Overview

On August 18,2015, cloud-based customer support platform Freshdesk is bought the live video chat platform 1CLICK.io. Google Capital-backed Freshdesk said video and voice features from 1CLICK will strengthen its real-time chat support capabilities through co-browsing technology, which enables help desk agents to see a customer’s screen and interact with it in real-time to resolve issues. Freshdesk said 1CLICK’s co-browsing feature will add greater context during the problem resolution process and ultimately reduce the time agents spend on each help-desk ticket. 1CLICK also gives Freshdesk a bit more prowess in mobile, as its integrated HD video and voice chat services work natively on the channel.
