"Experiencia Helpshift "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

La forma rápida y dinámica que tenemos para interactuar con nuestros usuarios, nos permite dar soluciones en tiempo real , brindando una mejor experiencia al cliente con nuestra atención de primera línea . Hemos descubierto que con esta plataforma de atención optimizamos nuestros indicadores de productividad y logramos controlar el desborde de atenciones no efectuadas por cantidades de clientes . Otros de los aspectos que es un plus+ en nuestras atenciones es la facilidad de poder enviar documentos y así mismo recibir archivos adjuntos , esto nos facilita poder determinar que problemas o que consulta esta haciendo el cliente. Su facilidad de uso nos ha ahorrado importantes recursos como el tiempo, lo que nos permite capacitar a nuevos empleados sobre cómo usar Helpshift fácilmente en cuestión de horas en comparación con días o semanas; que es el caso con la mayoría de los otros programas que usamos. Muy importante también, me encanta la calidad de la asistencia ofrecida a mi equipo por el servicio de atención al cliente de Helpshift.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Hemos podido experimentar que al realizar un cambio de horario en nuestros usuarios de atención , no se cumple el ciclo de atención de chat , por lo tanto nos ha llevado a crear diferentes horarios para cada usuario.No muy bueno en plataformas móviles, su interfaz de usuario y parte del diseño de la experiencia del usuario pueden tener algunos, por ejemplo, algunos fallos interesantes. Sin embargo, ninguno de estos problemas afecta la seguridad.

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

Simplifica el tiempo de nuestras atenciones de cara a nuestros usuarios, respuestas y soluciones rápidas.

"Easy to use and customisable"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

It's very easy to use and quite intuitive. There are many customisation options that have helped me become more efficient. Bulk actions and the ability to setup search shortcuts have made my life so much easier!

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Sometimes I wish there was a mobile app or for the platform to be mobile friendly, but that can also be a good thing. My company likes that we don't have a mobile app because it mens there's less chance that we'll work too much. Yes, I work for a brilliant company!

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

I solve tech issues with our games. It's so easy to use and so customisable that it has allowed me to streamline my work and be more efficient

"Clear, direct, and easy communication with the end user"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift has been a tremendously useful SDK tool we've implemented in our mobile apps. The ability to add FAQs, tag issues, and automate replies has been very beneficial.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

We need better spam filtering options in Helpshift as we've received mass waves of spam that is sent directly to our inboxes as notifications which isn't ideal.

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

We are offering direct access to support for our users when they need it the most. We've realized benefits such as easy bug reporting, feedback acquisition, and overall organizational improvements when it comes to communicating with our users.

Quick matters, urgent issues. Some people would rather chat then email or phone call.

When an old chat comes in that the user does not answer as "resolved', it gets assigned to the old user which can be messy at times.

Honestly I can't think of any downsides. There isn't anything I need to do that I am not able to do using helpshift.

I work for a mobile games company and deal with our players on a day to day basis. Helpshift allows us to provide support from within the game itself making it easier for both us and players to communicate.

What do you like best about Helpshift?

Easy to use, campaign function. It saves a lot of time.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I don't like that we don't have enough techinical support. We are based in China it is difficult for us to find help(due to time difference and language barriers). My sales left helpshift but no one notify us, which makes us wait months to receive our contract back. =

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

We provide a better customer support service.

"Helpshift Makes Helping Hear Our Guests Voices Easy"

"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.
