Support transitioning to Desk.com
July 15, 2014
by Katie Butz
This summer our support team has been working to launch a big
change to how we communicate with you. Starting next week, we will
transition to Desk.com, an “all-in-one customer support app
designed to meet the challenges faced by fast-growing
companies.”
We’re excited for the new features this app brings and
think the change will benefit both you and our support team. We've
highlighted some changes below, but you can continue to contact us
by emailing support@prestosports.com.
Like any big change, there may be a learning curve for our team.
We’ve spent many hours learning the new program and training
with it, but transitioning to live, large amounts of support
tickets may produce a few hiccups for our team. We don’t
anticipate you noticing a difference, but if you do, just let us
know! Please shoot us another email if you don’t receive a
response in our normal 30-minute response time.
Features you'll like:
- Live chat: Our email responses are very quick,
but if you want to live chat with a member of our support team, you
can now open a chat! Don’t worry about not being able to
reference the chat in the future — an email transcript
can be sent once the chat is complete.
- Knowledge center: Similar to our existing Help
Center, you can find step-by-step instructions for adding content
to Game day and your website. Now, when you email us from this
page, the Knowledge Center will give you suggestions based on
keywords in your email.
- Better search for Knowledge Center pages: We
can now add additional key terms to our pages to improve the search
results. You may search “folder,” but we call the
content type “section.” This improved search will
help you find the right page.
- Incorporating the Knowledge Center into our
emails: The two are now tied together so we can insert
pages from our Knowledge Center directly into our emails.
Features we'll like:
- Integration with our existing apps: We
currently use apps such as JIRA (tracking internal tickets),
HipChat (communicating within the office) and Nicereply (tracking
our customer satisfaction) to improve our internal efficiency.
Desk.com is integrated with each app to streamline our work and
communication.
- Metrics to track our response time, resolution time,
number of cases: We’re always working to make our
customer support better. Desk.com will give us the ability to see
real-time reports.
- Customer contact database: Now when you email
our team, your ticket will automatically link to past emails. This
will make it easier for us to view our communication history and
reference past tickets.
