XMPie Product
Support & Maintenance
As an approved XMPie reseller, Gexin will provide Tier 1 level support to XMPie customers who have a current maintenance and support agreement with us*. How does dealing with Gexin assist you? We know how critical “uptime” is when it comes to managing a storefront. Given our experience and competency, we are very confident that we will resolve most issues without having to escalate the support call to XMPie.
In the event of an escalation, our thorough understanding of XMPie will ensure that the root cause of an issue is transparent so that the XMPie developers can immediately commence working on a solution.

Project Management
There’s an old saying ‘You can’t learn to ride a bicycle at a seminar’.
Depending on your current bandwidth and skillset you may want to consider utilising Gexin to manage specific projects on your behalf.
Unlike other fields, you can’t find your way to success by making mistakes; the risks are just too high.
