This document lists all available features of the Intershop Customer Engagement Center (CEC).
Feature Name | Feature Description |
---|---|
Customer Search | A customer search can be processed in a channel or over all channels of the organization the agent has signed in for. The search can be processed as simple or advanced search. A customer can be selected for further service actions. |
Single field search | The single field search requires at least 3 characters and searches in e-mail addresses, customer numbers and surnames without further specification. |
Advanced search | The advanced search supports searching for 9 different parameters in specified fields to find a customer:
The search can be restricted to one channel of the organization. |
Customer Overview | Profile and order information are delivered via REST and shown in the application. |
Recent Orders | The last orders of the customer are shown in a list sorted in descending order by the order number. |
Order details | An order in the list of recent orders can be opened to show detail information delivered by the REST API. |
Customer information | The customer information depends on the selected customer. For B2C customers all stored addresses are shown next to the common profile data. For B2B customers company information is shown in addition to profile data. |
Coupons | Coupons represent promotion codes that entitle customers to benefit from a specific promotion. The contact center agent can select a promotion from a list of available promotions and generate a promotion code for the customer. The agent can submit the generated code to the customer via e-mail. Furthermore, contact center agents are also able to apply codes to a customer's cart. |
Quick Order | Quick Order allows for creating an order on behalf of the customer within a single page optimized for efficient order entry. |
Shopping cart | Call center agents can add products directly by entering the SKU of the product. If the product has variants, the product variation can be selected in a dialog. The basket is created when the first product is added. The agent can edit the quantity or remove the line items from the cart. |
Product search | Products can be found by providing a part of the SKU or the product name within a search form. The search result is provided as a product list. Each product can be added from that list to the cart. |
Addresses | The default shipping and invoice addresses are automatically selected for the cart. Both can be changed if the customer's profile has more than one address stored. Furthermore, an additional address can be created and saved at the profile. |
Payment | The call center agent can select one of the available payment methods. The availability of the payment methods depends on the channel preferences in Intershop Commerce Management and on the configuration of the contact center white list. New bank connection details for the payment method "Direct Debit Transfer" can be added to the order and saved at the customer account. |
Shipping Method | The eligible shipping methods depend on the product configurations in Intershop Commerce Management and the selected delivery address. Each method which updates the cart updates the list of eligible shipping methods for each line item. |
Take over basket | Existing shopping carts from the selected customer can be taken over by the agent and processed in the same way like new ones that have been generated by the agent. The contact center agent has two possibilities to take over the cart:
All changes are visible for a customer who is online and logged in after refreshing the browser. The customer has the option to check out the modified cart in the storefront. |
Place order | Once all shopping cart details are properly set and applied, the agent can place the order on behalf of the customer. |
Co-Browse | The contact center agent can start a "co-browsing" storefront session. That means, the agent is logged in to the storefront using the customer's credentials. The catalogs and products, prices, promotions, content etc. are displayed to the agent in the same way as to the customer. |
