Userlike provides a variety of customization options that give businesses and organizations the ability to easily match the looks, feel and the logic of the live chat box to their website’s overall design and esthetics.

The software is designed to be compatible with any device, so your team can address customer queries regardless of where they are or what device they’re using. This feature-rich live chat application offers an optimal experience for users, whether they’re using their desktop/laptop computers, tablets or their smartphones.
Userlike’s highly intuitive design delivers a fun and exciting working experience for both the support team/agents as well as the customers. It provides customers a chat window that is optimized for different types of devices, screen resolutions and sizes. The software’s chat window is specifically optimized for mobile and WhatsApp Connect, since most people nowadays use their smartphones and tablets when surfing the web and communicating online.
In addition to business websites and social media platforms, Userlike is also specifically tailored to integrate with existing ecommerce technology and is ideal for retail businesses that operate in various ecommerce platforms to sell their products and/or services. The cloud-based live chat software has a free trial version that interested parties can use to get started, or at the very least, try out the product to see how it can facilitate their retail operation and customer support requirements.
Userlike is an easy platform to use. It facilitates customer communication for your company’s sales agents, managers, support staff as well as your customers. The software is compliant with all the latest EU privacy standards and regulations, including the general data protection regulation or GDPR.
The most recent addition to the live chat software’s feature set is the chatbot tool. It’s an advanced chat responder that helps manage all your chat requests. It is capable of answering frequently asked questions (FAQs) at rapid-fire pace. A human agent can take over the conversation at any time whenever they available. Chatbots are the perfect solution for addressing customer queries outside of normal work hours.
One of the many good things about implementing Userlike is that it is equipped with features that are useful to all types of businesses. It’s not packed with unnecessary tools that merely add useless weight to the platform to make it seem feature-rich than it actually is. The developers of this live chat solution are committed to delivering a platform with features that are not only unique, but also come with a purpose. The following are some of the core features of Userlike that a lot of business users will find some value in:
Userlike is equipped with the tools you need to fully customize your chat solution, including your live chat window, to match your branding from the color schemes to the overall design and esthetics. This will give leads as well as your existing customers a truly branded experience. They take one look at your chat window and they will immediately know that they’re communicating with one of your sales or support agents.
Userlike gives your customers and end users the ability to select which department or team they wish to communicate with, all with just one click of a button. For instance, customers can talk to the marketing/sales department directly if they have some sales-related queries that they need answered or they can contact the technical support team if they need help resolving a technical issue with one of your products. You may even set up the chat tool so your users will see how quickly each team or department can respond.
With Userlike, businesses can organize their support teams and agents based on their skills or expertise to help streamline the customer communication process. You are able to assign each of your reps/agents a “specialty,” allowing the system to automatically connect the customer with a specific query or issue to the appropriate support staff who can address whatever problem or question they have. This approach makes it easier and more efficient to provide the best quality support to different customers with varying concerns and needs.
Userlike features an all-inclusive button integration solution that enables you to easily incorporate the live chat service across all your pages and various other channels. This means that wherever the customer is within your website or whatever social platform they’re using that your company has an account in, they easily connect and communicate with your support team with a simple click of the button that you have placed there thanks to this Userlike feature.
Userlike has the capability to automatically forward all chat data to the next agent or support staff that the customer speaks with. This gives the agent or rep the opportunity to review what has been previously discussed, which issues have been covered and what kind of solutions have been offered by the other agent. This function also helps ensure the customer doesn’t have to repeat themselves every single time they talk to a new support agent, which can be very inconvenient for any client.
The following are some of the benefits that Userlike can offer its users:
