The Procure-to-Pay (PTP) business unit has set itself the goal of creating unified support with a central access point for many different channels. The goal is to improve the distribution and processing of inquiries (routing and ticketing).

Multichannel ACD
is responsible for routing the telephony and the tickets to the right agents. ACD classifies each customer inquiry into a predefined category and assigns it to the appropriate queue.
Salesforce Connector (SFC)
automatically connects the salesforce instance to the ACD and prepares the distribution of incoming processes (tickets) according to a categorization of the appropriate characteristics.
Professional Client Web (Multichannel ACD)
is an integral component in the salesforce interface and enables agents to have their entire workspace on the screen.
“Our goal is to optimize the process flow in the support environment
Open web interface calls up information about the caller from the Salesforce Service Cloud (e.g. language, ticket no. with time stamp, VIP status, etc.)
With the push service, the SFC transmits the case ID and the category to ACD.
Once equipped with information, ACD routes to the correct agent by means of a complex condition syntax.
As soon as an agent is assigned a case, the Salesforce master data set appears in the ACD Professional Client Web.
The web interface with the Salesforce Service Cloud allows tickets to be automatically prefilled for the agent (caller number, IVR input, etc…) and the agent is able to enter information in the Salesforce master data record via ACD.
