With Helpshift’s new Real-Time Operations Dashboard, supervisors will have access to unprecedented visibility and actionable insights into their operations and will be able to make instant and informed decisions. Supervisors will be able to monitor live data on granular levels with customizable metrics such as agent capacity, agent availability, and issue backlog.
“We’re excited about the new Helpshift capabilities provided to our supervisors, who will now be able to focus on higher-level team management with new levels of flexibility and control,” said Chad Boonsupa, VP of customer experience at Vivino. “This provides much greater functionality, as our team can now organize and reallocate resources like never before.”
New GDPR Compliance
To make it easier for enterprises to adhere to the GDPR guidelines, Helpshift will support the necessary organizational measures, tools and processes to do so in Q1. For example, Helpshift will offer an Issue Redaction tool that will enable enterprises to remove support issues, user info and all personal data of a user who has requested it be removed in compliance with the individual rights outlined in the GDPR.
“The core principles of security and privacy protection have been a part of our design and policies from the beginning,”said Helpshift VP of Engineering and Product, Pradeep Jindal. “They align with our existing processes and technology and will continue to be of paramount importance into the future.”
