As the most comprehensive software customer support solution in small companies and the world's largest organizations, the ExtraView customer support solution features comprehensive customer support management functionality. You can follow any desired process, with full reporting, dashboard and charting capabilities. Customers may add their own issues or submit them via email. Answers may come from one-on-one communications or from a knowledgebase. Every update is automatically audited so a complete history of each issue is always available. Each screen can be individually tailored to capture the fields needed for your system.
Customer details are stored, along with customer issues. Once entered, issues can be managed through the defined workflow, and they may be copied with a single keystroke to other ExtraView solutions, such as defect tracking, where they will be handled appropriately.
Customer details such as their name, address and contact information are entered directly into the Customers business area. When a customer exists in the Customers area, their details can be seen directly within the support issue that is created. A benefit of ExtraView is the ability to define and store multiple contacts and locations per single customer.
The workflow can allow for support issues to be managed independently in combination to other issues such as Bugs and Defects Areas. The default process provided will work for many companies, but it is straightforward for your administrator to change this to suit your company. No process is too complex for ExtraView to handle.
