Sarah Seiwert, Senior Manager of Community Support at Andela, had a clear mission: make the support experience smoother for their community of users. Before she arrived, the primary method of support at Andela was a Slack channel, which was messy and hard to manage. While there was a tremendous sense of community on Slack, the support process itself was cumbersome. Important questions were posted on Slack, but there was no systematic way to track and address them.
Things were further complicated when Andela integrated Zendesk, a ticketing system, to their operations. Instead of streamlining processes, it led to a series of challenges: one-way communication, lost threads, missed attachments, and a lot more. Support agents were constantly switching between platforms, leading to inefficiencies and frustration on both sides.
A change was needed. Upon research and seeking community advice, Sarah discovered Foqal, a platform designed to bridge the communication gap between tools like Slack and Zendesk.
After integrating Foqal, the transformation was almost instantaneous:
The platform allowed two-way communication directly on Slack, ensuring that agents didn't have to switch between platforms. The simplicity of Foqal meant that support could be proactive, responsive, and more aligned with users' needs.
The Andela case study underscores the significance of adopting tools that resonate with user needs and preferences. By integrating Foqal, Andela not only streamlined its support operations but also reinforced its commitment to serving its community better.
