Text Request vs. Zoho Desk

Text Request is appropriate for all kinds of scenarios! I really have NOT found a situation where Text Request was not suitable to use to try and reach a patient. We have used TR to contact a patient that we have received a referral from their Primary Doctor and we need to schedule an evaluation, we have used TR for insurance and Billing, we have used TR for contacting patients that missed a visit and to reschedule.

Zoho Desk is a great customer service tool. It is very easy to track the ability to receive tickets and send responses in Zoho Desk. There are lots of options for customization. The knowledge base feature is very extensive and powerful. It makes creating internal and external FAQs easy.

• I think so far the only improvement I could suggest would be to be able to "un-send" a text within like 30 secs in case you send something out incorrectly.
• Maybe adding more emojis
• When sending a file make the size of the pic they see bigger

• The biggest drawback that I am facing while using the platform is that their ticketing system is not that great [in my opinion]. It does not give us the option to add sales tax and other charges in the invoices which leads to a big problem for us.
• [I feel] its customer support needs improvement.

Text Request is very user friendly. I started using the Text Request platform on Day 1 without any specific instructions and I was able to figure it out very easily!

I give [Zoho Desk] [an] overall usability score of 9. This is partly due to the search functionality needs improvement. There are several times where I am left unable to find a ticket and have to generate a new one. I am hoping in the future that they will make some changes!

I have never used the support

As Zoho Support is based in a different timezone to ours it can be an issue that we cannot get an immediate response to an issue. But I will say that once their Support is in the office they are fairly good to respond. they have resolved almost all issues I have told them about, but Zoho have also made system changes and not communicated these beforehand which means we are faced with something new and cannot get support on this until their support team is in the office

I use Hatch for my service businesses because they integrate with our CRM tool and Text Request does not. I am NOT a fan - their support is not even half as good as TR but they fill a need that our company has. I like the technology, customer service and ease of use that Text Request gives to us - I just want them to integrate with my CRM! If so, I'd leave Hatch in a heartbeat!

We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.

• That is not something we see from an office standpoint. This is something that our Headquarters would keep track of.
• What I can say is that the amount of patients being scheduled after implementing TR has been in an upward trend.
• Also patients that missed their appointments are more likely to reschedule when being able to do so with just a text message

• Zoho Desk has created an organised sytem of support which alows me to help my customers more efficiently.
• By saving resolutions as articles, Zoho Desk has provided a training resource for current customers and support staff as part of solving problems.
• All new customers become part of a database of customers who continue to receive support and education from forums created by the articles and customer questions.
