Alternativa ao WPMU DEV criada para agências que lidam com clientes

Introduction

WPMUDEV’s The Hub is a slick dashboard offering the ability to manage multiple WordPress sites with some cool automation features built in. However it offers no ability for agencies to manage their clients’ support requests, resulting in agencies needing yet another product to sit alongside it in order for them to handle their entire support & maintenance service. - Phil Storey, Founder of Glow

When it comes to managing multiple WordPress websites, finding the right tools is crucial for efficiency and client satisfaction. While WPMUDEV’s The Hub offers impressive features for site management, it lacks integrated client support capabilities, leaving agencies searching for a more comprehensive solution.

Let’s dig in.

Why Use a WordPress Management Tool

At Glow, our software manages thousands of WordPress websites, and we speak to WordPress agency owners every day. The top 3 reasons we see agencies investing in WordPress management are:

• Reporting: Sending regular reports to clients to show them the work you’ve been doing to look after their website (prove the value of your service). This helps to keep their client investing in their support and maintenance service month over month, year over year. They solve this currently by using a product like Glow or by manually generating the reports each month using software like Adobe.
• Handling Support Requests from Clients: Many agencies still use email for handling support requests from clients, which is far from an ideal solution for a team of developers.
• Keeping on Top of WordPress Updates: Customers will either still be doing this manually, logging in and out of each website to run updates or they’ll be using a platform like Glow.

If we had to pick one word to summarise the value these platforms provide, it would be efficiency. The way we have seen successful agency owners grow their businesses is by improving efficiency and leveraging technology and automation.
