TelcoBridges Support Time Tracking Tool


Every month, TelcoBridges partners receive a report showing the balance of their Support Bank hours. A negative value means that the account is in deficit. In such a case, we invite our Partners to promptly contact a sales representative to acquire new TB support hour banks.


To consult their TB Support activities, our partners can access TelcoBridges TB Support Time tracking tool:

https://timetracking.telcobridges.com


Login

The login/password is the same as that used for license server access. For partners who do not have a login for the above site, please contact TelcoBridges TB Support.
