Helpdesk system set up for prompt resolution of Salesforce issues
Our client is a comprehensive tile and stone company that serves the design industry, catering to a diverse clientele that includes homeowners, designers, builders, contractors, architects, and installers. They were using Salesforce for the past five years, but they were not fully aware of how to utilize it more effectively. This case study illustrates how we helped our client to get the most out of Salesforce.
The client was using Salesforce for a few years but was not fully aware about how to use it to its maximum potential. They were also facing many challenges due to communication with multiple vendors and use of many project management tools. They were looking for a technology partner to help them address these challenges
We suggested setting up a system where we would deal with vendors, and manage other tasks for the client. We setup a helpdesk system where all the employees could raise their issues through tickets.
There were multiple vendors and coordinating with them was a complex task. This complexity made it challenging to ensure seamless communication among all parties involved.
The client had to deal with multiple project management tools, each preferred by different vendors, leading to tool fragmentation.
The primary decision-maker in the company had difficulty tracking which tasks were assigned to specific vendors.
The entire process, from assigning tasks to their resolution, was time-consuming due to the involvement of multiple vendors. This extended timeline negatively affected project delivery times and responsiveness to client needs.
The absence of efficient monitoring mechanisms hindered the client's ability to oversee and manage ongoing tasks and projects effectively.
- We proposed a Ticketing channel system to the client to ensure efficient issue resolution and enhance overall productivity.
- We created a portal where the department heads can raise tickets for bugs, new requirements, process changes, etc., through the helpdesk portal. Tickets can be prioritized based on urgency.
- Created a feature to send automatic notifications regarding the updates on the cases to the concerned parties. Configured real-time collaboration tools like instant messaging or chat to the issue tracking system.
- Created a framework where we would assign tickets to the most suitable support agent or team (including 3rd party). This ensures that the tickets reach the appropriate resources for resolution.
- The assigned support agent or team takes ownership of the ticket and begins working on resolving the issue. Communication with the client will be through the help desk system, allowing for additional information gathering and providing updates.
