Each week we feature an app that has caught the attention of the Crozdesk community. We look for exciting features that make our lives easier, apps that take a radical approach to existing problems or a service that has everyone talking about it. In other words, apps that we think you should know about. This week, we’ve reviewed Vision Helpdesk, comprehensive customer support software designed to help businesses manage customer communications.
Vision Helpdesk
Vision Helpdesk – efficient customer support software
Client Ticket Function
Clients can login to view the status of tickets they have raised within Vision Helpdesk
Using Vision Helpdesk, customers can raise a new ticket via email; Vision Helpdesk will automatically log this and create a new client record for that customer. Having raised a ticket, customers are sent a personalised login link to a client portal, which gives them access to knowledge base articles, FAQ’s and a list of the tickets they have raised.
Dashboard
The dashboard function within customer support software Vision Helpdesk
Vision Helpdesk’s main interface is designed to be used by customer service agents – the dashboard feature forms the centre of this interface. The dashboard displays an overview of new; assigned; overdue and draft tickets, as well as data relating to other metrics including changes, releases and service requests.
Filters
The filter function within Vision Helpdesk allows tickets to be sorted and routed by agents
An important feature when it comes to handling large volumes of customer tickets, filters can be used to quickly sort and segment tickets according to specified criteria. A list of current filters can be viewed by clicking the top left of the dashboard screen and new filters can be added via the Advanced Search option within the Vision Helpdesk Inbox. Having inputted specific search criteria, users can choose to save that particular search as a filter, allowing them to easily view records matching those conditions, without having to repeat the advanced search process.
Inbox
The inbox function within customer support solution, Vision Helpdesk
The inbox window within Vision Helpdesk is designed to manage incoming tickets. New tickets are displayed in a list and allocated a colour, depending on their status. Users can add labels; tags; notes and comments to tickets, to assist with the sorting process. Client information can also be added to tickets, where a particular ticket relates to a specific client.
Clients
Customer support agents can add or edit client details in Vision Helpdesk
The clients section within Vision Helpdesk allows customer agents to track tickets allocated to a particular client. Client preferences, information and permission settings can also be managed using this function.
Staff Collaboration
Blabby, Vision Helpdesk’s staff collaboration function
A particularly useful feature of Vision Helpdesk is Blabby, a customer collaboration and chat function, accessible from within the Vision Helpdesk dashboard. Blabby allows team members to hold collective or private discussions; collaborate on issues; view trending topics and share files.
