With the new Screensharing feature, you can share content in real-time and navigate through products, offers, or documents together with your customers. Here are some key use cases:

  • Real-time problem solving: If your customers encounter technical issues on your online store, they can use screensharing to show the problem directly to your support team. Your team can see exactly where the issue lies and provide immediate assistance.

  • Interactive product consultation: Does your customer have questions about products on the webshop? With the screensharing feature, you can go through the product pages together, explain features, and answer any questions in real time.

  • B2B collaboration – business figures and orders: Especially in B2B sales, close collaboration is crucial. Your customer can share quarterly figures or demand forecasts via screensharing to help plan orders and identify the right products together.

  • Reviewing contracts and documents: With screensharing, you can go through contracts, offers, and order forms directly with your customer. You can make adjustments together and clarify any questions immediately – saving time and ensuring clear communication.
