Customer Support & Help Desk
Build it and they will come,
Support it and they will stay.
For many startups, customer support starts as an afterthought—handled by whoever has time, often the CEO, a founder, or a customer service agent armed with an already outdated handbook. Quick fixes like hiring junior staff or managing tickets through an email inbox might work at first, but as customer needs grow, so does your business need to implement a full-fat support desk. Without structured support, response times suffer, key issues go unresolved, and customers leave to find a rival company who makes them feel like they matter.
Maybe you have a desk already but fingers get pointed back and forth between support and product as to why your NPS score is in the drain?

We help you get to the bottom of your biggest customer gripes and turn them into opportunities for customer satisfaction.
