Building an Extensive Knowledgebase: SaaS Company Technical Documentation

Client Problem

The SaaS company recognized the need for a centralized and accessible knowledge base to address common user queries and technical issues. They sought to provide self-service resources that would empower users to troubleshoot common problems on their own, reducing the reliance on customer support agents. The company required technical writers who possessed:

  1. A deep understanding of online SaaS platforms
  2. Those who have worked in creating knowledgebases before
  3. Ability to create user-friendly and easily navigable documentation.

The company agreed that this can be done with the use of AI + Human Review. Additionally, they required the documentation in 2 additional languages, Spanish and Portuguese.

Our Solution

The company partnered with Perfect Documentation, a team of skilled technical writers specializing in creating comprehensive knowledgebase documentation for SaaS companies. The process began by conducting a thorough analysis of the company’s existing support tickets and user queries. This helped identify recurring issues and pain points that needed to be addressed in the documentation.

Perfect Documentation worked closely with the company’s subject matter experts, developers, and customer support team to gather the necessary information. With our technical writing, the company was able to transform complex technical concepts into clear and concise articles. The documentation covered various aspects of the SaaS platform, including setup instructions, troubleshooting guides, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and best practices.

Additionally, we translated the entire documentation into 2 languages, Spanish and Portuguese through the MTPE (Machine Translation Post-editing) Process.

  1. Empowering Users: By providing a comprehensive knowledgebase, the company empowered users to independently resolve common issues and find answers to their queries. This self-service approach saved time for both users and support agents, leading to increased productivity and improved customer satisfaction.
  1. Reducing Support Tickets: With the availability of easily accessible documentation, users found solutions to their problems without having to contact customer support. This resulted in over 40% decrease in support ticket volume, allowing customer support agents to focus on more complex issues and deliver faster response times.
  1. Enhancing Onboarding Process: The knowledgebase documentation played a crucial role in the onboarding process for new users. It provided step-by-step instructions, tutorials, and best practices, enabling users to quickly understand and utilize the SaaS platform’s features. This accelerated the onboarding process and reduced the learning curve for new customers.
  1. Improving User Experience: The user-friendly and well-organized knowledgebase documentation enhanced the overall user experience. Users could easily navigate through the articles, find relevant information, and access helpful resources. This streamlined user experience fostered a positive perception of the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction. As their audience also consisted of Spanish (Spain) and Portuguese (Brazil) speakers, the translated documentation spoke more locally to the people.
