Zoho Desk
Commonly comparedTicket history for an Indian SMB
Zoho Desk is the helpdesk many small Indian teams already pay for. Keep it for history. The Mecverse assistant is the first answer on the website and WhatsApp.
Why now
Customers expect an answer before a small team can always respond. A useful assistant should cover the predictable questions, capture a real enquiry, and make it obvious when a person needs to take over.
What to avoid
Avoid publishing a generic chatbot before it knows your actual prices, service boundaries, hours, and escalation path. Fast answers that are wrong cost more than no answer.
How to roll it out
Start with the 20 questions your team answers repeatedly. Test them with real wording, publish on one channel, and review missed or handed-off conversations every week.
