Top Features That Transform Customer Service Management

1. Visual Workflow Management

Effortlessly Navigate Your Workflows: The Kanban Board app brings your CRM workflows to life with a visual representation of tasks and stages.

For instance, imagine tracking customer support tickets through stages like ‘On Hold,’ ‘In Progress,’ and ‘Resolved’—each stage is displayed as a column, allowing your team to quickly assess and manage the progress of each ticket at a glance.

2. Customizable Views

Tailor Your Board to Fit Your Needs: Personalize your Kanban board layout to match your specific workflow requirements. Whether you need rows for different support teams or lanes for various issue types, the app allows you to configure the board to reflect your unique process.

For example, you can create lanes for ‘High,’ ‘Normal,’ and ‘Low Priority’ tickets, ensuring that each ticket is handled according to its importance.

3. Drag-and-Drop Functionality

Simplify Task Management with Ease: Move tasks seamlessly between different stages with intuitive drag-and-drop actions.

If a ticket needs to be escalated from ‘In Progress’ to ‘Urgent,’ simply drag it to the appropriate column. This immediate visual update ensures that changes are reflected in real-time, keeping your team aligned and focused on the most pressing issues.

4. Arrange Records According to Business Process Flow

Streamline Transactions and Categorization: Effortlessly manage and categorize records based on your predefined Business Process Flow.

For example, if your support process involves multiple phases, the Kanban board allows you to create columns that mirror these stages. Moving a record through these stages automatically updates its status, ensuring that your data and workflows stay synchronized.

5. Sorting

Stay Organized with Advanced Filtering: Filter and sort tasks based on criteria such as priority, status, and other parameters.

For example, sort support tickets by ‘Created Date’ to prioritize older issues or filter by ‘Status’ to focus on unresolved cases. This feature ensures that your team can quickly locate and address the most critical tasks.

6. Integration with CRM Entities

Comprehensive Management Across Entities: The Kanban Board app integrates seamlessly with various CRM entities, including both custom and out-of-the-box (OOB) entities like leads and opportunities.

This means you can apply the same Kanban visualization to different types of records, providing a unified view of your CRM data and enhancing your overall management capabilities.
