Social Customer Care
SoCoCare combines rich social feeds (from blogs to articles and social network posts) with the ability to reply and direct-message authors all on one, unified platform. Powered by its natural language processing capabilities and advanced business rules, SoCoCare provides:
- The ability for contact center agents to process and respond to social interactions.
- Powerful filtering to help minimize spam, which significantly increases agent productivity.
- Automatic identification of business issues to ensure routing to the right agent, increasing customer satisfaction.
- Sentiment analysis to appropriately escalate customer issues.
- Panoramic conversation timeline with a topical history of responses to provide greater agent insight.
- Role-based analytics with key performance indicators and service level agreement metrics to help manage contact center teams more effectively.
“SoCoCare was built from the ground up specifically for customer service
and support, unlike most social tools that were originally designed for
marketing or brand building. The combination of Five9 and SoCoCare is
unparalleled in the cloud. Now customer-centric organizations can add
social and mobile to their contact center to engage with customers when
and how they want.”
— Lance Fried, CEO and co-founder, SoCoCare
Mobile Customer Care
SoCoCare also brings mobile customer care to the Five9 product portfolio, adding real-time customer service capabilities to existing mobile applications. The mobile customer care solution includes intelligent routing, in-app messaging and chat, sentiment feedback and voice of the customer (VOC) features.
Industry Analyst Praises Acquisition
“With the SoCoCare acquisition, Five9 combines its already strong
position as a cloud contact center market player with solid assets in
social, mobile and analytics. Both Five9 and SoCoCare were built as
multi-tenant cloud applications from the outset. This cloud heritage,
combined with the proven skills of recently added
EVP of products at Five9 Moni Manor, will allow for rapid
integration of the two companies’ solutions.”
