Great customer service!

I had a few questions and the founder promptly responded and resolved my issues. The service allowed me to easily back up everything I needed for an audit.

Highly Recommended for Long-Term Backup Solution

I am a Xero partner with a number of SME clients. As part of my recommendations Control-C is always top of the list for backing up Xero data. A fantastic company with a friendly and extremely helpful support team. I love that you can arrange a meeting with the Founder instead of waiting on a ticket. I have been a customer for well over 8 years and would like to use this opportunity to thank Campbell Green for his constant & kind support. Very much appreciated ~ thank you.

Back-up your data with ease!

This company truly excels in service and support! The Founder quickly responded to my questions and provided guidance on the one-time backup process. Control-C not only delivers an excellent service and product for backing up your Xero data, but they also stand by their offerings with outstanding support. I highly recommend them. My only wish is that they would expand their product and service offerings—sign me up; you have a customer for life! Thank you, Control-C!
