By | March 3, 2025

Productivity Tools in Custom Apps

Meet Jack, a customer service representative working at a B2B company. He often finds himself too busy and stressed under a constant stream of cases, customer chats, and follow-ups. He juggles multiple conversations at once, trying to manage urgent support tickets while keeping up with ongoing inquiries. The back-and-forth causes him to lose track of key details, and his response times slow down, frustrating both Jack and the customers.

Frustrating, isn’t it?

But now with multisession functionality and productivity tools in custom model-driven apps in CRM, Jack can handle all his cases, conversations, and tasks in a single workspace, organized in a neat, browser-like tabbed interface.

It provides everything he needs in front of him without the constant switching between systems. Automation and quick actions help him resolve issues faster and stay on top of everything without missing a beat. His workflow becomes more organized, allowing him to provide quicker, more responsive service to his customers. It becomes more manageable, and the stress is finally under control.
