What is a Self-Service Help Center

A self-service help center (also known as self-service portal) is an online support center built by an organization to supply its customer base with consistent and accurate product/service information so that they can resolve their own queries. With a well-developed support center, customers can solve their problems anytime of the day on their own. Typically, savvy businesses use a help center software to create a knowledge repository of instructional articles, FAQs, how-to-videos (which are common self-service support tools) to provide stellar customer service.

Self-service support is on the rise - customers want it and support team need it. According to Forrester, about 70% of consumers prefer self-service option to resolve their support issues than calling or sending an email. Read More: Key things you should know about a Self-service knowledgebase
