The Challenge

Customers contact companies via email, chat, social media, phone, and SMS, but support teams work in fragmented tools. Context is lost when conversations switch channels. Traditional helpdesks are ticket-centric rather than customer-centric. Support teams lack visibility into customer journey and product usage data. Response times suffer due to manual routing and repetitive inquiries.
