Prior to using Freshdesk, we only offered an email address for logging incidents with our Product Support team. We now offer a Ticket Portal, Self-Help, Email and a Phone Service to customers to allow them to work in their most convenient method, whilst still enabling the agent to track, update and monitor progress of the incident.

Yes, it has helped my business to increase customer satisfaction to a greater extent. Earlier when were not using it, things were haywire and mismanaged often leading to delays and customer dissatisfaction. Once we have employed Freshdesk, timely resolutions are done without long delays. Even within the team, the ticketing feature has proved to be very productive.

We really like the automation options in freshdesk. They allow us to do things like suggest certain support articles when people search for certain terms on the support site, and when people email us with support queries we can auto-reply with suggested solutions. It helps with the support and customers like the instant responses they get.

Freshdesk has helped us track and log customer satisfaction also, in many cases helped keep track of and made it easy to locate older conversation such that the context is not lost. Have not personally explored much into the AI functionality yet so not looking to comment on it.

Freshdesk has absolutely increased customer satisfaction and retention. Having a robust ticketing system is essential to success when working with clients. Freshdesk provides the frontline team with a lot of great tools to help clients more efficiently, and the main need of any client is to have their issue resolved as quickly as possible. On a management level, the Analytics that Freshdesk provides are great for coaching team members, and gaining higher level insight into strengths and weaknesses. We use Ticket Fields to categorize the type of issue/contact for every single client who reaches out to our team, which has helped us be more proactive with resolving overarching issues.
