    We chose to work with the Basecamp product and along with it came Highrise. They're a great 37 signals package together. So we chose to work with Highrise because of Basecamp

    If you need a customer communication tool that has almost all the functionality out of the box this program is for you. However now that other services have more AI capability we are changing to a new service that will reduce the workload on our agents and allow us to automate many customer interactions. The pricing of another service is also more varied based on usage and our current inflow is lower than before so our cost should drop with that decreased communication

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Easy batch upload of new contacts - if you gathered names and contact info for a bunch of people at an event or conference or what have you, put it in a spreadsheet and upload it for easy and efficient adding to the database.
    • Simple communication and outreach tracking - each user has an individualized dropbox email address; you can BCC:, CC:, or forward an email to or from a client or contact, and Highrise automatically associates and records that email with the contact in the database.
    • Task assignments - users can create and task assignments associated with specific contacts (ie - Send Suzy J. a gift box on Oct 1; Follow Marla K. and Billy Z. on Twitter & Facebook; Get an updated address from Nathan R.)
    • Tags - easily create lists of contacts who fit certain needs (I need a: food blogger, in TX, who has a Facebook page - we have "food blogger", "TX," and "Facebook" tags in our system) that is then exportable; also useful for knowing the important associations of a particular contact.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Im actually pretty happy with the system as it is. The best aspect of Highrise is that it is very easy to work with - no need to struggle with manuals and lengthy training.
    • Not really a problem I suppose but I pay for Highrise as part of a suite which includes other products - Basecamp, Backpack and Campfire. It would be nice to see more integration between these products.

    • Ever since we have had NICE Engage Platform we have had issues with the program auto refusing calls and texts for our agents which luckily just routes to the next agent but this is hurting their call metrics.
    • The cost is more expensive that some comparable options
    • Texting functionality is somewhat limited and seeing the text history is also lacking.

    Highrise is simple to use and is run by the same folks who build Basecamp and 37Signals. We wanted something that would do the essentials without the cumbersome bells and whistles. Salesforce is almost too complicated if you don't have a whole sales operation and analytics division. One day we will probably outgrow Highrise, but not yet.

    NICE Engage Platform has way more functionality than Simpletext and it allowed us to have calls and texts handled by one system rather than having to use two separate tools. NICE Engage Platform also allowed us to launch web chat functionality for those visiting our website. There was also no way with Simpletext to see what agent was responding to each text. It was a freeforall in the inbox. No integration into our CRM either.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Better customer service, I am able to look up client info in a more organized way
    • I feel that our efficiency has really increased. Highrise is a lot faster than our old program
    • Highrise keeps us very organized. but it would be helpful if there was a project management section we could implement

    • Documentation of our communication was much improved compared to our previous service
    • The ability to distinguish interactions between departments had a large impact on response times for customers.
    • We have 15,000 customers and were able to handle roughly 3,000 interactions per week with them as well as future customers.
