You can customise it to do what you want to do. Put in the work to learn the back and end and build your own guest journey. You are not limited like other competitors to how the guest flow goes, you build your own. Support are great in helping with this and always attentive

If you are facing issues of agents not being able to respond to queries, which is usually faced with our tools, Zoho SalesIQ is probably the best choice as the default notification is very loud and clear hence makes sure that no chat query is left unattended. The desktop application of Zoho SalesIQ for Windows, Linux, and MAC OS is a superb feature not offered by many other chat applications. The geographical locations of website visitors are sometimes not very accurate hence it is advised not to always rely on it and better reconfirm it from the lead.

Cons
Akia
  • Intergrate with PMS payment methods, not only offer their own
  • Look at how it can be used better to manage the daily operation
  • Communicate between staff members in a SLACK like manner

Zoho
  • Overall it's a very simple tool that doesn't offer a lot of complexity or expanded tools
  • Even though it's all in the Zoho family, it doesn't work seemlessly with CRM or other Zoho products
  • Not always the best at identifying similar users across different browsers, devices, etc

As great as AKAI is, its only issue is we cant take payments through our PMS - AKIA is reluctant to work with PMS payments as it wants to take payment itself. If this cant be navigated and other opportunities within our PMS appear that can do what AKAI does, it will force us to move in this direction

Once you get past the blanc canvas and begin to build, you learn its capability and become ingrossed. Easy, user friendly once you get your head around the set up

Initially its a blanc canvas, once we got our head around that your good. It does take a fair few onboarding sessions to really learn. With the blanc canvas approached AKAI need to remember new buyers will be overwhelmed by this possibly

Tawk to was nice but it was missing a lot of features that Zoho SalesIQ has. And a massively important advantage that SalesIQ had was that it integrated with other Zoho apps that we already used. The pricing of Zoho SalesIQ was also very attractive, we felt that it offered a great bang for our buck.

  • Huge saving in labour costs
  • As we are not so orientated to physical tasks to get the guest in, our team are more guest focused delivering better service and multi skill
  • Allows the guerst to check themselfs in, submit ID with face recognition and pay bond via all methods making it super efficinet for guest and the team

Zoho
  • We interact with about 50 visitors a month and it's great when we can see the full picture, to see and interact based on whether they are a new contact or a long-time customer.
  • Capturing new website visitors at the time that they have a question about your product is important.
  • Missing chats can be frustrating.
