We did download and upgraded our client and noticed few changes overall "With 5.5 we’ve taken the most fully integrated eCommerce / CRM / ERP solution and made it even better with the addition of a two entirely new modules – live chat and shipping"
New Chat module catches attention for business owners since you don't have to pay expensive fees to integrate this on your eCommerce website. It took few hrs to read through chat documentation and set it up but once hooked it really adds value to your website.
You can setup different chat rooms for Sales, Returns and other departments and have the client/agents installed on your sales rep workstation and be able to monitor your web traffic and answer any question that's asked or you can invoke a conversation with the shoppers and help them by pushing the URL for the right product they are looking for, it really helps in conversion
We will update more as we learn about the new features in 5.5 so stay tuned ...
