Helpstream enables companies to stop deflecting and start engaging with their customers like never before. Helpstream is designed and developed by a team of experienced professionals with extensive experience in customer service and relationship management solutions. They set out to build a product that would deliver orders of magnitude improvements in service effectiveness and customer satisfaction.

Unlike sales-focused CRM systems, Helpstream is built specifically for Web-driven customer service and support. What's the difference? Most CRM systems in place today are centered on process management, and the only relationships being managed effectively are the relationships between sales representatives and their quotas. They came to the conclusion that companies need to leave behind the illusion of managing customers and instead engage customers on their own terms, as members of a large, vibrant, and self-supporting community. Through the extensive use of social Web technologies deeply integrated with modern customer service and collaboration processes and workflows, Helpstream changes the way companies are able to interact with their customers. Helpstream centers customer interaction not on issue resolution, but on the customer.
