Challenges We Solve For The Agent Desktop
Common Challenges & Gaps
The OpenMethods Solution
Workflow Impediments
Agents spend excessive time switching between different screens and applications to gather interaction information.
Unified Workspace
Deliver relevant data directly into the Zendesk desktop without multiple marketplace apps.
Repeated Info
Customers experience frustration when they have to repeat their information because agents do not have context from previous interactions in Zendesk or before reaching Zendesk.
Real-Time Context Transfer
OpenMethods captures IVR, CRM, and interaction history to pre-fill agent screens.
Slow Resolution Times
Manual data entry, extended searches, and disjointed workflows slow resolution times and raise error risks, impacting productivity and service quality.
Automated Data Retrieval
Instantly fetches relevant customer details from integrated systems, reducing AHT.
Manual Navigation
Agents often manually access and navigate customer records, applications, and systems. This process frequently leads to errors and a lack of guidance for achieving optimal outcomes.
Guided Experiences & Context
Real-time recommendations guide agents to resolve issues faster.
Disconnected Systems
The required information for interactions is stored in various legacy systems and external applications, resulting in the need to manage multiple add-ons and rely on manual processes, which increases handling time.
Prebuilt App Connector
Bridges gaps between Zendesk, legacy platforms, and external applications.
