Platinum Partner Program Gold Seal Partner Program Time & Materials Plan
ATS Platinum Program is a full service maintenance contract with our clients.

ATS Gold Seal is a full service maintenance contract with our clients. It provides guaranteed response times, assurance of spare parts in stock locally, regular database backups, fixed pricing, unlimited Help Desk, reduced labor rates, equipment discounts and many other benefits. A Time & Materials Plan is a pay as you go plan but with NO assurance of a response time NOR assurance of spare parts availability. There may be no database backup and the repairs could cost thousands of dollars for the parts & labor plus greater lost productivity resulting from increased down time.
Spare repair parts are warehoused locally and reserved for Platinum/Gold Seal clients due to their commitment to the program, which results in far quicker repairs and less down time.
