SM
Voice Engineer at Softtek
Enables seamless integration with leading customer support platforms and offers reliable and scalable communication solutions
The feature I find best about Amazon Connect, which is currently on trend, is the artificial intelligence. It helps us maintain continuity with the client. For instance, if a client calls for a ticket and calls again after three days, we can keep the same ticket or request to provide follow-up with the same agent or person. That is a valuable feature. Another important capability I discovered is that, from a technical perspective, you can select the caller ID in such a way that if one of your direct numbers fails, you can select another one to proceed with the calls. The system is not dependent on one calling number.

Unified channels have simplified customer support and now need more responsive assistance
The best features TalkDesk offers include the unification of messages through omnichannel support, which allows me to combine all messages from voice calls, SMS, chats, email, and social media onto a single platform. I also utilize the AI features for immediate customer support with a virtual assistant to handle customers when our agents are offline, and it requires no coding, making it really easy to use. The AI support specifically helps me save a lot of time as I only have to input and set it up; in case of any inquiries, it automatically provides feedback to customers needing help. Additionally, with the omnichannel feature, I don't need to log into all my social media handles or check my chats and emails separately, as I find everything in one place, which helps me become more efficient, save time, and stay organized.
