Before we had Freshdesk Messaging and Freshdesk, we were struggling with the growth of customer operations at FinAccel. We were constantly firefighting all the time. There was no scope to track or measure the support operations and it was a nightmare. To put some numbers on it, our answer rate on p...hone was less than 40% and email response times abominable.
