Frontliner Console


The frontline agent is the first agent to engage with the customer. The Frontliner Console makes it easy for the agent to view the customer's profile and understand the requirement for which the customer is calling. Frontline agents can create new cases, view a summary of the customer and case details, review their own performance and collaborate with other teams using the Frontliner Console. In addition to creating cases, they can also review existing cases and perform activities, request for supervisor help, view the knowledge base and much more.
