    Our company is a startup that is just starting to get wholesale customers. When we realized our customers needed support using our products, we set up a Contact Center via Amazon Connect. It has been very useful in allowing us to scale up very quickly, and provide services to our company as if we were a large corporation.

    There is genuinely not a lot to dislike about the application. Maybe it's due to legacy implementations and updates, but sometimes the request for service from the suppliers can take too long and is drawn out. IFS Customer Engagement is helping us to make sure we're able to get the right parts to the right resources with appropriate skills for each request. This saves time on resources in planning and optimization of routes. IFS has also allowed connecting to supplier APIs to be able to do real-time stock checks and order to enable us to reduce stock levels to the minimum levels whilst still hitting key targets.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • On reports and analytics, [I feel] Amazon Connect is slightly behind, and it should be perfected.
    • [In my experience], Amazon Connect lacks social platform integration, which is convenient and resourceful currently.
    • [I believe] Amazon Connect should include a queue management feature, for the call centers and customer help.

    Amazon Connect has lots of free training available for partners and in general. So many demos are available to practice. It's free to test and gain more confidence before deploying in real world scenarios. You can use other AWS features to be integrated with Amazon cloud. Features like lense is amazing

    IFS Customer Engagement allows efficient manufacturing reporting for the business to select whether to use standard/default reporting or actual reporting or combined reporting. Since the system has business logic to look through the defined rules, there is minimum manual intervention. IFS Customer Engagement is working throughout the organization in different roles and it is being rolled out to additional countries as part of a replace and enhance strategy.
