What is Chat Desk?

Chat Desk is an easy-to-use web-based application that enables real-time communication with your customers via a single web interface. It allows your customers to contact you via multiple channels while your customer service agents manage and respond to these customer messages from one, central web-based agent desk. Chat Desk also makes monitoring queries, chats, agent performance, and SLAs easier so you can ensure your customers are receiving the best and most efficient service.
