    JivoChat makes it really easy to communicate with customers. It is best for small and medium sales and customer support teams. The team members can even communicate between each other, so it has a use case outside of client facing communication. It has convenient (yet minimal) CRM features. It's a bit overkill for individual website owners, but definitely one of the best Chat Apps out there for teams.

    Cons
    Encircle Inc.
    • Sometimes it takes a long time to load the job at the site.
    • As long as the internet signal is strong the software works beautifully. You can work offline in those cases where the signal is not good or not there at all.

    • There is a negligible number of candidates at the same time so, this application must use a large number of applicants if possible.
    • The quality of the internet should be good enough for its accurate working.

    Because is a tool that we can easily use and the team learn to use in a little time. It's easy to implement for the team and the necessity of the organization. We only use one meeting to teach others the tools of JivoChat and how to install in their equipment.

    Return on Investment
    Encircle Inc.
    • Increase in Average Job Size
    • Major Increase in the QUALITY of our documentation
    • The technician say it takes longer to do the handwritten paperwork, but I would argue that they weren’t doing it the correct way before and if they were, it’s actually faster using Encircle.
