About us

Profile

SHA is a result of our journey over the past 25 years in the Customer Experience – Contact Center world, helping companies and customers conduct their interactions on a daily basis. It has been a kind of heroic journey from the 90s to this near-science-fiction world, where almost any idea can become reality in a few short months. And we have learned a lot.

We have learned that customers:

  • are getting more and better informed, and tech experts are exposed to competition like never before.
  • are conscious of their money and time.
  • are difficult to get and easy to lose.
  • are normally faster than companies.

The aim of SHA is to help companies deal with this customer environment in the digital world, from a customer’s perspective. This challenge is approached from a dual perspective: end customers and internal users.

Based in Galicia, Spain, we develop software solutions for unique customer interaction in the digital space, boosting customer skills to accelerate information gathering or problem solving. The approach is simple: the customer asks questions and useful suggestions are provided.

Mission, Vision & Values

SHA’s mission is to provide a unique set of tools to help best-in-class organizations to drive their knowlegde management.

Our vision is to become the provider of choice in the knowledge management arena, leading the digital transformation. We aim to be a global player in the industry

Our values as organization are simple, but strong:

  • We have to be one step ahead of customers & clients: Innovation matters
  • Clients are always first: No is not an option.
  • We are as good as our people: Investing in our people is the key to success.

Expertise

Technology

As previously indicated, at SHA we are committed to providing unique tools to drive the digital customer experience. This defines our technology roadmap: we have chosen as a company to develop our software using open source platforms, with integration capabilities that allow us to run our Front End widgets in any digital environment. Due to this choice, we are able to run our backend software in nearly any infrastructure.

Industry

Our team brings together vast experience in the Customer Experience world, in many industrial & public sectors, helping blue chip companies in their customer service delivery.

From global e-commerce to local software developers, this comprehensive experience allows us to benchmark different strategies and approaches to Customer Experience.

This background framed the design of our software, striving for the ability to define key metrics for any business environment, linked to customer behavior drivers. The “liason” of customer expectations and digital Customer Experience management drives the SHA philosophy.
