Our commitment to enhancing customer experience is further supported by streamlining our processes and enhancing efficiency as we have implemented several automation techniques. We automate processes such as rule configuration between requests and Help Center ticket creation, which significantly improves the speed and accuracy of our customer support operations. Furthermore, we have integrated ticket assignment automation for the entire team, allowing us to manage and distribute customer inquiries more efficiently.
