Simplifies customer journey management with extensive value for startups
Bigin by Zoho CRM offers a suite of applications customized for the Indian market. Its modules, such as tax and invoicing, integrate smoothly with sales modules, managing the customer journey from start to end. It is startup-friendly and helps reduce the cost per lead, offering great value for small and mid-sized companies.

Customer support has improved significantly with seamless chat integration for quick resolutions
The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality. We are able to integrate it into our application and provide support to customers directly through our application. The messenger works efficiently, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly. There is conversation history available for each customer interaction, and they can access the help section within the chat itself. The Finn AI agent handles conversations both in chat and WhatsApp, which is particularly beneficial. Regarding automation tools, we have enabled the AI agent to answer customer queries instantly, reducing the need for constant staff presence. The AI agent quickly responds to customers and summarizes their issues, informing us when it cannot resolve a problem independently.
