Introduction

Customer experience isn't just a buzzword for enterprise companies. For small businesses, it's the difference between a one-time buyer and a lifelong advocate.

The problem? Most SMBs manage customer experience with a patchwork of tools — Trello for projects, Zendesk for support, Google Drive for file sharing, and email for everything else. That's 4 logins, 4 subscriptions, and zero unified view of your customer.

Dewx CX Hub changes that. Here's everything you need to know to get started.

Getting Started with CX Hub

Step 1: Set Up Your Workspace

When you first open CX Hub, you'll see three main sections:

• Projects — Active client work with tasks and deadlines
• Support — Customer tickets and issue tracking
• Knowledge Base — Self-service resources for clients

Start by creating your first project:

1. Click "New Project"
2. Name it (e.g., "Website Redesign — Client ABC")
3. Choose a template or start blank
4. Add team members
5. Set milestones and deadlines

Step 2: Create Your First Project

Project structure in CX Hub:

Project: Website Redesign — Client ABC
├── Phase 1: Discovery
│   ├── Client questionnaire ✓
│   ├── Competitor analysis ✓
│   └── Brand guidelines review
├── Phase 2: Design
│   ├── Wireframes
│   ├── Mockups
│   └── Client review & approval
├── Phase 3: Development
│   ├── Frontend build
│   ├── Backend integration
│   └── Testing
└── Phase 4: Launch
    ├── Final review
    ├── DNS migration
    └── Post-launch monitoring

Each task can have:

• Assignee — Who's responsible
• Due date — When it's due
• Priority — Low, Medium, High, Critical
• Status — To Do, In Progress, Review, Done
• Attachments — Files, images, documents
• Comments — Team and client discussions

Step 3: Set Up Customer Support

Ticketing in CX Hub:

1. Create support categories (Billing, Technical, General)
2. Set up auto-assignment rules
3. Define SLA targets (response time, resolution time)
4. Create canned responses for common issues
5. Enable email-to-ticket conversion

Support ticket workflow:

Customer submits issue → Auto-categorized → Assigned to team member → Response sent → Resolution tracked → Satisfaction survey sent

Step 4: Enable Client Collaboration

The Client Portal:

Give clients a dedicated space where they can:

• View project progress in real-time
• Approve deliverables without email
• Submit feedback on specific items
• Access shared files and documents
• Track support tickets they've submitted
• See upcoming milestones and deadlines

Pro Tip: The client portal eliminates "Where are we on this?" emails. Clients can check progress anytime, and you look professional and organized.

FAQ

What types of businesses benefit most from CX Hub?

CX Hub is ideal for service businesses that manage ongoing client relationships — agencies, consultants, freelancers, IT service providers, and professional services firms. Any business that juggles multiple client projects alongside customer support will see immediate value.

Can I use CX Hub without other Dewx modules?

Yes, CX Hub works independently for project management and customer support. However, it becomes significantly more powerful when connected to Portal (unified communication), GTM Hub (sales-to-delivery handoff), and Dew AI (intelligent automation).

How is CX Hub different from Asana or Monday.com?

CX Hub is purpose-built for client-facing work. While Asana and Monday focus on internal task management, CX Hub adds client portals, customer support ticketing, and integration with your CRM and communication tools. It's project management + support + client collaboration in one, not just task tracking.

Does CX Hub include time tracking?

Yes. CX Hub includes built-in time tracking per task and project. You can log hours, set hourly rates per team member, and generate time reports for billing. When connected to OPS Hub, tracked time can automatically generate invoices.
