Gorgias vs. Helpshift

Gorgias is one of the easiest platforms I've used, as it was easy to navigate. You can customize your views so you can easily track them. The shared views are also specific and convenient. The search button is also one thing I like, as it easily shows what you're looking for with just keywords, email addresses, or any information.

If you need a good way for players to send in support tickets that propagates in real-time, Helpshift would be a service I'd recommend.

• Gorgias AI, it able to replied to tickets with the brand of voice and the approached that aligned with our brand voice.
• Integrations that can be connected to multiple shopify stores, including messaging channels.
• Auto tagging on ticketing better categorizing when search.

Incentivized

• FAQ
• triggers by Google extensions
• customer service
• chat priority

• Maybe in sending our response, it would be nice if the undo button was longer than 5 seconds.
• Alt + enter should be disabled as we could accidentally press this, and the emails are automatically sent.

• The look could do with a bit of an upgrade. It's not a very big deal and isn't hard on the eyes but could probably be a bit more vibrant (or allow for customization).
• Better mobile support would be great. At the moment, it's very hard to try and do tickets from a phone.

It's pretty straightforward, but it does take a little getting used to for many people. I would almost recommend having an "expert" have someone sitting nearby to coach the user for their first experiences with the software, as well as setting options to be limited. As otherwise, there can be moments that are just too much at once for some users

Helpshift is really easy to use and set up. We enjoy the automation to automatically route certain issues to different smart folders. There's just a lot of flexibility in the functionality to make things work for our team in the best way. I didn't give it a 10/10 just because we need SMS/Apple Business Chat and Helpshift doesn't yet offer that. They also don't currently support social media channels but they are working on releasing that soon.

The few times we've had to contact them, they were courteous and gave us the information we needed swiftly.

We selected Gorgias from Zendesk based on its Shopify integration. Given how many stores we were managing the team needed to quickly find all of a customer's information in an email. We preferred it to Zendesk. However, now that I use intercom I have many more features such as surveys, topics, extensive reporting, auto tags, and series I prefer intercom for my work now

Helpshift is reasonably priced and has great analytics and capabilities and is very user-friendly. We had a hard time with Intercom about 2 years ago when we tried to implement them because their analytics were very minimal and wouldn't track what we needed it to. We haven't gone with Zendesk because we've heard from multiple people that their customer support was sub-standard

• Drastically reduced our response time from 2 business days, to 2 hours on average.
• Made it easier to sync data for damaged item, allowing us to better understand damages.
• Allowed us to easily see that statistics of what kind of issues we are seeing from our customers.

• The ability to properly organize and delegate work to customer service representatives has been a very positive ROI after using Helpshift.
• The customer service reps are much happier with this system over the previous system of a general company email address and other CS software tools.
