Freshdesk For WHMCSIsaac Morse (EC Networks, Inc) 6 years agoThis Plugin allowed us to replace the entire existing system with Freshdesk and our clients do not even notice the difference. Took just a few minutes to install and switch over. Now all of our agents can be managed in one place and we have much better flow over customer support throughout the entire organization.
