Customer 360 with Local CRM

The Customer 360 panel brings together customer details from voice and digital channels into a single, unified view. It displays automatically during active customer interactions, reducing the need to switch between tools or search for information.

To reduce distraction, the Customer 360 panel remains hidden during agent-to-agent calls, directory calls, and unrouted interactions.

Benefits

  • Unified interface: Access all relevant customer information in one place.
  • Context-aware access: The Customer 360 panel only displays during supported customer interactions. For agent-to-agent calls, unrouted interactions, or directory calls, the panel stays hidden to minimize distraction.
  • Multiple channel support: Supports voice, chat, email, SMS, and social media interactions.
  • Faster resolution: Agents get immediate context without searching.
  • Increased agent control: View previous interactions to personalize support and speed up the resolution.

Let’s say Pat, an agent, takes a call from a customer asking about a delayed order. With Customer 360, Pat immediately sees the customer’s earlier email about the same issue, along with order history. Instead of switching tools or pausing to dig for context, Pat resolves the issue right away, saving time and improving the experience.

Before Customer 360, Pat had to pause the conversation to manually search for records, slowing down service and frustrating customers.

If you need access to the full CRM, simply click Customer management from the sidebar.

View the customer sentiment analysis in Customer 360 with Local CRM

Note: Sentiment analysis requires:
- A valid Speech Analytics license and setup.
- At least two recorded interactions with the customer after the Customer 360 feature was released.

The Customer 360 panel includes AI-powered sentiment analysis to help you understand how the customer is feeling based on recent interactions. The data is extracted from up to ten recent interactions, with greater emphasis on the most recent ones.

If the requirements for sentiment analysis are not met, no sentiment data will be shown.

During a live interaction, go to Customer 360 > Recent sentiment.

Note: This option is only visible if enabled by your organization.

View the customer topics in Customer 360 with Local CRM

Note: Topics matching requires:
- A Speech Analytics license and setup.
- At least two recorded interactions with the customer after the Customer 360 feature was released.

The Topics section in the Customer 360 panel shows key discussion themes automatically extracted from the customer's previous conversations. These topics are based on predefined phrases configured by your administrator in Quality Management and Speech Analytics (QM/SA).

This feature gives agents fast insight into the customer’s concerns, past inquiries, and likely reasons for contacting support. By understanding what’s already been discussed, you can respond more personally and avoid repeating questions.

Each topic includes a percentage value, which represents how frequently the topic appeared in the customer's recent interactions. For example, if the keyword “damaged” came up in three out of the last six conversations, the topic would display as 50%. The system calculates this percentage based on the last two to ten recorded interactions.

To view topics:

During a live interaction, go to Customer 360 > Recent topics.

Note: This option is only visible if enabled by your organization.

Wrap up an interaction in Customer 360 with Local CRM

The Wrap up tab is available alongside the Customer 360 panel as soon as you accept an interaction. You can use it during the conversation to add notes or prepare the appropriate disposition codes.

The Wrap up button shows in the tab after the interaction ends. At that point, the system automatically switches to the Wrap up area so you can complete any final steps.

To wrap up an interaction in Customer 360:

Where are Notes saved?

You can add notes during an interaction or during wrap-up. The system saves these notes based on your CRM setup:

  • In a native CRM, notes are saved in the task or case description.
  • In an external CRM, notes are saved through API integration.

Custom screen pop behavior

When a custom screen pop is configured by an admin and the Open new window for screen pop setting is disabled in Configuration Manager, the screen pop opens directly within the Customer management workspace instead of launching in a new window.

Agents can access the screen pop from this page at any time.
