Hi peers. I’ve been extensively trialing the only product I found to be suitable for our tiny 2 admin service company - TRENGO and have been impressed. Just before buying what will be for us the biggest investment of this kind I did another search and found FRESH. I can’t spare anbother 2 weeks of my time trialing this as the trengo trial has already disrupted us in a bad way. From what I can see straight away is trengo is double the price however they are on hand on whatsapp to answer anything which is a big thing for a novice user. This support does not seem to exist here - I called UK support and did not go through. Help articles take longer to explore and often the key pieces are much quicker to get to just asking someone who knows.
We can get over this obstacle and learn ofcourse but here comes the second issue: Fresh offering at glance is convoluted, I basically want an omnichat but here I am being thrown about 12 different products at me all with similar name.
TLDR:
I am reaching out here to hopefully understand if this products suits us:
Tiny 2 person service buisness looking to combine calls, texts, whatsapp and email -
Integrate their existing mobile number by porting over with calls being recorded and available to listen
Being able to make notes on each ticket whether its a call or email and delegate a to do / task for another member that they physically have to tick off as “complete”
Make custom labels. Automate label making i.e all delivery update emails to automatically be labeled as such
Ideally custmizable so this shared to do list is right in your face and if someone mentions you again it comes right up (Trengo have a very nifty “mentions” inbox right on your left bar).
The biggest downside to omnichannel so far is the restrictions whatsapp API imposes - 24 hour response window and templates are a huge downgrade from flexibility of the standard whatsapp our team used. I assume there is nothing Fresh can do different here from Trengo but please correct me or if it is pobbile to use normal whatsapp on Fresh instead of API.
Am I right that Customer Service Suite - Growth will fulfill all of the above?
Thank you!
