Omnichannel: Chat and Email Processing in the Contact Center
To increase the number of visitors to the store, you need to open your doors wider. Progressive services use this strategy by developing communication tools and feedback services. But how do you distribute the load between agents? Split messengers into groups? Or give agents n-windows to handle all communication channels at once? Various solutions answer these questions, called the “Omnichannel chat”. And now I will tell you about the chat for customer support – our solution, which we announced in the summary article at the end of last year.
