Overview Presentation

Proprofs Help Desk is a cloud-based ticketing system and customer service software. It is a tool that can help businesses keep their customers happy and satisfied to get repeat orders, and gain their loyalty. When customers request for support, it is important to take their case and resolve the issue as soon as possible. Support teams need modern systems that can help them organize requests, collaborate among themselves, build self-help content, communicate with customers, and more, to keep customers delighted.

Features, Benefits, Strengths

  • Shared Inboxes in one place – Proprofs Help Desk enables support agents to have all customer-facing inboxes in one place. These shared inboxes are able to capture all types of customer requests, and provide agents the ability to send timely response to each one of them. All customer requests in shared inboxes also allow agents to collaborate on tickets for faster resolution. It is easier to check ticket and customer history, and assign, prioritize and manage tickets. Agents can use labels to organize, as well as auto- or canned response to acknowledge the receipt of tickets. It is also customizable, so users can set priorities to match SLAs, set ticket overdue alert time, and create surveys for customer feedback.
  • Performance Tracking for Agents, Live Chat for Customers – The help desk software allows customers to rate agents in different ways and occasions. Users can then generate reports to track different metrics, on individuals or groups. Reports can show if, over time, there is increasing overdue tickets or decreasing performance rating, so proper training can be given to support staff. The Live Chat tool is included in Help Desk, enabling agents to provide instant support to customers. They can quickly answer questions using their desktop or mobile device. Customers and chat history are remembered, allowing agents to provide personalized support. The chat tool can be easily added to web pages.
  • Self-help Knowledge Base and Training Maker – Proprofs Help Desk enables businesses and their support agents to proactively give support through a knowledge base. Customers are able to search frequently asked questions, so agents can avoid answering the same questions. This can reduce ticket volume by as much as 80 percent. Moreover, a Knowledge Base is always accessible to customers, regardless of location or time zone. The software also includes a Training Maker that gives users the tools to build training courses not only to customers, but to agents as well. They can create branded online courses with documents and videos. It can keep track of who takes the courses, and assess knowledge gaps with quizzes.
