Salesforce Zendesk Integration

Zendesk is a cloud-based, customer service platform that facilitates communication between an organization and its customers. It supports the company's service team by helping them engage better with consumers, displaying customer data in a single place, and providing tools to easily track, prioritize and solve customer tickets. Zendesk also builds software to meet customer needs, sets your team up for success, and keeps your business in sync. Also, with today's customers wanting to connect any time, at any place, Zendesk enables you to meet them wherever they are, for sophisticated, seamless support that flows across channels.

And Salesforce is the number one customer relationship management (CRM) platform in the market. It helps amalgamate your marketing, sales, commerce, service and IT teams work as one from anywhere, so you can keep your customers happy everywhere. Salesforce comes packed with features like contact management, workflow creation, task management, opportunity tracking, collaboration tools, customer engagement tools, analytics, and intuitive, mobile-ready dashboard and so much more.
