What do you like best about Shelf?

User friendly, with different content types to choose from for content creators. This platform serves as a go-to tool for agents, as long as it is being updated consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Uploading of long articles/docs may not be efficient when handling a customer interaction, hence, short guides or FAQs are much helpful. Furthermore, if the content is outdated, this can lead to long handling time which may impact customer and employee satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shelf:

Providing feedback will help improve its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shelf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Excessive tools for agents. This platform that can be incorporated with another main system, will streamline processes and increase satisfaction for both your employees and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

You know how you have that one article or document somewhere on your computer, but you can't remember exactly what it's called or where you saved it? Shelf solves this problem through a truly smart AI that makes everything uploaded to the system completely searchable. Whether or not the folders your organization creates are intuitive to all of the users, the search function is so powerful and easy to use that finding what you are looking for is simple. Then, through a system of tags and favourites, you can save your most frequently used documents to find them even more quickly. In addition, using either tags or folders, it's easy to explore what others have uploaded, and the AI makes helpful suggestions for uploads that might be related to what you are looking for, learning more every time you use it. If something is missing, users can request it, and a rating system allows the "best" uploads to rise to the top. The more people in your system are using Shelf, the smarter and more helpful it gets: crowdsourcing at it's best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

As a migraine sufferer, the massive amount of white in the background is troublesome. It would be really helpful to have a dark mode. Also, early users of the system in a particular organization will need encouragement to keep at it, because the AI needs data to be effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shelf:

Most helpful for organizations that need a central, searchable location to share resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shelf solving and how is that benefiting you?

I enjoy both being able to find good information and helpful documents quickly, and being able to share my favourites with other clinicians. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

The ability to seamlessly search and filter on documents that we're looking for is definitely the best feature. The admin features and insight reports are also super useful for promoting growth, content maintainance, and up-to-date documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Manually tagging, producing, and writing your own content is the most disliked feature. If it had the advanced technology to automate some of the features then the experience would be phenomonal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shelf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Improving lead time, transparency, and better training & education are the benefits that we've realized. The problems that we're solving is cleaning up old legacy documentation that has been plaguing our company due to disorganization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
