Data
Put what you know to work. Adjust the Zendesk data model so that it’s accessible, usable and just right for your business. You can capture activity, like when an order is placed, and customer attributes, like their shoe size. All of it ultimately provides a single view of the customer.
Get a single view of the customer
Give your agents a single view of everything you know about a customer. Using APIs, unify information across systems like order history, loyalty status and web activity.
Shape data to your business
Tailor Zendesk to your organisation’s unique structure and processes with customised objects. If you’re an IT team, you can track laptops. If you’re in retail, store product catalogues or customer order history.
Put the data to work
Create reports and draw insights from your data. With that information, you can build new workflows, streamline processes and personalise your customer journey.
