## How we help

We gave every request one tracked record from the first email to the quote, so nothing is lost and the team can see what is waiting.

## Before and after

| Area | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Requests | Scattered across shared inboxes | One tracked record each |
| Ownership | Whoever saw it first | A named owner from the start |
| Visibility | Nobody sure what was waiting | A clear view of open requests |

## Results

- No request slips through unanswered
- Customers hear back faster and more consistently
- Managers can see the workload at a glance

## How it works

Service Cloud turns every request into a case with an owner, a status and a history, whether it arrives by email, web, chat or phone. Queues, assignment and Omni-Channel routing decide who handles it, and entitlements and milestones decide how fast.

Agents work from a console that brings the customer, the case and knowledge together. Automation, macros and AI suggestions remove the repetitive steps, and reporting shows supervisors where work is building up.

## Our approach

1. **Map request types.** List what customers actually ask for and how each should be handled.
2. **Design case processes.** Define record types, statuses, queues and routing rules per request type.
3. **Build the agent console.** Bring customer, case and knowledge into one view with macros and quick actions.
4. **Automate and measure.** Automate acknowledgements, assignment and follow-up, and set up service dashboards.
5. **Stabilise and support.** Resolve defects, tune for peak volume, and keep the configuration aligned as the business changes.

## What to get right

- Design processes around the requests agents handle most.
- Give every case an owner and a clear next step.
- Make status reflect reality so supervisors can trust queues.
- Keep automation light enough to scale on busy days.

## Questions

### What is the difference between Service Cloud and Sales Cloud?

Sales Cloud manages winning customers; Service Cloud manages looking after them, with cases, routing, entitlements, knowledge and an agent console.

### Can Service Cloud handle email, chat and phone together?

Yes. Email-to-Case, web forms, messaging and voice can all create cases, and Omni-Channel routes them to the right agent by skill and capacity.

### Can AI help our service team?

Yes. Agentforce can answer routine requests, summarise cases and suggest replies, with a person taking over when the request needs it.
