Sugar Serve Q4 2020 is Live

Service-Focused Enhancements

• SugarLive for Omnichannel interactions: Sugar Serve expands omnichannel capability by adding Voice and Chat in a brand new experience called SugarLive. Customers now have more choices to communicate with their end customers and agents have access to pertinent customer information while in a conversation, providing for an effortless customer experience. SugarLive is built on Amazon Connect, an industry-leading cloud-based contact center application. Customers can set up call centers in minutes in Amazon Connect and then SugarLive to get started with omnichannel capabilities. An Amazon Connect instance is required for SugarLive.

• SugarLive is available in the footer and pops up automatically when a call or chat is routed to the agent.

• • When you accept an incoming call or chat, the full view of SugarLive opens, including a panel allowing agents to search for, view, and update records relevant to the customer or case.
