Experts answer customer questions online

PASS Ticket System

Experts answer questions on specialist topics online

Our ticket system with integrated knowledge base enables you to provide your internal and external customers with a consulting platform within a short period of time. The ticket system can be quickly and easily integrated into your website and offers a fully automated process (workflow) for topic-related customer advice by experts. At the same time, a digital and central knowledge management system including a research database is created so that no query has to be answered several times.

The experts answer the request and the questioner receives feedback via the customer service portal. The subject areas are defined via different hierarchical levels so that the experts can be assigned in detail to their respective subject areas. Several experts can also be assigned at the same time. Generalized, anonymized question-answer dialogues (Q&A) are derived from the individually answered questions, which can be publicly researched via a full-text search in the internal knowledge base.

Reference

Your benefit from the use of our ticket system with integrated knowledge base

The processing of customer-driven questions as a consulting service is a fully automated workflow from asking the question to answering, evaluating and optionally anonymous publication. The various internal and external experts, who are managed in the system and sorted according to subject areas, are directly integrated into the consulting process. Parallel to the consulting service for the individual questioning customer, a growing database of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is potentially created with each question asked. This can be searched by all customers for suitable answers using a full-text search. In this way, redundant answers to the same or very similar queries are greatly reduced.

In contrast, the alternative of answering specific questions by telephone leads to considerable time inefficiencies: The clerks must take up the request on the telephone, understand it and then forward it to experts. If the person responsible cannot be reached at the time of the call, a new call is the consequence. 24-hour support is too time-consuming and peak times occur. The telephone processing also entails the risk of incorrect categorization of queries. This can be avoided by using our online ticket system to answer questions.

Therefore use the advantages of our ticket system with integrated knowledge base.

 

How does the Customer Service Portal work?

  • Web access

    The customer service portal is easily accessible via an Internet connection.

  • Research

    If a user has queries on specialist topics, he can search for answers within the knowledge base provided.

  • Interaction

    If the user does not find what he is looking for in the knowledge base, he can formulate his request as a query and send it to the customer service portal via an online form. A coordinator forwards the query within the back-office portal to a competent person in charge. The coordinator then works out the answer either directly or with the help of one or more experts. The administrator also has the option of making enquiries with the user.

  • Satisfied user

    Once the answer has been activated and published in the question anwsering system (Q&A system), the user can evaluate it for completeness and usefulness.
