Sparkcentral overview

What is Sparkcentral?

Sparkcentral by Hootsuite is a SaaS platform designed to help businesses manage customer service operations across various asynchronous messaging channels such as WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, email, or web chat along with social platforms Facebook and Instagram. Features include autoresponders, skill-based routing, customer segmentation, notifications, audit trails, single sign-on, prioritization, and reporting.

The application offers an automated message distribution (AMD) engine, which integrates with contact centers and synchronizes all client interactions with a variety of CRM systems including Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and Siebel. The virtual agent framework in AMD allows live operators to collaborate with AI-based chatbots and simultaneously handle multiple customer queries. Its unified platform helps users synchronize live chat on both websites and mobile applications, and view clients' conversation history.

Agents can utilize Sparkcentral’s call-to-message deflection feature to manage customer queues by switching the phone calls to messaging channels. It also enables team members to deliver proactive alerts to clients via SMS or WhatsApp, follow-up on the status of sent messages, and receive information about failed messages.
