// Overview & Advantages of the Talkdesk and Freshdesk Integration // Talkdesk brings all the benefits of an enterprise-level call center to your business. // Freshdesk is a great tool to help your business maintain and strengthen customer relationships. In a typical situation (without the integration) agents receive a call, ask the caller their name, open Freshdesk and hope that the information about the customer is up-to-date. Then, they most likely manually enter information into the Freshdesk while the customer is on the call. This inefficient process can result in confusion, disorganization and a decline in customer satisfaction and sales. The Talkdesk Freshdesk integration resolves these issues. // 5
