Service Hub

Service Hub is the customer service software that HubSpot has created. It allows companies to connect with their customers easily so that customer service can be optimised. It means that customers are more likely to exit interaction with a company happily. This is down to Service Hub offering features like tickets, customer feedback and a knowledge base.
