Live Help 123 is a hosted service that allows visitors to your web
site to communicate with sales people and support staff using a web browser
in real time.
If you are interested in hosting your own live help server,
please look at our Help Desk Assistant product.
The application is hosted on Akeni's own server, with us providing
the administration and support for it. You only need to
download
a small, easy to use client side software for the operator.
You can optionally omit the installation of the software all together by
using a web based interface through your browser.
Our standard edition is free for the
first operator, so that you can try it out and experience
the benefits of this new web based sales and customer support service.
We also offer a hosted corporate
instant messaging service
for those companies who needs a secure and reliable IM system for internal and
external communication. Akeni will manage and administer the service on
your behalf.

Benefits of Web Based Live Help
-
Increased Efficiency:
Your sales people and support staff can handle
multiple customers with greater ease and efficiency than with a phone,
which results in increased productivity and reduced staff cost.
-
Decreased Cost:
Since your customers are contacting you through the Internet,
there is no long-distance phone charge for either party.
-
Instant Communication:
Unlike email based support, the interaction occurs in real time between
the operator and the customer, so it can not get lost or delayed.
This will lead to more sales and greater customer satisfaction.
-
Saves Time:
Unlike phone support, the customers can continue to work on their computer
while waiting in line for the next available operator.
This is more efficient for both parties.
-
Keep Session Records:
Both the customers and the operator can save and print the live help
transcripts for future references.
-
Team Based Support:
Better Collaboration among team members is possible through Live Help 123
since operators can "invite" another operator or a supervisor to join a
live help
session whenever they need assistance from another team member to answer a
question. This feature also allows one operator to transfer a support
session to another operator.
-
Knowledge Base:
You can build a searchable knowledge base using Live Help 123's built in
database capabilities.
-
Visitor Tracking:
You can monitor and track visitors to your web site in real time.
You can see their IP address, the page they are currently on, where they
came from, how many pages they have visited, the amount of time spent
on your web site, and more, all in real time.
-
-
Canned Replies:
You can prepare "quick phrases", which are canned replies to
commonly asked questions. This way you don't need to re-type them
which saves time.
Operators can also perform "URL push" to direct visitor to
the web pages that contains the information they are seeking.
