Elizabeth Cholawsky, President & CEO The key to increasing customer loyalty is a hassle-free customer experience. However, as consumers have increasingly started relying on connected devices, there lies an inherent web of technological complexities, which significantly hinders a shopper’s journey within the entire retail space—starting from consideration, to purchasing, until the final stage of advocacy. “If this complexity is not effectively addressed, it can drive a wedge between the brand and its customers. Companies now understand that every customer touch point is an opportunity or vulnerability for their brands,” points out Alex Poulos, VP of Marketing, Support. com [NASDAQ:SPRT]. With a steadfast campaign to play a lead role in changing the nature of support for customers, Support.com delivers cloud-based software and services for the brands in connected technology industries. “We help them at every stage of the product or service experience, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and brand loyalty,” says Elizabeth Cholawsky, President and CEO, Support.com.
Support.com offers software and support services that enable retailers to enhance consumer relationships, boosting their customer retention rates, and thereby generating newer revenue streams.

Hosted on the cloud, the Nexus Agent Support software helps retailers to heighten agent productivity, by providing systematic troubleshooting procedures to resolve complex technology-related support tickets. The Nexus software for support agents mimics the function of GPS-enabled smartphones for users by guiding agents to solve end-user technical problems. The solution is backed by an easy-to-use interface, which makes it simple for support agents to integrate Guided Paths—modular, snap-together problem resolution workflows—that will inform customers on the best practices of its support organization.
