A powerful yet easy to operate chat and SMS/text service platform


Dedicated support team

RefChatter is a hosted, web based solution with no IT resources required for implementation or ongoing support. Altarama's dedicated support team provides all the resources necessary for a successful service through implementation assistance, training, and support.

Flexibility in staffing

Using RefChatter any number of staff can monitor multiple queues and can maintain multiple, concurrent online reference sessions.  You can even share staffing responsibilities through consortia or via RefStaffing.

Integration with RefTracker and RefTracker Express

With RefChatter, if a chat guest needs further research, you can tag the chat for follow up in your RefTracker system. It will create a request in RefTracker that is assigned to the appropriate staff for resolution.
