For software companies, customer support is the backbone of growth and satisfaction. From startup to scale-up, SaaS companies rely on technology to meet the needs of their customers effectively and efficiently. As agents race to address individual customer issues, it can be difficult to see the larger picture—unless you have a dedicated ticketing tool to help. With a better understanding of customer history, ticketing agents can utilize a proactive approach and meet the needs of customers before they even arise.
Understand the Customer Journey
One of the most vital parts of scaling a business is an understanding of how customers onboard and use your product as time goes on. Are they utilizing certain features or do they need more hand-holding to fully take advantage of everything you have to offer? Are they hitting roadblocks during onboarding that can affect their decision to renew toward the end of their contract? Simplifying the onboarding process and learning how customers use the platform allows for agents to move through the customer journey alongside the growing customer base.
TeamSupport’s interactive platform is designed for software companies, supporting SaaS businesses to close more tickets with fewer delays. With a personalized onboarding experience, support can be tailored to the needs of your customers. TeamSupport allows users to organize incoming tickets and monitor interactions to determine where customers need more assistance and what features need more training.
Invest in the Right Tech Stack
As your company grows, your tech stack needs to keep up. Features like automation, real-time data, and self-service support are just a few of the options that TeamSupport provides for companies looking to equip their agents with time-saving features so they can stay on top of customer requests as the business grows.
As your tech stack grows, you want to make sure that systems can communicate with each other seamlessly. TeamSupport is simply integrated with many popular platforms, including Jira and Salesforce, allowing you to keep the flow of communication with developers, product experts, and anyone else who may need to be involved with solving customer issues. With native integrations of over 30 tools, your ticket management system can automatically integrate with no down time.
Offer an Intuitive Knowledge Base
By empowering your customers to solve problems and find answers independently, your ticket volume decreases. With that, ticketing agents are free to focus on more complex interactions. TeamSupport’s customizable Knowledge Base provides unique access to information for your customers and employees alike.
Having a Knowledge Base enables customers to search for information on their own, any time of day or night. The collection of resources and articles directs customers to information most relevant to the question at hand. With answers to common questions, self-service options, and tips on how to best use your software, a Knowledge Base is an asset to any SaaS company looking to maximize agent time while proactively reaching resolution.
Prioritize Collaboration
Scaling your team means centralizing both customer interactions and support tickets in one location, so ticketing agents can easily work together on an issue. TeamSupport’s ticketing system offers features like tagging, ticket assignment, and automated workflows to streamline tasks and promote a collaborative approach.
TeamSupport’s various integrations with your current tech stack facilitates seamless transitions and encourages your team to make the most of the technology they’re already using. By customizing dashboards to optimize data and accessing reporting analytics to track performance metrics, agents can stay aligned on their goals.
Access Omnichannel Support
Customers want to reach you on their terms. Your support team must be able to meet them where they are, and also streamline internal communications. With TeamSupport’s omnichannel software, ticketing agents can engage through almost any channel and manage all communications under one roof.
From email to chat to social media, an omnichannel support software is scalable. Maintaining flexibility with your customers keeps your organization relevant and accommodates customer preferences as they continue to evolve.
