A little help from my friends

The Ascend support line will be closed briefly Friday morning, but there are a lot of great resources available to help out while we’re away! From videos to articles to conversations with other retailers, we’ve got a resource type for everyone.

Limited support: The support line will be closed from 9:00am to 10:15am CST on Friday, July 20th for an all staff meeting. Have a question while we’re gone? Submit a support ticket here or email us at help@ascendrms.com.
