Managing Complex Knowledge for Customer Support
B2B software companies face a unique set of challenges in delivering exceptional customer support.
B2B software products:
- Are highly technical
- Require detailed knowledge
- Often involve complex integrations.
- Support teams must navigate extensive documentation, internal knowledge bases, and customer histories to provide accurate and timely responses. The inefficiencies of traditional support solutions, such as outdated knowledge management tools, disconnected ticketing systems, and overburdened agents, often lead to long resolution times and frustrated customers.

How Implicit Solves the Support Challenge
Should You Build or Buy Your AI-Driven Support Solution?
(Spoiler: You Should Probably Buy)
- Many technology companies are tempted to build their own AI Product Support solution, because they have the knowledge and sometimes even the technical capability in-house to do so. However, just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Building an AI-powered knowledge and support system internally is a costly and resource-intensive endeavor. It requires:
Developing an AI-based knowledge graph requires ongoing data processing, NLP modeling, and maintenance, consuming valuable development bandwidth.
AI models must be fine-tuned regularly to keep up with evolving product offerings and customer interactions.
A custom solution could take years to perfect, whereas Implicit delivers immediate value. By leveraging Implicit’s pre-built AI platform, B2B software companies gain instant access to best-in-class AI models trained specifically for support, without diverting internal engineering resources.

Why You Shouldn’t Build It Yourself
Can You Just Use Salesforce or Zendesk Instead of Buying Another Solution?
- While platforms like Salesforce Service Cloud and Zendesk offer ticketing and basic AI-powered chatbots, they fall short in handling deep, technical knowledge for complex B2B software. These tools:
They store information but lack the ability to dynamically structure and contextualize it for support interactions.
Standard AI chatbots are generic and struggle to understand the intricacies of enterprise software; Implicit’s AI is tailored for B2B tech.
They require manual input and updates, whereas Implicit automates knowledge extraction from diverse repositories.
Salesforce and Zendesk optimize workflow efficiency, but they do not enhance the actual intelligence behind responses like Implicit does.
