This is being used to make it easier for our sales staff to add leads and follow up with them. Our sales team has found it considerably easier to maintain track of leads generated by this service because of the connectivity with CRM. We wanted to learn more about our customers' habits. This work is made incredibly simple and straightforward to accomplish with SalesIQ. It makes a big difference to chat with and engage with customers at the correct time without being aggressive.

As great as AKAI is, its only issue is we cant take payments through our PMS - AKIA is reluctant to work with PMS payments as it wants to take payment itself. If this cant be navigated and other opportunities within our PMS appear that can do what AKAI does, it will force us to move in this direction

Exceptional support. Hopefully they grow enough to have world wide support. Can be problematic being in oposite time zones

Initially its a blanc canvas, once we got our head around that your good. It does take a fair few onboarding sessions to really learn. With the blanc canvas approached AKAI need to remember new buyers will be overwhelmed by this possibly

The option of the desktop application was a missing feature on both of the previously used tools, including having applications for Windows, Linux, as well as MACOS. Having a separate application for the chat agents from the main CRM application was a key missing feature as it was combined with the complete CRMs tools being used earlier. Website visitors' live and history activity on our website was missing on the tools being used earlier by our Customer Success teams.

• It has significantly reduced the number of phone calls and emails we used to get. Chat is more convenient for our users. It also means we can provide support with fewer agents as a single agent can work on multiple chats (unlike phone support).
• Ability to catch and engage with new users that are potential leads has also improved our overall sales program.
• Letting admin take over chat seamlessly without a transfer lets us provide a better quality support experience to our more important users.
