What is Service Cloud?
Salesforce Service Cloud is an all-in-one, cloud-based platform designed to make customer service and support easy and effective. It helps businesses manage customer cases and requests by automating service tasks, providing a knowledge base, and offering AI-driven insights and suggestions. Service Cloud ensures instant access to everything( data and more) to deliver personalized and outstanding customer service, making interactions smoother and problem-solving faster.
Service Cloud enables users to automate service processes, streamline workflows and find key articles, topics and experts to support customer service agents. The purpose is to foster one-to-one marketing relationships with every customer across multiple channels and devices.
Service Cloud can "listen" and respond to customers across a variety of social platforms and automatically route cases to the appropriate agent. Social customer service is integrated with the Salesforce Customer Success Platform, which enables the social team to gather a comprehensive picture of the customer to best inform responses.
