Now a day’s customers use various channels such as social media, messengers, online reviews, email, SMS etc. to connect to or speak about the businesses they are engaged with. Staying on top of all these communication channels is a tedious process for businesses.
The objective behind the launch of such an App for customer satisfaction, i.e., the customer demands easier access to online support channel and it is their biggest request from the consumers. More and more customers identify social messaging as effortless and more satisfying communication option than making phone calls or sending emails.
