Challenge
Plickers empowers thousands of teachers to engage and assess students efficiently. But its rapid growth exposed gaps in support. Teachers needing help during lessons often faced slow or confusing guidance. Imagine a teacher facing a scanning error mid-lesson: without fast support, their confidence and lesson flow could unravel. The existing system struggled with:
Ticket resolutions often exceeded 48 hours, frustrating teachers and risking class disruptions.
Educators received inconsistent troubleshooting advice, leading to ongoing confusion.
Recurring problems weren’t well-documented, preventing proactive fixes.
Developer teams were slow to receive critical user feedback and bug reports.
These issues strained internal resources and risked customer loyalty. Valuable user insights weren’t captured, product improvement lagged, and teacher trust was at stake. Plickers urgently needed an expert solution,one that would deliver fast, empathetic support and help close the gap between users and the dev team.

RepMeUp embedded a specialized Technical Support Expert within the Plickers team, acting as both first responder and conduit for user feedback.
