Allows us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries
In the past, we used help desk programs which did not do much to increase our sales funnel. All that changed with LiveChat. We are able to create a knowledge base, create tickets, and allow agents to collaborate on creating tickets, thereby improving the correspondence time and the quality of feedback that we provide to customers.

Improved efficiency with browser-based call handling and efficient scripting tools
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio. Clearing cache and cookies from browsers often resolves these problems, but it's something that occurs frequently. Simplifying the studio tool could also be an improvement, along with organizing external training and better communication about new features, like agent assist or agent co-pilot.
