• Maintain proactive communication with clients to update them on the status of ongoing issues.
• Deliver exceptional customer service by addressing support queries with professionalism and urgency.
• Ensure that all interactions with customers reflect a high level of service and support
• Documentation and Reporting:
• Accurately log all support requests and incidents in the Salesforce system.
• Maintain detailed documentation to facilitate seamless handovers and future reference.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently.
