Step into the future of seamless customer support as we explore the differences between the conventional Omnichannel system and the groundbreaking innovation: Customer Service Suite.

Primary Interface

In an Omnichannel setup, Freshdesk serves as the central interface, seamlessly integrating with Freshchat and offering built-in support for Freshcaller. Within the Customer Service Suite, agents primarily use Freshchat as the interface, with Freshdesk integrated natively, and Freshcaller available as a paid add-on.
