The All-New Service Cloud, Transforming Customer Service from Anywhere

Today Salesforce launched the next generation of Service Cloud, to support evolving customer service standards and deliver linked, personalized service from anywhere on a single digital engagement platform.

Parts of the world are reopening today; 53% of Americans plan to travel by the end of the year, and 97% plan to shop in a store. Reopenings would also raise a slew of new concerns about revised rules, procedures, and safety precautions. This presents a new degree of difficulty for front-line agents who are already dealing with increased workloads and increasingly demanding customers. In reality, while 82 percent of customers plan to contact customer service at pandemic levels, only 36% of service professionals believe they are adequately equipped to manage an increase in service and support cases. “Eighty-eight percent of service workers say the pandemic uncovered vulnerabilities in their jobs' technology”.

“Customer service leaders must keep abreast of three megatrends in 2021 as they navigate the storm,” according to a Forrester study authored by Kate Leggett, VP Principal Analyst, Forrester: “AI-fueled digital experiences underpin great customer service, new agent desktops motivate agents to better serve customers, and customer service technology enhances agility and sustainability.”

Service from Anywhere with Service Cloud 360

To succeed, businesses must make every customer interaction more meaningful, from online to pick-up/drop-off to in-person, and motivate their service workers to respond quickly, whether they are working from home, in the field, or in a hybrid model. Key enhancements to Service Cloud Voice, Workforce Engagement, Visual Remote Assistant, and more are included in today's announcement, which is relevant to industries ranging from retail to manufacturing.
