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.

However, for bot-specific reports, you'll need to access them separately in the Freshchat reports section.


Analytics in Customer Service Suite 

With 13 pre-built reports, Analytics in Customer Service Suite is designed to address common conversational and ticketing requirements. You can also create custom reports of your choice and drill down into specific data that you want to view.

Agents and Roles

Agents in Omnichannel by default have access to Freshdesk. Admins can also restrict access to phone and chat.

With Customer Service Suite, agents by default will have access to Freshchat but Admins can disable the capability to handle tickets and phone calls.

6. Channel Switcher

7. Ticket Creation from Calls

1) During migration from Omnichannel to Customer Service Suite, you won't be able to create tickets from phone calls.


2) In Omnichannel, tickets will be created automatically for voicemail, abandoned, and missed calls. In Customer Service Suite, by default tickets will not be created for voicemail, abandoned and missed calls. Tickets will be created for calls handled in the Freshdesk widget automatically when notes are added for the call.
To create tickets for all types of calls automatically, Go to Admin Settings > Marketplace and Integrations > Conversation Integrations > Freshdesk > Preferences > and toggle on Convert all phone conversations to tickets
