    Support, Service, and Success

    You want to understand the difference between customer support, customer service, and customer success. Customer support helps customers solve problems and answer questions.

You use intelligent IVR to route calls, unified workspaces to manage customer data, and chatbots to provide instant answers. You track every interaction and use analytics to improve service quality.
