Freshdesk Benefits
- Transform your inbox into a collaborative platform. Agents can see a single panel with status updates so they can help each other address the problem. With more eyes, no email is left unaddressed.
- Freshdesk’s proactive agent-collision detection avoids two reps replying to the same customer and, worse, with different answers.
- The one thing that we cite about this software in our Freshdesk reviews is that you can create ticket labels and route them to the right staff for the right answers or resolution.
- Tickets are easy to customize in a way that makes sense to your business work flows.
- Automated processes fast track the process from dispatch tickets to resolution; tickets are also categorized, role assigned, and prioritized according to urgency.
- Track mentions of your brands across social networks and address a complaint quickly to prevent escalation or maximize opportunities to get more business.
- Your support agents get visibility in various social networks.
- Get intuitive suggestions from knowledge base to help your agents feed the correct answer.
- Help customers help themselves using your knowledge base portal, while offloading repetitive queries from your support team.
- Create a community of happy customers and brand ambassadors by encouraging them to share tips, share experiences, and even provide answers.
- Monitor customer-agent engagement and keep track of time to identify patterns, bottlenecks, or opportunities across your support infrastructure.
- Create independent helpdesk channels for your various brands using only one system.
- Freshdesk supports different languages and global locations.
- Get the big picture at once with dashboards or drill down to details.
