SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the Customer Success Platform and world's #1 CRM company, today introduced Service Cloud Lightning Snap-ins to help companies provide connected, personalized service across any device. With Service Cloud Lightning Snap-ins, organizations of any size can now quickly deploy a contextual, modern service experience by just "snapping-in" capabilities such as Cases, Knowledge, Live Chat, SOS and Tap-to-Call to their mobile and web apps. Additionally, the Salesforce SOS Snap-in now has two-way video chat, empowering agents to quickly see and resolve customer issues.
Everyone and everything is connected thanks to the ubiquity of Internet access and mobile–giving rise to a new kind of customer who expects personal engagement and immediate answers. This is why customer service has never been more important. Customers expect service at the point of engagement and a frictionless experience as they move from phone to web to in-app. In fact, a recent study says 61 percent1 of consumers use multiple channels to resolve a single customer service issue, underscoring why it is critical for companies to provide a connected omnichannel experience. As companies respond and add more channels to their service experience, they need a modern service platform that can help manage growing complexity for organizations, while ensuring that customers get a seamless service experience.
