Keep ophthalmic equipment operating to OEM specifications. Maximise functionality, uptime and customer experience

What can a field engineering service partnership do for you?

Work with us, and we’ll enhance your optometrist and ophthalmologist customers’ satisfaction by managing their expectations, building trust and making your ophthalmic equipment more profitable and efficient.

Increase ophthalmic equipment performance, uptime and lifespan

We’ll work with your customers to put into place good planned preventative maintenance habits to minimise the amount of time ophthalmic equipment is unavailable and ensure equipment is safe to use.

Optometrists and ophthalmic medical practitioners are busy people, so we know it’s important to respect their time.

Our customer helpdesk operators have access to your service level agreements. So you can be sure they’ll handle optometrists’ and ophthalmologists’ calls quickly and efficiently.

Respond to problems quickly

We’ll shape your optometrist and ophthalmologist customers’ expectations by asking the right questions. Then, listening attentively to concerns and being clear about the next steps and timeline.

Manage expectations when more complex repairs required

Veritek can despatch specialist ophthalmic equipment field engineers to minimise downtime and quickly return ophthalmic equipment to working condition.

Or, if needed, organise swap units, per your instructions.

Help you to see maintenance and repair trends

We’ll help you keep track of your optometrist and ophthalmologist customers’ expectations and experience by giving you the maintenance and repair data you need to identify trends and make informed pre-emptive decisions.
