Making the Most of SAP Service Cloud
To illustrate the effectiveness of SAP Service Cloud, SAP shared the story of Vileda, a major German consumer products provider.
Vileda implemented SAP Service Cloud with the goal of optimizing customer experiences. This solution is integrated with SAP ERP, SAP Sales Cloud, and SAP Commerce Cloud, allowing for real-time sharing of information to inform decision-making.
Customers can contact Vileda through multiple channels – service hotline, Web site contact forms, and email – which are linked to the solution as tickets. Service agents can convert contact data into customer master records. The solution made jobs easier for service teams by centralizing data and allowing ticket analysis.
Key benefits derived from using SAP Service Cloud include the ability to generate reports easily and use the reporting functionality to identify serious problems with products early on. Integrating material and customer master data from SAP ERP allows reporting based on a single material.
The rollout to 400 users across 20 countries has resulted in high-quality, real-time data for problem-solving by service teams. Also, Vileda is investigating social media integration, where customer requests from platforms like Facebook and Twitter feed directly into the solution.
