● AI-powered search capability
Document360’s AI-powered search has an impact on the user experience. It allows users to locate relevant information quickly. The AI grasps user questions even when they lack perfect phrasing. It points to the most precise results. This feature cuts down the time users take to search for answers. It also reduces confusion, enabling users to access the information they need. This leads to fewer support tickets. Users can discover solutions by themselves. This promotes customer self-service. It lessens the burden on support teams. In general, it results in a more productive support process.
● Content Categorization
Here’s how content categorization reduces support tickets. It organizes information and provides a framework. Businesses can categorize articles together and into subcategories. This allows the users to search for answers themselves. Hence, they will rarely contact support.
When information is well organized, the target users can easily identify topics. They can quickly navigate to guides or FAQs. This ensures they can find the assistance they require. This saves time for the customers, buying teams, and the support team in case of any change.
Let’s look at the examples of sections such as “Troubleshooting” or “How-to Guides.” They save time and reduce mix-ups, allowing customers to get the right information.
Thanks to the content categorization feature, Document360’s self-help packages are easy and quick. It writes information in clean divides, which is quite beneficial in enabling users to locate whatever interests them. Thus, typical support calls decrease. The support team can then handle more complex problems. This ultimately results in happier customers and improved situations in support work.
● User Analytics
The user analytics feature of Document360 minimizes the number of support tickets raised. As a result, it provides information on how consumers interact with the external knowledge base. Businesses can know which articles have high traffic and what several people look for. This info identifies customers’ primary areas of concern and assists the support team. Thus, they can improve the content based on these perceived aspects. Such an approach guarantees more effective answers for users and less demand for assistance.
The user analytics feature reveals shortcomings in the knowledge about the subject, making it possible to update new information. Consequently, users do not require assistance because they can quickly get their answers.
And, of course, it monitors keywords and changes within articles. This ensures the information is always helpful or, as often said, ‘ information overload.’ This means that because Document360 meets the users’ needs early, support requests will significantly decrease. This helps clarify the steps a customer should follow to serve himself, and it is also cost-effective in the support system.
Conclusion
The best way to reduce support tickets is to enable customers to solve their issues. Document360 helps businesses do this by providing an easy-to-navigate, well-organized knowledge base.
