At Zylker Techfix, customer service wasn't just about solving issues, it was about creating meaningful human connections. The team believed that every interaction was an opportunity to understand their customers better and offer solutions that truly made a difference.
Understanding the Customer
Customer service is about showing love for customers and loving what you do. Every ticket is an opportunity to connect, solve problems, and make customers feel valued. Zoho Desk became the heart of Zylker Techfix operations to help them do just that.
The Ticket Module: A Treasure Trove of Insights
The Tickets Module records every interaction with the customer. This place helped establish relationships with customers.
The team discovered the Ticket tabs as a wealth of features to understand their customers better:
- Conversation Module held records of the ticket conversations and private comments, helping them keep an eye on interactions with the customer, ensuring no detail was missed.
- Under the Resolution Tab, they mandated recording resolution to track customer actions, ensuring every issue was resolved with care.
- The Parent-Child ticket feature linked related tickets, making it easier to see the bigger picture and provide consistent support.
- Time Entry Module kept them in track with billable hours and time spent on tickets, ensuring efficiency and transparency.
- The History Tab offered insights into past interactions, allowing agents to filter by incoming responses, outgoing replies, comments, and attachments. This was crucial for tracking ticket progress and ensuring timely resolutions.
- The Geo-Location Module is another powerful tool that works well with the Zoho Desk App. This enables to track the location of field service representatives, ensuring real-time updates and better service coordination.
- The Activity Tab helped filter activities based on specific criteria, providing a detailed view of customer interactions.
- Approval Tab facilitated streamlined approval processes, ensuring that responses requiring managerial review were promptly addressed.
- The Attachment Module helped in organizing and accessing customer-related documents easily.
Note: For early access to the Parent-child ticket feature, request here. This applies to Professional and Enterprise users only.

A Smarter Approach to Ticket Management
At times, when Zylker Techfix experienced a surge in tickets, the Ticket Detail banner on the left provided the following details on the ready-to-use extensions:
- Ticket Properties showed the customer and ticket information
- Field Predictions auto-filled customer details, saving time.
- Zoho's AI, Zia leveraged the Answer Bot to provide solutions based on the knowledge base created by the user within Zoho Desk.
- The Ticket Follower option let them keep a track of the tickets handled by them or other agents.
- The Ticket Timeline let them keep an eye on the previous cases handled for the client in the specific Department or All Department. Within a specific department, agents could also merge tickets for efficient handling.
- To ensure visibility across departments, the Share Ticket Option allowed teams to share tickets with different departments while maintaining appropriate access controls such as Full Access, Restricted Access, or Read-Only Access.
