How Three18 Streamlined Ticket Bottlenecks with Chatgenie’s Slack-Embedded Service App

Three18 is a holistic IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) that delivers enterprise-quality IT for the media and entertainment industries. 

Evan Dumouchel, VP and GM of Three18's LA HQ, sat down with our team to unpack:

1. How Chatgenie improves Three18’s end-customer experience
2. Moving away from ticket-laden bottlenecks and service requests
3. The value in a white-glove partner that scales alongside your team

How Chatgenie Tangibly Improves the End-User Experience

For Three18, user experience is non-negotiable. 

In fact, one of their core values is to make sure their technology improves the lives of both clients and teams. Chatgenie allows Three18th to directly elevate the support experience.

And, Three18’s customers love using Chatgenie.

 Evan attributes this customer satisfaction to two distinct factors: 

1. Chatgenie keeps all tickets and conversations on record and makes them searchable
2. Chatgenie helps MSP support teams focus on delivering solutions — not ticket routing

Chatgenie’s Records Make It Easy to Troubleshoot

In Evan’s words, troubleshooting often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. You’re trying to pinpoint what’s changed within your tech environment. 

This can be brutal to attempt with an email and–even worse–in a one-off SMS or an unintegrated chat-based request to an individual tech from a client. 

Meanwhile, Chatgenie loops every support conversation into Three18's ticketing system. As such, reviewing an old ticket or chat is as easy as searching your Inbox. 

"You're able to use Chatgenie forensically for helpful information," Evan explains. “Resolving a client issue can be as simple as scrolling back to find info from a previous exchange.” 

Clients also love seeing a list of their open tickets every time they access Three18’s custom Microsoft Teams or Slack app. This enables two more perks: 

1. Clients get real-time, personalized follow-ups from the Three18 team
2. They often work with Three18 reps who’ve assisted them in the past, fostering a sense of familiarity and white-glove service without opening a way around your support funnel

Chatgenie Enables Reps to Streamline Ticket Bottlenecks

Before Chatgenie, the assigned technical point of contact for a Three18 client would open up their inbox and see requests from up to 200 users. They’d immediately be flooded by tickets, forcing them to start routing requests to clean up the workspace. 

This created bottlenecks, preventing client teams from focusing on their actual jobs. Today, Evan says Chatgenie has been a huge contributor to alleviating that pressure. 

Chatgenie enables MSPs to provide support directly within clients’ existing Slack and Teams environments. By restructuring Three18’s support workflow, their points of contact can focus on actually delivering the best client experience possible — not routing tickets. 

Working with Chatgenie’s White-Glove, Embedded Team

For a positive B2B SaaS experience, the leadership at any vendor company demonstrates: 

1. The skills and knowledge needed to create the best tooling in their category
2. The dedication to collaborating with users and creating the best CX possible

In Evan's opinion, the Chatgenie team stands out on both fronts. 

He describes us as “extremely open to listening” and “extremely helpful” in explaining Chatgenie’s development, responding to client needs and feedback, and introducing new ways to optimize the Three18 support experience. 

If he messages about a use case or specific product functionality, he can expect a response within 20 minutes. Ultimately, Evan looks forward to continuing to grow alongside Chatgenie. 

After all, the tech is scalable, while the team is clearly invested in the success of both Three18 and Three18’s client pool.
