Salesforce Voice

Salesforce Voice (previously Service Cloud Voice) is a modern functionality of Salesforce that enables the addition of a phone channel directly into Salesforce and the Omni-Channel platform. It offers the possibility to create a more personalized experience for customers, while improving the productivity of customer service agents.

The most popular and advanced phone system that can be integrated with Salesforce Voice is Amazon Connect, a modern contact center solution developed by AWS. It is fully cloud-based and scalable from a few users to thousands. Connect offers all the necessary modern functionalities and many advanced AI-based ways to enhance the customer experience. Salesforce Voice and Amazon Connect work seamlessly together, and new joint functionalities are continuously being developed. In 2023, Salesforce and AWS have formed a strategic partnership and will further develop the compatibility of their products in the future.

 

Salesforce Voice features and benefits

  1. Unified Customer Experience: Calls can be managed directly on the Salesforce platform, offering customer service agents a seamless experience and the ability to create customer experiences that exceed expectations.
  2. Effective Data Utilization: Combines Salesforce data and analytics with Amazon Connect’s Contact Center features. For example, in call routing, Salesforce data can be used extensively to personalize the customer experience and offer various automated self-service options.
  3. Improved Customer Service Productivity: Automatic functions and intelligent suggestions enhance the efficiency of customer service agents. Calls are transcribed into text in real-time, and Salesforce’s Einstein AI can make suggestions, for example, from Knowledge articles.
  4. Real-Time Analytics: Amazon Connect’s Contact Lens also analyzes the customer’s emotional state during the call, the progress of the call in relation to set goals, and identifies the subject and keywords of the call.
  5. Scalability and Flexibility: A cloud-based solution that scales according to the needs of the business. Salesforce Voice is suitable for anything from a few users to thousands.
  6. Speed: The implementation of Salesforce is easy and fast. The Amazon Connect Contact Center can be created directly from Salesforce.
