Social support

Social media customer service is a relatively new software niche. This system enables you to communicate effectively with your audience by gathering all messages and mentions of your brand across different social networks in one place.

The main benefit of an omnichannel help desk system is that it enables you to see customer interactions from other customer support channels in a single dashboard. In addition, every message is collected inside a universal inbox and then transformed into unified tickets with the hybrid ticket stream.

How to choose social media service tools?

The most important thing is to consider all of your requirements and expectations. The first step is to check if you want to add other communication channels to your communication system and if you want to unify all of your communication in one location. Second, check whether you need live chat, email, telephone support, or a customer portal. The next thing you need to consider is features and integrations. Finally, compare prices to find the best value possible.
