See? Better service.
The system leverages data science to improve workflows and business processes—again, for better service. And then this engine also enables businesses to “deliver seamless customer service across any channel.”
One Service Cloud Intelligence Engine feature lets businesses assign cases to call center agents based on skill set, case history, presence or their manner of connecting to the customer—email, web, phone, video chat or SMS. Also important to know — if they’re available.
In another feature, businesses can automatically distribute and manage agent workload to respond to the unpredictable demands of omni-channel support.

Anotrher good feature is that customers can start a conversation on one channel and transition to another without having to continuously identify themselves. We often wonder, after having entered all our personal data in response to the machine’s demand, how come the next person or robot down the line has no idea who we are. So now they’ll know.
