Showcasing the End-to-End Capabilities of SAP Service Cloud

SAP Service Cloud plays a critical role in:

• Improving agent productivity by replacing paperwork and spreadsheets with automated workflows.
• Speeding up issue resolution by giving your agents access to backend data and processes.
• Increasing service efficiency with AI that leverages the most relevant data in your organization.

This visual elaborates on how these benefits can be achieved in a typical issue-to-resolution process. Please bear in mind that some stages may vary depending on the nature of different businesses.

• Issue: Requester (person or machine) faces an issue
• Issue Logging: Issue classified based on source, AI logic, or selections
• Knowledge: Recommended information and previous resolutions provided, if possible
• Context: More information gathered using integrations, history, and Q&A
• Chatbot: Requester leverages AI, automation, or chatbot (Joule) to help resolve the issue
• Agent and Resolver: Lack of resolution ensures cases are passed to the next level for resolution
• Informed: Journey to date and previous history used to eliminate wasted time
• Commitments: Entitlements, warranties, and contracts checked in SAP S/4HANA Cloud; resolver informed
• Resolution: Repair technician scheduled, service provision updated, or corrective action taken
• Replacement: Faulty parts and upgraded components sourced and delivered to expedite resolution
• Upsell: Replacements and upsells offered as part of the resolution
• Confirmation: Invoice settled

• While self-service offers a convenient starting point for many, not all customer issues can be resolved this way. Therefore, the next step is agent-assisted support. SAP Service Cloud equips service reps with a comprehensive agent desktop that provides all the relevant information and tools to resolve customer queries. The robust Case Management capabilities guide agents with intuitive workflows and valuable insights, streamlining and expediting the resolution process.

• Enhanced by the CX AI Toolkit, you can further expedite resolutions with AI-generated case summaries, action recommendations, and identification of similar cases, ensuring swift and accurate assistance.

• When situations demand expert support, SAP Service Cloud bridges the gap with advanced collaboration features. The cross-departmental case management enables you to engage the right subject matter experts across the organization, streamlining resolution and increasing productivity. Additionally, the Microsoft Teams integration further simplifies collaborative troubleshooting and issue resolution.

• When remote solutions aren't sufficient, onsite repairs become necessary. Ensuring a smooth handoff from the contact center to field service is crucial for a swift and precise repair process that ensures customer satisfaction. Agents can create service orders in SAP Service Cloud, which are then transferred to SAP Field Service Management for efficient scheduling and dispatching. This seamless integration guarantees that field technicians have the information they need to deliver timely and effective service.

As you can see, we have embedded business AI in all stages of the issue-to-resolution process. Using AI throughout the process automates and accelerates service, reduces routine tasks and supports service teams in providing timely and personalized service.

An integral aspect of the SAP Service Cloud is its seamless integration with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. That ensures that customer service is not isolated but operates as a connected part of the organization. This native integration facilitates a smooth data flow between the front and back office. With this connectivity, service teams gain comprehensive visibility into customer and operational data, empowering them to resolve issues and boost customer satisfaction swiftly.

This integration not only streamlines service operations but also increases productivity and agility, providing significant value to your business. Furthermore, combining front and back office data and processes lays the foundation for the efficient use of business AI.

SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) is the foundational layer anchoring the entire structure. It is the key enabler, integrating diverse systems and processes beneath the solution layer. Through powerful analytics, AI capabilities, and extensibility options, it provides the flexibility and innovation needed to enhance service delivery.
