Escalation Paths; Who to Contact and when

Understand escalation levels, communication channels, and when to raise an issue.

Updated this week

Overview

When something important requires attention, knowing who to contact ensures your request is handled quickly and by the right team.
This page explains the different escalation paths, the communication channels available, and when each option should be used.

Escalations should only be used when the urgency or impact is higher than normal, or when you believe your support request requires additional attention.


When to Escalate

You should escalate a support request when:

  • You believe the impact is critical for your business

  • You have not received updates within the expected timeframe

  • You need to increase visibility on an ongoing support case

  • You need to ensure quicker follow-up due to operational urgency

Before escalating, always make sure you have your support case number available.


1. By Phone (Immediate / Urgent Escalation)

For time-sensitive or urgent cases, you can escalate directly by phone.

Call the Arxus Service Desk:
πŸ“ž +32 3 450 67 90

Ask to increase the priority of your support case.
​

The Service Desk will review the situation and escalate internally to the proper engineer or team.

Use this method when:

  • The impact is blocking business operations

  • You need an immediate response

  • The situation cannot wait for written follow-up


2. Through Your Customer Success Manager (CSM)

Your CSM is your direct point of contact for escalations that need visibility, coordination, or business-level alignment. You can contact your CSM using the communication channels you normally use with them (email or phone).

Use this method when:

  • You need additional visibility on an ongoing case

  • You want to ensure alignment between teams

  • You want to validate expectations or timelines

  • The case is impactful but not an emergency requiring a phone escalation

For urgent situations, we recommend calling your CSM rather than emailing.


3. Via the Arxus Portal (Support Contacts Overview)

You can also initiate an escalation by referencing your Support Contacts directly in the Arxus Portal.

  1. Sign in to the Arxus Portal

  2. Look for the Arxus Support Team tile or section

  3. You will see all the relevant contacts for your account, including:

    • Service Desk

    • Leading Technical Contact

    • Sales Responsible

    • Customer Success Manager

    • Invoicing contact

This page helps you identify the right person depending on the nature of your escalation.

Use this method when:

  • You want clarity on who to contact

  • You need to find the correct technical or business contact

  • You prefer raising visibility through the portal instead of directly calling

Important Notes

  • Always include your support case number when escalating.

  • Escalations should be used when necessary, not for normal follow-ups.

  • If you escalate through multiple channels, communicate consistently to avoid confusion.

  • Arxus will always keep you informed as your case progresses.
