Customer service automation is a service that has
escalated in recent times, enabling 24/7 support and
allowing your customers to self-serve. This typically
involves deploying chatbots or AI technology.
By automating, you take pressure off your customer
service team, helping them focus on more critical
support tasks. This also helops you meet high
expectations of customers that now require service on
