Eliminating CX Gaps with Samesurf Cobrowse

Samesurf invented modern co-browsing.

Today’s customers expect fast, frictionless and personalized service experiences. Whether they’re opening a bank account, navigating a healthcare portal or troubleshooting software, many companies struggle with what are known as “CX blindspots.” These are those frustrating moments where the customer journey breaks down and the net result is confusion, dissatisfaction or abandonment.

CX blindspots can be small such as unclear user interface instructions or significant within experiences when a customer gets stuck during a critical purchase step. These blindspots can’t always be fixed with static guides or AI chatbots. They demand real-time visibility and human guidance. That’s where Samesurf Cobrowse shines.

Samesurf Cobrowse is a real-time, visual collaboration tool that lets customer support agents and sales professionals instantly see and interact with the same content as the customer in real time – without downloads, screen sharing or privacy sacrifices. Samesurf Cobrowse is redefining the standards for customer experience by eliminating ambiguity and helping businesses squash blindspots across the entire digital journey.

What are CX Blindspots?

CX blindspots are the hidden disconnects between what customers expect and what your interfaces, systems, or teams actually provide. These are the moments when a customer feels lost, unsure where to click, what to do next, or why something isn’t working. Meanwhile, businesses remain unaware that anything is wrong.

These moments might look like:

• A user stalling at a complex form step during a sign-up process;
  
• A prospect who is unable to find critical feature information during a product tour;
  
• A policyholder struggling to upload documents to a claims portal; and
  
• A senior customer failing to navigate a telehealth onboarding screen.
  

These pain points often fly under the radar of traditional analytics and surveys. Heatmaps and funnel data tell you where people drop off but not why. That’s why identifying and closing these CX blindspots requires more than just better UX, it demands shared visual understanding in real time.

Samesurf Cobrowse: Seeing What the Customer Sees

Unlike screen sharing, Samesurf Cobrowse doesn’t require customers to download software, share their full screen or expose sensitive data. Instead, it creates a shared co-browsing experience inside the existing webpage while allowing agents to guide, click, highlight and even fill out fields on the customer’s behalf (with permissions). It’s fully web-native, secure and seamless.

This real-time “co-navigation” capability enables support and sales teams to squash blindspots at the exact moment they appear. No more relying on vague customer descriptions like “It’s not working” or “I don’t see that button.” With Samesurf Cobrowse, the agent can immediately see what the user is seeing and act accordingly.

Real-World Examples of Eliminating CX Gaps with Samesurf Cobrowse

1. Financial Services: Fixing Application Drop-Offs

Banks and fintech companies often lose customers mid-application due to confusion around income verification or form logic. With Samesurf Cobrowse, an agent can step in during the application process, point to the exact field the customer is missing, and even walk them through uploading the right document, all in real time. This reduces abandonment and increases conversion rates.

2. Healthcare: Helping Patients Navigate Digital Care

From insurance eligibility checks to patient onboarding, digital healthcare journeys can overwhelm patients, especially those who are older or less tech-savvy. Samesurf Cobrowse allows care coordinators to guide patients through portals, e-forms or telehealth tools. This hands-on help ensures patients don’t miss appointments or delay care due to tech confusion.

3. SaaS: Accelerating Onboarding and Troubleshooting

Software onboarding and technical support often stall when users misinterpret instructions or struggle to find features. With Samesurf Cobrowse, success teams can instantly hop into the customer’s interface, demonstrate product usage or resolve bugs in context. This eliminates guesswork and fosters trust with new users.

4. E-commerce: Recovering Cart Abandonments

In online retail, every second counts. A confused shopper is a lost sale. Samesurf Cobrowse empowers support teams to intervene during checkout, help locate coupon fields, explain shipping options, and close sales in real time.  These benefits turn hesitation into conversion.

Beyond Fixing: Samesurf Cobrowse as a CX Differentiator

While Samesurf Cobrowse excels at plugging CX holes, its true power lies in creating delightful experiences. It transforms digital support from reactive problem solving into proactive relationship building.

When customers see that your team can instantly understand their issue without going back-and-forth, their confidence in your brand skyrockets. They feel seen, supported, and less stressed. This emotional satisfaction drives loyalty, word-of-mouth and lifetime value.

Furthermore, Samesurf Cobrowse elevates your team. Agents can focus on helping, not decoding, supervisors can track interactions with greater clarity, and marketing teams can learn where real customers are struggling by using session data to improve design and messaging.

Security and Privacy: Trust at the Core

A major advantage of Samesurf Cobrowse is its security-first approach. Unlike screen sharing tools that show everything on a user’s desktop, Samesurf Cobrowse is confined to the website environment while masking sensitive data fields like passwords or credit card info. It adheres to strict compliance standards including HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, PCI DSS and more.

This allows regulated industries such as healthcare, finance and education to use Samesurf Cobrowse with confidence by offering human help while maintaining user privacy and institutional integrity.

Scaling Human Connection

One of the most powerful aspects of Samesurf Cobrowse is its scalability. Through seamless CRM and live chat integrations, Samesurf co-browsing can be launched instantly within existing workflows. Agents can guide multiple sessions, supervisors can monitor interactions and customers can initiate sessions from any device without friction.

This means organizations can deliver white-glove service at scale, without ballooning costs. Samesurf Cobrowse empowers even lean CX teams to have a disproportionately positive impact across the funnel, from acquisition to retention.

The ROI of Eliminating CX Blindspots

The hidden cost of CX blindspots is high. Each moment of customer frustration risks:

• Higher support volume and handle times
  
• Missed revenue opportunities
  
• Negative reviews or churn
  
• Poor CSAT and NPS scores
  

By closing these gaps with Samesurf Cobrowse, businesses see measurable ROI:

• Higher conversion rates and faster onboarding
  
• Lower cart abandonment and fewer escalations
  
• Increased customer satisfaction and retention
  
• Empowered agents with lower training costs
  

It’s not just about saving a sale—it’s about transforming the overall experience from frustrating to fluid.
