We already use a HelpDesk extension that was developed by Aheadworks, but we wanted to add more functionality. We needed a sophisticated tool that could help our customer service team handle tickets sent by customers.

We brought on Aheadworks to enable HTML formatting for our customer tickets so that we could respond to customer emails with embedded hyperlinks and rich text formatting. We also asked to add a tab in Magento's customer profile pages that would show us every HelpDesk ticket that’s been sent to and from each customer.

Our website designers recommended Aheadworks when we built our first Magento 1 site several years ago. We’ve used many of their extensions since that time and continue to use their products for our new Magento 2 site.

Aheadworks evaluated our requests and sent an estimate with a statement of work for approval. Once it was approved, we granted their developers access to our site, and they deployed the requested changes. They implemented each task on a development site for testing, and then published the updates to our live site.

Since our project was fairly simple, we dealt directly with one developer from Aheadworks. I am unaware of the team composition on their end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Aheadworks' extension customizations have helped our customer service team provide better, more direct responses to customer email inquiries. We've been able to reduce the time we spend searching for a customer's ticket history because now we have direct links on our customer profile pages.

Our communication with Aheadworks was simple and direct. All communication happened over email, and we were able to give feedback and see results in a timely manner.

I love Aheadworks' willingness to provide customizations to their existing extensions to meet our unique needs. They were fast to respond to us and provided frequent progress updates. From what I can tell, they always pay attention to their customers' requests.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We were very happy with our working relationship with Aheadworks. The only area I could think to improve would be more specificity about the ETA for the project completion, but this is a very minor concern.
