Convenient Customer Support Platform!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Gorgias as a platform to answer all incoming and outbound emails for our customers. We receive emails from our customers, we have macros to use, and we can also personalize our responses. We can also create a ticket and send an outbound email to our customers, which is very convenient.

Pros

  • Receive emails from customers.
  • Create a ticket based on a specific concern.
  • Send our responses to our customers.

Cons

  • Maybe in sending our response, it would be nice if the undo button was longer than 5 seconds.
  • Alt + enter should be disabled as we could accidentally press this, and the emails are automatically sent.

Return on Investment

  • One-stop shop.

Gorgias in more than one way.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Gorgias as our help desk solution for our direct to consumer side of the business, and growing to also use it with our wholesale division for mom & pop style businesses. It integrates well with Shopify, and we've used this to speed up response time and make it so that our support team does not have to "leave" the help desk in order to address many problems, boosting productivity dramatically!

Pros

  • It syncs data from Shopify quickly and easily, while displaying it neatly on the side of the ticket when needed.
  • A lot of customization for tags and ticket fields for labeling tickets.
  • The ability to create rules and flows to streamline the triage process.

Cons

  • Rules are powerful, but clunky, showing them to others can put them off as it looks "easy to break" because of their messy nature.
  • Pricing seems to be increasing due to the inclusion of more advanced AI that currently does not provide value.
  • Macros could really use contextual support, or a hotkey system to make it easier to pick highly used ones that aren't in the top 3.

Return on Investment

  • Drastically reduced our response time from 2 business days, to 2 hours on average.
  • Made it easier to sync data for damaged item, allowing us to better understand damages.
  • Allowed us to easily see that statistics of what kind of issues we are seeing from our customers.

Great for e-commerce!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The company I worked for was an e-commerce brand that set up websites for large companies such as magazines, influencers, athletes, etc. We would use Gorgias for all of the email integrations we had over 40 stores and email addresses that Gorgias was able to handle capably. The ticket volume we experienced was over one thousand on a given day.

Pros

  • Tagging- the tagging system was a great way to stay organized.
  • Rules- when you have 49 inboxes implementing rules on when to fire a macro or auto tag is necessary and Gorgias’ UI was easy to understand and execute.
  • Integrations- I had to integrate with dozens of inboxes many times using aliases and most of the time Gorgias was able to help.

Cons

  • With that said, sometimes integrations would not work and we would have to create a Gmail alias.
  • Their response time was not that quick to errors.
  • They did not integrate with platforms such as whiplash or ship station which would have been very useful.

Most Important Features

  • Tagging
  • Shopify integration
  • 3pl integration
  • Emailing

Return on Investment

  • Scales for 25 inboxes to 40
  • Handled over 1000 tickets a day quickly with Shopify information easily available.
  • Quantified reports for our business partners based on tagging features.
