PayShepherd cuts response times by 40% and achieves 100% CSAT with Intercom

The problem

PayShepherd's existing Jira Service Management platform was overwhelmed by a fast-growing customer base, causing delayed responses, decreased customer satisfaction, poor reporting visibility, manual workflows, and difficulty tracking complex tickets that frequently duplicated effort across agents.

First attempt

Jira Service Management lacked robust reporting, required manual workflows, and had no clear mechanism to track complex long-running tickets, resulting in duplicated agent effort and customer frustration.
