Multi-Branded Portals

Multi-Branded Portals are a great way to support many brands or departments on a single helpdesk.

A "parent company" that has one or more subsidiary company's could use a Multi-Branded Portal solution. Much the same as a company that wants to seperate their sales function from the support function. Any correspondence that occurs through the 'Branded Portal' goes to the correct team of Agent's within the organization.

Each Portal within an organization can run on its own domain or sub-domain. Giving the Brand/department a level of autonomy that it may need.

Brands

Multi-brands enable an organization to support different services. Each of the services / brands that it controls are split in a clear and distinct manner. All content can be made available through each individual portal, such as:

1. News
2. Knowledgebase Articles
3. Guides
4. Downloads
5. Feedback
6. Contact Form

You can assign agents to the brands that they know best. You are also able to assign single agent's to multiple brands. Brands links to departments, so that you can set up a contact form for each department. You can attach these contact forms to relevant brands. You can also display brand specific forms by creating unique departments.

Customizing your multi-branded portals

Each portal can have it’s own logo, welcome message, font type and color. You are able to customize each of your Portal's to suit the brand’s needs. You can flick between the various branded Portals to give each brand its own unique tone. There are options for more advanced editing by using our templates or CSS editor.
