InstantService provides integrated chat, email management, knowledge base and lead capture solutions, enabling businesses to increase sales and improve customer service.    
 
 
InstantService Chat Client
The InstantService Chat Client is the technology by which customers on your website interact with agents using the Agent Console. The client is fully customizable, fast-loading and requires no downloads or installations by your customers.

Features

Customization
InstantService offers the most customizable chat client in the industry. All colors, text, agent pictures, and logos can be defined in the Account Administration Utility. The chat client can be configured to run horizontally (600x160), vertically (500x320), or even in a HTML frame (variable).
HTML Chat Client
InstantService provides an HTML version of its chat client to ensure operability on all computers, without anything to download or install.
Pre-Chat Customer Form
A simple form to receive customer information prior to the chat can be configured from the Account Administration Utility.
Advanced Customer Form
The Advanced Customer Form permits direct posting of customer information to the InstantService Agent Console to initiate a chat for greater customization and integration.
InstantInvite™
Automatically identify visitors with the greatest potential to buy, based on which pages they have visited, how long they remained on a page, where they came from, which keyword they used to find you, which items they have in their shopping cart, and whether they have previously purchased from your site. Shoppers receive customized chat invitations based on rules that can be adjusted easily in real-time (without changing code on your website). Your agents are automatically connected to these customers to offer assistance, incentives, and suggest related items to up-sell.
Automatic Queue Distribution (AQD)
InstantService offers a queue distribution model that automatically assigns new customer chat and/or mail sessions to agents based on their availability, skill and performance. In a customer support scenario, Automatic Queue Distribution streamlines agent workflow and reduces customer wait times. In a sales scenario, the new system fairly assigns incoming sessions to commission-earning agents in sequence, based on their individual skill and priority settings.
Smart Button
This feature allows two snippets of HTML code to be defined and then served based on whether agents are available to receive chats for the department. A common use of the Smart Button is to display a Chat Button on a website while agents are logged in, and an Email Button when agents are not.
After-Hours Message
If the Smart Button isn't used, an After-Hours message can be configured to appear when agents are not available, along with a form to accept an email message. Hours of operation can be set for each day of the week.
Print Transcript
A chatting customer can print a record of the transcript at anytime.
Email Transcript
At the end of the chat session, the customer has the option to have the transcript emailed to him/her.
Exit Survey
The account administrator can enable a customizable survey to appear after chat sessions.
International Characters
Chatting customers can type characters from any Unicode supported language assigned to the department.
Queue Position Notification
The account administrator can enable and customize periodic notification messages to inform a customer of his/her position while waiting in a queue.
Secure Connection
128-bit SSL encryption secures all communication between the chat client and the Agent Console. All SSL connections are decrypted by hardware for the best possible performance..
