

    Custom Readiness Report

    A Custom Readiness Report helps Customer assess the completeness and suitability of product data for distribution, through export channels beyond Salsify’s standard retailer connections and partnerships. For Retailer customers, Custom Readiness Reports are for internal use only.

    Custom Readiness Reports are configured by Salsify upon Customer request and are built based on specific templates and information provided by Customer.

    Custom Readiness Report requests are a Yearly Entitlement. Customer may license additional entitlement quantities separately.

    Self-Service Custom Readiness Reports, or update requests to existing Reports, will not count against the Entitlement quantity.

    Prioritized Custom Readiness Report

    Allows Customer to prioritize a Custom Readiness Report request for expedited completion.

    Prioritized Custom Readiness Report requests are a Yearly Entitlement.

    Prioritized Custom Readiness Reports count towards the Custom Readiness Report entitlement.

Premium Plus Services are limited to one Service per month and the same Service offering cannot be selected in consecutive months or more than once per calendar quarter. Premium Plus Services may be selected from among the below Services offerings list:

Any Connector (e.g., Kwikee, Brandbank) and Dolphin Parses are excluded.

    • Health Check - An Implementation Consultant will investigate Customer’s Data Model and Channels to provide a high-level assessment of the health of Customer’s organization’s structure and the level of utilization of various Salsify functionalities. Customer will receive a detailed write-up of opportunities for expansion, efficiency levers, and reconfiguration, as well as a follow-up call. Limits include that the Health Check is only an assessment, and not hands-on work, and that this will be limited to available hours, and will not cover all aspects of Customer’s organization. Custom Integrations, and upstream systems are excluded.

    Customer’s TAM will be the primary point of contact to identify Services offerings needed and coordinate schedules for delivery of the monthly Services. Assignments will be made each month based on the Service Offering, and the TAM will sync with Customer’s schedule for the week the Service is assigned. After the Service is delivered, the TAM will circle back with feedback on Service delivery.
