The New Normal: Remote Support Challenges in Canada
Remote work is here to stay. In Canada, 32% of employees work remotely as of 2025, and this includes a significant portion of customer support teams. While remote work has many benefits, it also brings specific challenges for support teams:
- Delayed Collaboration
Remote agents often face communication gaps, especially when juggling multiple tools or time zones. - Impersonal Customer Interactions
Many AI-driven systems, such as those offered by competitors like Intercom or Ada, feel cold and robotic. Customers crave a human touch but are often met with canned responses. - Lack of Context
Traditional customer support platforms fail to provide agents with full access to customer history and ongoing issues, leading to slower resolutions. - Cultural Diversity
Canada’s multicultural population demands culturally sensitive support, something many AI solutions struggle to deliver.
These challenges require next-generation solutions, and Supportify is leading the way with its innovative empathy-driven platform.
