What can you do with service automation?
Drive efficiencies, boost productivity, and deliver quality service at scale.
Eliminate manual tasks and boost productivity.
Deliver personalized service and save time with AI built directly into your flow of work. Use Einstein to analyze historical case data and automatically classify and route them to the right agent or queue. Empower agents with AI-generated replies, summaries, and knowledge articles crafted from conversation data and your company’s trusted knowledge base. Combine your business rules and predictive models to surface the right offer and next best actions to take, in real time.
Minimize operating costs and improve first-time fix rates by dispatching the right mobile worker with the right skills and tools to show up at the right time. Advanced algorithms and machine learning create optimized schedules and find the most efficient route for field technicians based on their status, skill sets, location, and job details. You can also quickly respond to dynamic requests and emergencies with automated scheduling and dispatching.
Make agents more productive and respond to customers faster by automating rote tasks with one click. Macros help agents complete a set of repetitive steps – such as sending an email then updating the case status – in just a few seconds. Respond to customers with speed, consistency, and accuracy by using quick text to create predefined messages like greetings, answers to common questions, and short notes.
Service Planner uses generative AI-powered step-by-step plans based on case-specific data to streamline customer support, enhance agent productivity, accelerate agent onboarding and ensure company policy compliance. By integrating intelligent automation with detailed service plans, organisations can achieve higher service standards, optimise resource allocation, and improve overall customer satisfaction.
