Salesforce Service Cloud is a platform that helps organisations manage service requests. Whether you are contacted via email, phone, social media or even text, Salesforce Service Cloud Features help you keep track of these conversations. The platform includes user-friendly dashboards that show a full 360-degree view of each service interaction, making it easier for teams to track, respond to and resolve issues efficiently, boosting consumer satisfaction.

Dive into the key Salesforce Service Cloud Features and how they can benefit organisations of all kinds and sizes.

 

1. Omni-Channel Routing: Manage Enquiries Across Multiple Channels

The term omni-channel implies that an organisation interacts with its consumers in multiple service channels. This is why managing enquiries across multiple channels is as important as ever, as consumers expect quick responses across every platform, whether it’s email, social media or phone. Omni-channel routing ensures that all enquiries are automatically directed to the right person or team. Salesforce’s functionality intelligently routes requests based on the service agent’s skill set and availability, ensuring the right person always handles the issue.

Why it matters:

  • Seamless service across phone, email, social media, and more.
  • Ensures every query is handled by the most suitable agent, reducing response time.

 

2. Case Management: Organise and Track All Service Requests

Case Management empowers your organisation with a complete control centre for handling service enquiries. Each time an issue or question is raised, a ‘case’ is created. These cases allow service agents to manage the enquiry from start to finish, ensuring no issue is overlooked. Cases can be created automatically from various channels—whether that’s an email, phone call, or even a social media message. This allows for consistent and organised tracking throughout your organisation.

Why it matters:

  • Keeps all customer interactions organised
  • Provides a clear trail of communications and actions taken to resolve issues.

 

3. Service Console: A Central Hub for Agents

The service console is one of the many dashboards found within Salesforce Service Cloud. These dashboards give service agents

everything they need to help consumers or handle internal support tasks. With a single view of contact details, past interactions and open cases, service agents can easily track and resolve issues without jumping between disparate systems. The service console allows agents to see a full 360-degree view of each individual’s history with your organisation, making it easier to provide personalised, efficient service.

Why it matters:

  • Empowers agents with a unified view of customer data.
  • Reduces time spent switching between different systems or tools.

 

4. Knowledge Base: Empowering Self-Service and Fast Resolutions

A knowledge base is a searchable library of information, solutions, and guides for your service agents and consumers. Service agents can use the knowledge base to find the information required to solve a case quickly. Customers can also access the knowledge base through self-service portals to find answers on their own. This feature helps reduce the volume of incoming support requests by enabling self-service and equips agents with the knowledge to resolve issues faster.

Why it matters:

  • Reduces the workload on service teams by allowing customers to find answers independently.
  • Provides agents with easy access to helpful information to solve cases faster.

 

5. Einstein AI: AI-Powered Support

Einstein AI is Salesforce’s artificial intelligence feature. Implementing Einstein AI into your Salesforce Service Cloud platform adds a layer of intelligent assistance to your service operations. It helps by analysing consumer interactions and suggesting the best actions for service agents, speeding up case resolution. In addition, Einstein AI chatbots can handle basic enquiries, giving consumers 24/7 support, even when service agents aren’t available.

Why it matters:

  • AI suggests actions and automates responses, making the service faster and more efficient.
  • Chatbots offer 24/7 support, handling common queries automatically.

 

6. Social Customer Service: Manage Social Media Enquiries

With today’s massive social media presence, many customers use these channels for support or to share feedback. Social Customer Service integrates with platforms like Facebook and Instagram, allowing service agents to handle enquiries and respond to consumers directly from the Salesforce Service Cloud platform, just as they would with email or phone requests.

Why it matters:

  • Allows you to manage and respond to social media enquiries promptly.
  • Ensures social media messages are handled with the same care as other support channels.
