"Helpshift an incredible support system."
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshfit has provided us with complete information about the interactions our customers make and details the best way to solve a problem effectively and optimizes the management of daily requests made by our customers.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Since this platform is highly valued and used by large corporations, its packages and plans are expensive, especially if a plan is required where technical service is required, which is necessary because its use is complicated to apply it to a company.

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

Not only complaints are important to us, so are the comments and encouragement that customers can give us, for which we care to offer them a mutual interaction where they are grateful and we know that what we are doing has good results that It is an indicator that many companies want to have about the conformity in which our services and products are received.

"Powerful automation system and different from many systems (experience)."
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Very powerful software, with frustration-free and optimal automation and messaging features. We provide effective results from the first response to the resolution of a problem, this process is carried out in its entirety from one channel to another so that your customers never have to repeat themselves or start over, using tools such as digital channels, telephone support, self-service and bots, which we integrate into our messaging conduit. The entire customer conversation platform is focused on allowing potential consumers to communicate through this medium and take the most efficient path to resolution through the aforementioned tools.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

It has a mobile access interface, with which we can allow the team to attend to the concerns of clients inside and outside the company, but it is not as effective as the desktop access application, since it is limited with functions that are useful and interesting; It is not an aspect that affects us to a large extent since we very seldom choose these routes, we always try to manage the service process within the company and during working hours.

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

We dramatically improved CSAT by working in conjunction with bots. We value clients' time, keeping in mind that it is the most important factor. We can eliminate the annoying interaction in a single determined moment, if not that all consumers can respond in their managing their time to their benefit, since they can receive notifications when there is a message waiting and resume the conversation where they left it at the time that want. We solve problems more efficiently, increasing prospect satisfaction in the process. We have predesigned responses, fully capable of solving common problems and expediting requests.

"Helpshift makes the work easier"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

The thing I like the most is the clear interface - compared to the other tools, it's easy to get accustomed to, even for the ones who just started working on Helpshift. I haven't had a feeling of "getting lost" since features were easy to find :) Moreover, the tag and queue system helps a lot, now I wouldn't even imagine working without it.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Sometimes I feel that the bot needs to be more precise, as it often sends answers that are not related at all to the customer's question. I've also recently noticed that some issues become "lost" in the queues - for example, they were unassigned for about 26 days after the bot forwarded it to our agents. Otherwise, I don't have any other objections.

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

My problem solving varies from the standard stuff like account recovery, payments, to just answering customers' questions. Due to Custom Issue Field, my work has become faster since I can easily check the Player ID without asking the customer for it. Furthermore, I can also check if their phone's specs meet the minimum requirements. CSAT system helps greatly as well with monitoring my work and thanks to filtres I can find everything rather quickly. Compared to my experience with another tool (which I, of course, won't name :) ) Helpshift is more fitted to my field of work.
