  • Sales Focus: Helps sales managers and representatives prioritize high-potential opportunities.
  • Model Training: Users train the scoring model using their own data to improve accuracy.
  • Customization: Extension fields (KUT and PDI) can be added to tailor the scoring model to specific business needs.
  • Performance Monitoring: Includes tools to check model readiness, performance, and scoring accuracy.
  • Insights Display: Scoring results and influencing factors are shown in the UI, aiding decision-making.

In summary, these features streamline your service operations while enhancing your team's performance and positively impacting your customers' experience.
