The report is based on four metrics.
Customer satisfaction – the ratio of good customer rates to all customer rates (good and bad).
First response time – the time of a customer service agent’s reply to a first customer’s message.
Handle time – the amount of time it takes to finish a customer’s case.
Number of cases – chats and tickets that businesses handle.

This year’s Customer Service Report shows that many of you followed this advice and invested in the improvements. We’ve noticed a 4-time increase in the number of apps being installed!
|

|
|
It’s really important for us to constantly provide new ways of improving the Agents’ workspaces and their workflows. However, it’s not only apps that started to gain traction.
|
|
|
|
We see a rising trend of service marketplaces in all variety of industries. A bare-bone product is simply not enough to get to the hearts of customers. Read the report to learn what is!
