Our take
Deskpro offers a single, easy-to-use interface for managing all customer support interactions across email, live chat, phone, and social media. This allows companies to easily interact with customers and create an efficient support experience.
The platform automates simple, mundane, and time-intensive customer support processes - creating more engaged and productive staff. Its simplicity means extra technical knowledge or training is not required. Deskpro has worked with market leaders across a range of sectors, from Microsoft, Panasonic, and Sony to the NHS and HMRC.
It also expanded to allow easy customer interaction on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. User contributions on social media pages become actionable tickets, which companies can respond to from the helpdesk. This allows Deskpro to take advantage of the increasingly large social media presence of companies, as well as provide access to the consumer on regularly used, trusted and convenient sites.
