Please share a story where Vergic Engage made a difference for your company:
When the admission decisions come in around July 11th every year, we have the highest pressure in our chat channel. We staff the chat with all resources from our Service center. Such a day may mean that an agent has up to 16 active chats going on at the same time. In total, we have about 650 chats during the same day. In situations like that you need a reliable tool that works in all kind of weather. Thanks to Vergic, we do, concludes Kristina Persson.
