Five9 Announces Enhanced Zendesk Integrations to Unify the Agent Workspace and Meet Customer Needs Faster
New Tools Streamline Contact Centre Workflows and Improve Agent and Customer Experiences
Five9 have announced enhancements to its integration with Zendesk Talk Partner Edition (TPE) that support the latest Zendesk Voice Comment and Standard Call Object features. Together, the companies are streamlining agent workspaces and enhancing contact centre capabilities and controls to ensure every customer interaction is personalised and seamless.
New key features are built on the latest Zendesk release, with Voice Comment and Standard Call Object arming agents with contextual data needed to identify customer needs and deliver resolution with speed and relevance. Five9’s comprehensive customer ticket data, like caller identity and intent, is gathered from Five9’s IVA (Intelligent Virtual Agent) and presents them via Five9’s Agent Assist to live agents using the Zendesk Voice Comment feature.
Scott Black, RVP, Business Development at Five9, said,
“By integrating with Zendesk’s latest technology, we’re providing support agents and customers with more enhanced, seamless experiences,”
“The complementary solutions allow enterprises to reimagine what the customer service experience looks like by equipping agents with tools that swiftly identify customer needs and deliver timely resolutions.”
The new Five9 enhancements provide key benefits to agents and customers that include:
√ Crisp and customisable ticketing user interface for stronger workspace management
– Collapsible ticket view that presents Five9 call data into organised ticket sections and organisable based on priority
√ Improved agent guidance for better customer experiences
– Parent-child ticket aggregation will now simplify ticket handling by consolidating related tickets into a single view to deliver the necessary context live agents need to provide more cohesive and efficient customer service while also enhancing customer personalisation and satisfaction.
√ Increased automation to streamline workflows
– Automatic call logging for missed or abandoned calls, no longer requiring agents to manually create tickets.
√ AI-Ready Framework for sharing real-time customer data insights with live agents
-The Zendesk-Five9 integration will make it easier to activate existing Five9 AI for real-time guidance, transcriptions, and summaries
Tim Marsden, Senior Director, Technology Alliances at Zendesk, said,
“Our partnership with Five9 remains pivotal in our mission to develop customer support solutions that focus on improving contact centre efficiencies and deliver superior experiences to their customers.
