Freshdesk acquires Framebench

Cloud based customer support software firm Freshdesk has acquired Pune based Framebench, an online multimedia file collaboration platform, for an undisclosed amount. This is the fourth acquisition by Freshdesk, starting from the first acquisition of live video chat firm 1CLICK.io in August 2015.
Framebench offers an online platform that enables teams to share, review and comment on videos, images, presentations and documents. With the acquisition of Framebench, support agents can interact with their customers and internal product teams by collaborating on the same file. Framebench, launched in 2013, is funded by Blume ventures and has offered its services to the US Republican Party in its election campaign.

With Framebench, the customer support agent can interact with the product team even as the customer sends a screenshot and use the visual communication platform in realtime while working on knowledge base articles, images or even tutorial videos. This would enable multiple individuals to edit, annotate and review creative files.

Launched in 2010, Freshdesk has 50,000 customers around the world, including 3M, Honda, Hugo Boss, University of Pennsylvania, the Atlantic, and Petronas. The flagship product allows organizations to support customers through email, phone, websites, mobile apps, forums and social media.
