Consistent Customer Service: the Support Ticketing System

What is a ticketing system?

Our ticketing system is used by our Customer Success team whenever you ask us for help. It acts as a shared inbox for all of our customers’ questions and concerns.

When you ask us for help your Customer Success Consultant (CSC) will automatically have access to important information about you, including when you last requested support, what the issue was, how it was resolved, and even how long you had to wait for a resolution.

The ticket system allows our support team to streamline customer communications in a single ticket, all within an organised workflow. This leads to quicker resolution and escalation of individual support requests.

Our support system allows for an issue tracking system which can be used to improve our Customer Success team as a whole. It gives visibility into the big picture. If a specific issue is constantly being raised by multiple customers, the support team can be made aware of the issue and take actions such as bug-tracking the problem to our product team or providing an efficient self-service solution on our help desk.

Live Chat

Giving you the attention you deserve.

We understand that you are very busy people and sometimes you just need quick access to a real person without picking up the phone. With our new Live Chat feature you can proactively engage with us – in real time and we can give you the answers you need immediately.

in real time and we can give you the answers you need immediately.

The Community Forum

A place for customer conversations.

Customers talk to each other about what works and what doesn’t. This could be on social media, online review sites and on feedback forums. Feedback is crucial to us understanding our customers needs and we need it to be in one place to make it easier for our product team to monitor, so we built the Community.

The Community Forum gives you the opportunity to suggest new features, network with other like minded professionals and vote for features you love. The community is monitored by our product team so if a feature request gets enough votes, they will work on building it into one of our product updates.
