Managing contracts manually led to missed deadlines, compliance risks, and inefficiencies. With SharePoint Contract Management, automation streamlined workflows, reduced manual effort, and ensured compliance. Now, we focus more on clients instead of paperwork.

Challenges Faced Before Implementing Live Chat Support

Long Response Times
Customer inquiries were being handled via email or phone, leading to long response times, especially during peak hours. This delay resulted in frustration for customers and missed opportunities for quick issue resolution.
High Customer Frustration
Customers often had to wait on hold or go through long email exchanges to get assistance. This led to dissatisfaction, increased complaints, and a drop in repeat business.
Inconsistent Support Availability
Support teams were not always available during non-business hours, leaving customers without immediate help. This gap led to lost trust in the brand’s commitment to customer care.
Manual Tracking and Limited Data Insights
The company lacked real-time tracking of customer queries, which meant that data was not being leveraged to enhance service quality. Support teams had no way to track ongoing issues, making it difficult to improve responses or identify areas for improvement.

The live chat platform provided real-time analytics, enabling customer support teams to track performance, monitor customer behavior, and improve response strategies. This data-driven approach led to quicker problem resolution and better service quality.
Knowledge Base and Automation
A comprehensive knowledge base was integrated with the live chat system, enabling customers to find answers to common questions instantly. Automated responses helped resolve frequent queries, reducing the burden on support staff and allowing them to focus on more complex issues.
