"All your needs in one great program"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I love the way that you can tag tickets that come in easily and then search for them later by tag. I also really like the different folders/queues that you can assign tickets to. Another great feature is the ability to insert FAQ that saves time.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Currently, Helpshift does not support the ability to have tickets come in through SMS (or text). We have a lot of customers that like to receive support and help via text and it would be so nice to not have to use a different program but have it be available all on Helpshift.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem that we are solving is inefficiency. Helpshift allows customer service agents to be productive and saves time by being able to answer customer's questions and solve problems quickly. It is also easy to receive help from a co-worker by sharing the ticket with them, they can quickly view and read though the conversation. A benefit I have realized is the history that is stored when the same customer wrote in a different time, all that information is stored and can be accessed.

Speedier, more easy to understand reaction time truly makes customary email benefit feel ancient. With the expansion of bots, this truly feels like the fate of client benefit. I think our clients feel that path also. The quicker we can hit them up in a sorted out manner, the more we can persuade them that we merit their time. It spares us a great deal of time in taking care of more talks.

"Helpshift Makes My Job Easy"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I love that I am able to view past conversations with each Customer so that we can have a full understanding of their account and any issues they've run into. Live Chat is so easy to use, and we are able to contact customers directly through Helpshift to make sure they receive all contact needed to solve any kind of issue they may be having.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I wish I could organize "Shared Smart Views" into folder types. I also wish there was a way to organize issues by tags (similar to how we can change the order of Latest, Wait Time, Oldest, Etc) Live Chat is manageable, but sometimes our customers do not receive the messages right away or don't realize it's a chat experience. (This may be more our fault that Helpshift, though.) I would love to be able to customize the notification sounds in Helpshift.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Helpshift for all customer service inquiries, so it has been a critical part of our company. I love that our customers can receive the quickest service possible because of the amazing help of Helpshift. It is so helpful to know we have a reliable way to contact each customer that messages us with any kind of issue, and we will always be able to receive their messages.
