Hiver
Any work environment where more than one team member is able to address certain customer requests. We used to use Groups, but then it was confusing as to whether or not someone responded, and we needed more transparency between team members. Another example is a person emailing with a billing question. We used to reply and add the billing department's email address or forward the email to billing, but with Hiver, simply assigning it to the billing HIVER Inbox allows anyone to reply directly to the customer without the issue of either the customer or team member remembering to reply all or accidentally replying only to the team member forwarding the email.

Great is you have multiple email accounts. Easy to go through emails. Too many updates on desktop and no calendar on the desktop

True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're already all accustomed to managing our own G-Suite inbox, so it was simply a matter of teaching the team how to utilize the solution.

Return on Investment
Hiver
  • The ROI on showing how many emails are being received and addressed in a timely manner are great for KPIs
  • the ability to search and ensure emails are not being deleted as an automatic report is sent out the following day saying if any emails were deleted by whom
  • the ability to automate who gets assigned what emails from specific vendors per entity
