It’s time to break free from legacy CRM platforms and deliver the experience your customers deserve.

How we improved self-service for our customers

Email sits at the bottom, with response times ranging into hours or even days. Chat is somewhere in the middle, with customers expecting a response in a few minutes. Phone support sits at the very top.
