Collaboration between Customer Support and Operations is crucial for any organization that wants to provide the best possible service to its customers. These teams work together to ensure that customers have a seamless experience, from onboarding to renewals. However, collaboration can be a challenge, especially when teams work remotely or across different time zones. In this blog post, we'll explore how SmartSuite can help improve collaboration between Customer Support and Operations.
