Self-service Success: the Business Portal
What is a business portal?
A business portal or corporate portal is a digital gateway on a website or application that gives customers access to their accounts, files, or information that is restricted to that specific customer. Built using enterprise portal software, a business portal gives customers the ability to independently access their accounts without having to directly contact the business.
Customizable for customers and simple to manage, Zendesk Help Center is a knowledge base, community, and business portal—all in one.
A different approach
Did you know?
- Empowered customers. Rather than relying on an agent to respond to a question, customers can log in and search for what they need the moment they need it.
- More time for difficult problems. The right solution can save companies the time and resources they otherwise would have been forced to spend helping customers solve simple issues. As a result, customer service agents have more time to spend dealing with complex issues or building relationship development with VIP customers.
- Better features. This includes features that email and other channels just aren’t capable of, including larger file limits, integration with knowledge bases and other self-service options, and more.
