1. Introduction to Zendesk

Simply put, Zendesk is a CRM catch-all. Zendesk is designed to foster great customer relations, and to do so provides software addressing customer support, sales, and customer engagement. Zendesk has a powerful international reach, serving over 150,000 users across hundreds of industries in more than 30 languages.  From start-ups to multinational corporations, Zendesk is there to provide top-tier CRM support software.

2. Does Zendesk have video call?

ViiBE’s integration allows Zendesk Support and Chat users to access video calls and collaborative tools. ViiBE’s video call improves Zendesk users’ abilities to resolve complex problems from a distance.  This is because ViiBE’s technology enables users to engage in visual, AR remote assistance communication with their customers and/or technicians. 

2.1. Does Zendesk have video?

ViiBE for Zendesk is an online video call tool that helps support agents collaborate remotely, record videos, and save customer interactions to their Zendesk tickets. With ViiBE, agents can review past interactions, create training material, and develop customer self-service documents.

ViiBE’s technology and Zendesk’s CRM platform work harmoniously to create a dynamic CRM + video call tech suite. 

For businesses, integrating ViiBE’s Zendesk integration is as easy as three clicks;

  1. – Click the install button on ViiBE’s Zendesk page
  2. – A ViiBE domain will be made for you within 30minutes 
  3. – You’re ready to make Zendesk video calls 

After adding ViiBE to your Zendesk ecosystem, a video call button will be integrated into your ticket dashboard. Simply create a new ticket and the video call button will appear.

Upon initiating a video call, a link will be sent to the customer. In one click the customer and agent will be connected by a real-time video with AR capabilities. From there, the collaborative video tool can be used to diagnose and solve any type of problem. 

The Zendesk video call feature uses state of the art WebRTC technology meaning the customer does not have to download any software or plugins, making the process frictionless.

3. Does Zendesk screen share?

Our integrations provide a seamless, no download access to screen share tools with your users, directly from Zendesk Support and Chat. When viewing a customer’s ticket, or in a chat, your agents can launch a ViiBE call in one click, and then have immediate access to the screen share feature.

 

ViiBE’s Zendesk video call integration allows users to not only connect to customers via video call at any moment, but also use screen sharing. Support agents can screen share instructions, diagrams, or any other necessary information to help the customers navigate and solve any questions or issues they have

4. The benefits of Zendesk video call

Customer service is the cornerstone of a successful business. In fact, 95% of consumers say that customer service is key to their brand loyalty. Zendesk video call technology has a history of boosting sink or swim customer service KPIs. Recent use cases have reported first contact resolution (FCR) rate increases of up to 25%, increases in net promoter score (NPS) rates over 30%, and a reduction in technician dispatch by 20%. Integrating Zendesk video call gives your business an automatic advantage in customer support. 

However, how exactly does Zendesk video call produce superior customer service? 

  • Empowered agents: Information collected during calls is saved in tickets which are directly embedded into your Zendesk ticketing system. By amassing a repository of information, agents, regardless of how inexperienced they are, can tap into vast reservoirs of expert knowledge. These empowered agents are more capable of solving dynamic challenges, boosting KPIs like FCR.
  • Ease of use: The less work, the happier the customer. Zendesk video calls are simple enough for any customer to wield without training, yet robust enough to solve problems ranging from broken treadmills to gas lift compressors. Such a frictionless consumer experience boosts satisfaction KPIs like NPS. 
  • Reduced dispatch rates: Truck rolls are costly. When dispatching technicians, companies accrue avoidable costs such as overtime and non-billable service. The Zendesk video call function reduces companies operation costs by enabling technicians to solve complex problems without leaving the call center

5. Case study: Decathlon

Decathlon is the largest sporting goods retailer in the world. When they became interested in improving their after-sales services, they turned to ViiBE for our Zendesk video call integration. Decathlon aimed to use our software to resolve two pain points,

  1. How to better serve their customers?
  2. How to reduce in-person after-sales services?

Decathlon’s use of Zendesk video call has yielded impressive results. Decathlon has used ViiBE and Zendesk to achieve a -67% reduction in tech dispatch, a +25% gain in NPS, and a 6x higher FCR rate.

Decathlon correctly leveraged Zendesk video call and have since reaped the rewards, but how exactly did they employ the technology?

Use case example: Perhaps a customer recently purchased a treadmill from Decathlon. That customer now feels a tugging sensation when using the treadmill. The customer calls the help center, and the agent escalates the ticket to a video call. After some questioning the agent ascertains the issue, the belt is misaligned. Through the Zendesk video call, the agent can take snapshots of the real-time video feed. The agent can then annotate the pictures to guide the customer through the steps needed to check the belt’s alignment. And voilà, problem solved.

Without remote support, a technician would have to be dispatched, costing the company money, and the customer patience.

The ability for agents to diagnose, assist, and collaborate is a key function in the Decathlon use case. Decathlon uses video support to achieve faster ticket resolution, higher customer satisfaction, and reduced dispatch rates.

6. Case study: Daikin

The utility of Zendesk video calls stretch beyond the retail sector. Recently, Daikin, a multinational air-conditioner manufacturer found success using the remote support tool. Daikin adopted ViiBE’s Zendesk video call integration to address the following two issues,

  1. How can we improve our customer satisfaction?
  2. How can we optimize the connection between expert and field operators?

How exactly did Daikin surpass its goals? Daikin deployed Zendesk video call in two arenas,

  • Internally: Internally, the platform helps technicians contact experts when they encounter a roadblock. The expert can use the real-time video connection to lead the technician through the steps needed to resolve the issue. This process nullifies the need for a costly dispatch, while giving each technician, regardless of experience the capabilities of an expert. 
  • Daikin’s customer service centers: Daikin’s CX agents use Zendesk video calls to improve after-sales services. After purchasing a product, the customer may encounter difficulties. CX agents use remote support to establish diagnoses and provide step-by-step guidance in solving any problem.

7. After the video call

A key part of any video call is actually what happens after. Post-call, all parties complete a quality survey. This helps track important customer service KPIs and informs agents how they can improve their support in the future. Any media — screenshots or schematic plans  transmitted during the call is uploaded to the Zendesk ticket along with the feedback. 

Organization of data is central to archiving knowledge. Such data can be used going forward to inform agents on a specific client’s history. If a repeat problem arises, archived data lets the agent know what has already been attempted so that they may explore other resolutions. 

Going the extra length to personalize the consumer’s experience is paramount in modern customer service. Zendesk video call enables companies to do just that.
