What makes the SaaS software provided by Freshworks stand out?

Freshworks ushers in the new era of SaaS. Whereas legacy SaaS software is too fragmented, bloated, and expensive, Freshworks enables companies of all sizes to quickly, easily, and intuitively engage customers and employees – and return more value. Our solutions are built for the end-user, and are therefore simple to deploy, affordable, and designed from the ground up. We are also deeply committed to continuous innovation and this is evidenced by the launch of Freshworks Neo, a modern, flexible and intelligent platform that unifies the user experience and breaks down silos.

How equipped are your applications when it comes to integrating the latest technologies, such as cloud, AI, API integrations, etc.?

Companies no longer can get away with dictating service mediums that work for them but inconvenience customers. They have to be on channels where customers are and must ensure that business transactions are frictionless. The best example is customer support. What once existed only through telephone lines is quickly becoming passe. Live chats, support on social channels, and even support on WhatsApp and Apple Business Chat are becoming mainstream. Freshworks’ products are intuitive and are built on a platform that accommodates seamless API and AI integration, making it possible to gain accurate predictions, get deeper insights for businesses, reduce operational overheads and improve customer experience.

In addition to this, we have worked with our distributors in the MEA to establish a strong and capable pool of channel partners. These organizations have been empowered to deliver high-quality post-sales support so customers can achieve resolution in the shortest possible timeframes.
