The reality of your day-to-day
Customers chasing you, requests getting lost, teams improvising: disorganized support costs far more than you think.
"Requests come in by email, WhatsApp, sometimes by phone. Everyone handles them in their own corner. We don't know who dealt with what, we lose track of cases, and customers chase us because they have zero visibility. We know it's holding back our growth, but we don't know where to start."
Email, WhatsApp, phone: every channel lives its own life. Impossible to know whether a request was handled, by whom, and when.
The history lives in a few people's heads ... and on their personal WhatsApp. Sick leave, someone leaves: open cases fall into a void.
How many requests this month? Average response time? Which customers contact you most? Without data, you can't anticipate or improve.
Unhappy customers who don't renew. Maintenance contracts not offered. Repairs not billed. Disorganized support is a cost center that should be a growth lever.
The vicious cycle of technical support
"Support quality depends on a handful of key people. The day one of them leaves, the expertise walks out too. Hiring doesn't fix it: qualified profiles are scarce, and ramp-up takes months. Expertise must live in a system, not just in people's heads."
Your best people spend their days firefighting. They have no time or appetite to document. Know-how piles up in their heads — and nowhere else.
With no accessible knowledge base, every new technician can only learn by shadowing. For 6 to 18 months, juniors depend on experts; experts are constantly interrupted, and customers wait.
The answer depends on who's available that day. One expert on vacation, traveling, or sick — and the team can't deliver. Your customers feel abandoned.
Every departure takes years of accumulated know-how. No document, no tool compensates. You almost start from zero — growth is capped; it's a vicious circle.
The reality of your day-to-day
"We get 60 calls a day with 3 people. Requests pile up and some go unanswered. Urgent cases get buried. Billable work never happens. Customers go to competitors. Teams are stressed and discouraged."
Without a response, customers call back and follow up. The same case takes three times as long.
Up to 50% of your agents’ time is spent handling repetitive questions rather than advising and selling.
Every request left unhandled is a repair or a contract that will never be billed.
Overloaded, without visibility or suitable tools, teams burn out—in a context of staff shortages.
The reality of your day-to-day
"The customer calls. They try to describe the problem in their own words and from their own understanding, but it doesn't help the diagnosis. A lot of back-and-forth begins, sometimes even a site visit. Five days later, the problem could have been fixed in two hours with a quick diagnosis."
On the phone, a technical description doesn’t get through. Across borders, language blocks you. The technician interprets and gropes forward.
To solve a case, you have to bring in engineering, the distributor, the supplier, and more. Each on a different channel. Nothing is centralized.
The case has almost certainly been handled before. But the expert is unreachable. So you start from scratch, it costs money, and the customer waits.
A technician arrives on site. Misdiagnosed remotely, they don’t have the right skills or the right equipment. Costs skyrocket — and so does pressure on the customer.
What FIXEE does in practice
FIXEE centralizes your exchanges by email, WhatsApp, and WebChat. Your customers change nothing. Your teams find everything in one place.
Email, WhatsApp, web chat: every request lands in a single workspace. No more exchanges lost in inboxes or on individual WhatsApp accounts. Every case is tracked, assigned, and followed, with a full history.
Every request automatically creates a ticket. Your teams know what's urgent, what's waiting, and who's on it. No more duplicates, no more missed cases, no retyping.
Your AI assistant welcomes and pre-qualifies new requests, answers frequent questions, 24/7. It escalates complex cases when needed, with full context. Your teams focus on what needs their expertise.
Satisfaction survey after every resolution. Volume, response time, resolution time, load per channel and per team member, etc.: all statistics are visible in real time on your analytical dashboard. You run your service with quantitative and qualitative data.
An intervention report is automatically generated for each ticket and feeds the knowledge base. All teams find information instantly via Askia Hotliner. When someone is absent or leaves, the knowledge stays available.
What FIXEE does in practice
A virtuous cycle: every resolution enriches the knowledge base, without pulling your teams away from their mission
Recurring questions — standard procedures, spare parts, manuals — are handled automatically by the multilingual AI assistant Askia Client, 24/7. Your experts are no longer interrupted for requests a junior could handle.
Email, WhatsApp, web chat: your customers and distributors reach you on the channel of their choice. Everything is centralized in the FIXEE Console. Every exchange is translated instantly for each participant, up to 20 people on the same case.
Every intervention automatically generates a structured report. No more end-of-day data entry. Your documentation base grows naturally, with every resolution.
Askia Hotliner gives access to all accumulated expertise (intervention reports, technical documentation, procedures, etc.) in a single question. Teams find answers and their sources instantly. Ramp-up is faster, and so is resolution time.
What FIXEE does in practice
AI takes recurring questions off your team's plate so they can focus on what matters
Your assistant welcomes every new request instantly. It pre-qualifies and answers frequent questions. When needed, it escalates to your teams with full context.
Email, WhatsApp, web chat: your customers contact you where they prefer; everything lands in one screen. No more exchanges lost in shared inboxes or WhatsApp groups. Every request is tracked, assigned, and followed up.
When it's hard to understand each other for remote diagnosis or resolution, video starts in one click. The customer shows; your agent guides. Unnecessary travel is eliminated.
When Askia Client cannot answer, it escalates. Your agent sees what the AI doesn't know yet and can enrich the knowledge base. Next time, Askia will know. Less volume for your teams, instant, higher-quality answers for your customers.
What FIXEE does in practice
Interactive video assistance, centralized collaboration, instant translation, and AI-activated knowledge: four levers to cut your resolution times
The customer shows their situation in one click, with no app to install. The technician annotates the feed in real time, captures HD photos remotely, and guides the fix. The session is recorded; the report is generated automatically.
Right diagnosis the first time. Unnecessary travel eliminated.
Bring colleagues, distributors, and suppliers onto one case in one click, via email, WhatsApp, or SMS. Internal exchanges stay confidential, separate from the customer thread.
Collective intelligence mobilized instantly. In full confidentiality.
Customer in Brazil, technician in France, supplier in Germany: everyone exchanges in their own language. FIXEE translates instantly across 40+ languages. The language barrier is no longer a hurdle to resolution.
Language is no longer a barrier. Distance neither.
Before calling the expert, the technician asks Askia Hotliner. Past reports, documentation, procedures: similar cases surface in one question, with sources. Knowledge builds with every operation and strengthens with every intervention.
The right information, at the right moment — without depending on one person.
