Our Winter 2019-2020 Release is now rolling out and it has an array of new features and integrations will put your data to work and help you unlock your business potential.

One is our latest feature, Chat Support, that puts help where you need it most – directly in the Paladin software. Instead of moving to a separate program to get to a support website, or placing a call to a technician, we give you answers with a couple of clicks of a mouse or keyboard.

To start a chat session with Paladin support, simply select the Help tab at the top of the screen, click on Chat Support in the drop-down menu, and type in a brief description of how we can help you. Chat Support offers you instant assistance and answers to simple questions and gives you an avenue to open a support case if the items require follow-up. Learn more.
