The client, a leading provider of broadband circuits to public organizations, aimed to streamline interactions, improve support, and enhance customer satisfaction. Salesforce Sales, Service, and Experience Clouds were leveraged to create personalized portals for vendors and customers.
Business Challenge:
The client faced challenges in managing interactions with vendors and providing efficient support to customers. Manual processes, lack of self-service options, and limited access to information hindered seamless collaboration and communication. The client required a solution to enhance vendor interactions, provide self-service capabilities to customers, and improve overall support effectiveness.
