Move from the support problem to a route

Separate the operating model question from the staffing and budget questions, then decide what the team needs to investigate.

  1. 1

    Decide whether your team needs software or an outside service

    Help desk software is a tool your team runs; outsourcing means hiring a partner to run support operations. Read the help desk and outsourced service topics to explore those routes.

  2. 2

    Look at outsourcing models and provider choices

    If an outside service is under consideration, use the customer support outsourcing and company topics to continue exploring that route.

  3. 3

    Review costs and individual assistance topics

    Use the cost and virtual assistant topics to focus your next research on budget information or individual support assistance.

SaaS customer support questions

What does SaaS customer support include?

It is ongoing help for people using a software-as-a-service product. It can include answering questions, fixing issues and offering product guidance as the service evolves.

How does momo answer questions from our own content and hand off unanswered questions?

The support system retrieves passages from your business knowledge, drafts an answer and checks that draft against those sources. When confident, it sends the answer with citations; when it is not confident, it says so and opens a ticket for your team.

Which channels and tools can a SaaS support team use with momo?

Available channels include web chat, email, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and Slack, with conversations going to one shared inbox. Integrations include Shopify's order-status action, Zapier, Slack, a REST API and webhooks. Phone is not yet available.

Where can I compare customer service outsourcing costs and virtual assistant options?

The customer service outsourcing cost page covers that cost topic. The customer service virtual assistant page covers virtual assistant information.

How do I choose between help desk software and outsourced customer support?

A help desk is software your team runs, while outsourcing means hiring a partner to run support operations. Consider which operating model your team is researching, then explore the matching help desk, outsourcing, cost or company topic. For more detail, read the customer support outsourcing guide.
