The findings of traditional customer support

Admit it, who hasn't had that little shiver of anxiety when they see the interminable queue on your software? Between urgent requests mixed in with basic questions, and "I'll get back to you" requests that never arrive, it's a real obstacle course. In a traditional model, each ticket is passed from hand to hand: you end up losing traceability, communication becomes fragmented, and follow-up becomes random.

In the end, the quality of your customer support suffers, and your company risks losing impatient customers. The bottom line? It's high time to deploy a more reactive, centralized approach.

How Odoo Helpdesk revolutionizes your support?

With Odoo Helpdesk, it's a revolution: you create a dedicated service channel (e-mail, chat, web form), and every message instantly becomes a ticket, classified, prioritized and assigned. Thanks to a system of labels and priority levels, your teams know immediately what to deal with first. And best of all, everything is synchronized with the rest of your system. ERP A customer who has already opened several tickets sees his complete history, so you can better anticipate his needs, and avoid making him repeat his whole life! A real convenience, for you and for the customer. Even better: you have access to real-time dashboards, showing you the number of tickets resolved, the average response time, and the areas where you need a little more drive.
