Agillic introduces best in class personalised, real-time customer service experience with Zendesk integration

Press release, Copenhagen, 17 November 2021


Zendesk (NYSE:ZEN) is a leading service-first CRM company with over 5,000 employees and customers located in over 160 countries and territories. In collaboration with Zendesk, Agillic has developed a plug-and-play app connector between the two systems, to create a solution that empowers customer service with true omnichannel marketing capabilities.

Today’s consumers expect consistency across all contact points and customer interactions, regardless of company function or system. And they will frequently share their experience, good or bad, on social media. Therefore, companies’ technology stacks need to be flexible, highly adaptable and easy to integrate.

Turning customer service from cost center to revenue generation

Marketing and customer service are both areas with a high degree of customer interactions. And both customer service and marketing are pursuing the same goals: securing customer loyalty, which creates more revenue. By empowering customer service with marketing triggers, companies gain an additional revenue and loyalty-generating channel. According to Gartner®:

"Although artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and virtual reality (VR) are creating a lot of buzz within the sphere of customer service, it's the employee-centric technologies such as workforce management, case management, consolidated desktop agent, internal collaboration tools and unified communications that currently deliver the most value to the customer service function."

Plug-and-play with marketing capabilities

The Agillic/Zendesk connector is a plug-and-play app, available through Zendesk Marketplace and complimentary for joint Zendesk and Agillic customers. The connector enriches the Zendesk UI with marketing information and empowers customer support to use marketing triggers to increase customer satisfaction and generate revenue. With a single click, the support representative can, for example, stop all marketing activities when resolving a complaint, or promptly provide satisfied customers with personalized offers.

"Customers today are demanding more personalised service that is tailored to their needs and their channel of choice. By bringing together Zendesk and Agilic, agents can have a clearer view of the customers’ needs and preferences across the customer life cycle, while also being able to proactively offer recommendations tailored to them. This kind of connected, omnichannel approach opens up new opportunities for the service team to drive sales and revenue for the business," says Charlotte Møller-Andersen, Regional Vice President, Commercial North at Zendesk.

A tailor-made solution set up in minutes

Jacob Fusager at Agillic Gold Partner Web2Media is an expert user of Agillic and works with Agillic/Zendesk joint clients. He sees clear benefits with the new connector:

"Custom integrations in omnichannel solutions are often a lengthy and costly affair. The Zendesk/Agillic app can be set up in minutes, while still being fully customizable to fit customers' data model and marketing flows. This will bring great benefits to our clients." 

The connector was released in October and is already being used by several Agillic/Zendesk customers who are looking to add value to their businesses through marketing triggers activated by customer service.

Bo Sannung, CCO at Agillic comments:

"Our cooperation with Zendesk is a perfect example of our strategy. We are removing the complexity of dealing with best-of-breed vendors by carefully picking and allying with the best of them. Both Zendesk and Agillic have many shared clients in the Nordics who can benefit from this new solution. Our collaboration also strengthens Agillic's internationalization efforts, as Zendesk has a solid footprint on the European target markets for Agillic: particularly the greater Nordics, DACH and Benelux."
