So, to elevate the level of customer service Method customers can provide, we created the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Cases app&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt; &amp;mdash; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;an effective tool to track and resolve your customer&amp;rsquo;s concerns or requests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span id="docs-internal-guid-221eb662-207b-3d1d-bae0-fcee52bb4454"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:21.3333px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Why should I be psyched about this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

They can say goodbye to time wasting email threads and spreadsheets because the Cases app makes it easy for the team to create a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;trail of breadcrumbs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14.6667px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt; leading back to the customer&amp;rsquo;s original issue as they work to resolve it. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span id="docs-internal-guid-221eb662-207b-3d1d-bae0-fcee52bb4454"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;And, the Cases app keeps everyone on the same page &amp;mdash; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;no more confusion and miscommunication amongst your team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;, or worse, with your customers. Now, when a customer calls in for an update on their issue, anyone on your team can speak with the customer since &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;everyone is in the loop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.6667px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt; on each customer&amp;rsquo;s case history and real-time status. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

The customer portal also enables your customers to create, comment on, and close their case, which further speeds up the process of resolving each customer issue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
