Global Real-Time Support Ticketing for the Hotel Industry with Zendesk

 

 

February 20, 2011 SAN FRANCISCO - Put down that phone! Two-way support ticketing and conversations are coming to the hotel industry. Frontdesk Anywhere has partnered with Zendesk to bring innovative customer support ticketing to the lodging industry. The initial roll-out is within the Frontdesk Anywhere application.

"We believe in showcasing how the technology can benefit hotels right within our own application" Frontdesk Anywhere co-founder, Thomas Lyle stated. "The possibilities are far reaching beyond our application for the hotel industry. Imagine the situation where hotel staff questions and guest issues could be addressed quickly and efficiently from remote locations. Costs are reduced and a history of incidents is maintained. We use this data to see where the hot issues are. No longer is this information held in the memory of employees but is now stored and can be measured so that recurring issues can be identified and addressed."

"Our goal is to fully democratize the 'help desk,' making it possible for any company small or large to provide superior customer service while also empowering their customers" says Zendesk CEO Mikkel Svane about their role in connecting customers with companies. Companies such as CNN, The New York Times, Facebook and Forbes.com use Zendesk to manage their customer support ticketing.

The Zendesk ticketing system is currently part of the Frontdesk Anywhere application enabling Frontdesk Anywhere customers to communicate with agents 24/7 and when phone communication is possible.
