SugarCRM Announces Sugar Serve, an Innovative New Offering Focused on Customer Support

Integrated Console Experience Revolutionizes Customer Support Processes

CUPERTINO, Calif. – August 1, 2019 – SugarCRM Inc.®, the company that helps organizations deliver exceptional customer experiences, today announced Sugar Serve, a game-changing new offering for automation of customer support processes that puts everything agents need to work a support case right at their fingertips, in an integrated and optimized console experience.

“This introduces extensive new capabilities for customer service agents unlike any application on the market today,” said CEO Craig Charlton. “With our Service Console, we’ve put all the critical information for resolving a support case into a single panel, helping our customers reduce case resolution times, improve SLA achievement, increase customer satisfaction and improve support experiences. And that puts them on the path of cultivating customers for life.”

The Service Console is a key feature of Sugar Serve, placing essential data points such as next best action based on SLA, account and contact information, account activity history and even case details, front and center – with no searching or navigation required. Other key features include:

  • SLA Management – Prioritizes work, ensures SLA achievement, and measures support performance through the coordinated management of complex SLAs, multi-region business centers, and business hours
  • SugarBPM Automation – Leverages out-of-the-box workflows and SugarBPM to prioritize work intelligently; route, reassign, and escalate cases; calculate follow-up dates; and send notifications
  • Self-Service – Enables customers to resolve issues and find answers to questions with an easy-to-use customer portal and knowledge base
  • Reporting and Analytics – Provides support center managers deeper insights into the metrics that matter with over 60 pre-packaged reports and dashboards
