It’s fair to say that as software and digital technologies become further and further intertwined with all that we do, consumers’ standards and expectations for the quality of their service staff have risen. Where once software companies were assumed to have off-shored call centers with lacking knowledge and inadequate communication, much to the exasperation of their clients, times have changed.
Get in touch with our live chat services and see how 24 hour answering service will respond.
Now, with virtual receptionist providers like Abby Connect, no longer do your customers have to suffer through mismanaged calls that sit on-hold for tens of minutes, undertrained, understaffed call center reps who are just trying to pass them off to the next available roadblock in their journey for assistance, or worst of all, the dreaded robo-receptionist. You can be assured with Abby that all calls will be answered promptly and politely, and that will guarantee higher customer reviews and differentiate your tech company from competitors.
IT, SaaS or ISVs: Abby Meets Your Needs

These services are instrumental in your success, but they only scratch the surface of what Abby can provide. Here’s some convenient services we also offer that you should consider.
The AbbyGO App: Making ‘On-the-Go’ Easy

Convenience cannot be overstated these days, especially for business owners who are being pulled in so many different directions. At Abby, your ease-of-use and happiness are at the heart of our operations
Live Chat: Human Interaction Built-in
Have a website lacking in the human touch? Let Abby provide service to your clients without them ever having to leave your landing page. Our Live Chat services are separate from our strictly live receptionist services, but the two are easily integrated and packaged together based on your business’s needs.
While Chatbots have become standard within most large software companies websites, few choose to differentiate with a real human behind the chat. This can cause client frustration as they attempt to properly answer their questions within a very limited set of pre-defined options and no quick way to receive the answers they require. Abby circumvents those frustrations and serves your live chat clients to the same expectations as our phone services.
Don’t think you’ll need live chat? Consider that forty-one percent of people prefer live chat to communicate with companies. In addition to its phone answering service, Abby can connect with your customers through live chat and answer even the most complex inquiries effortlessly. Plus, we offer post chat surveys to obtain necessary feedback to improve your customer experience.
Make A Positive Customer Experience Your Differentiator
In an ever-expanding digital environment with competitors offering comparable software services, your biggest differentiator is how you treat your clients. Out-sourcing the customer experience to Abby is a surefire way to standout. Not only do our services save you money over hiring an in-house receptionist—The average receptionist in the U.S. earns $31,110 a year, not to mention the cost of on-boarding and inability to handle a high call volume—you gain revenue by winning repeat customers and building brand loyalty.
It’s easier than ever to begin using Abby as your alternative to 24 hour answering services for software companies, contact centers and chatbots. Our pricing plans are perfect for your software companies growing budget and our no-risk, 14-day free trial mitigates any concerns. There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain.
