Amazon Connect vs. IFS Customer Engagement

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.

Most of the time, if any issues are faced, IFS representatives address those issue immediately as previous users have also faced them. But when we face a certain issue which is new to the IFS representative, and there is little help available on IFS community, it takes time to resolve.

• Some of the reporting functionality could be maybe more modern, but one sees development within IFS Customer Engagement so it probably is a matter of time before any desired changes are made, or worked around.
• IFS Customer Engagement reports are transferable to Excel as data only or with the format selected for pdf reports. Sometimes it becomes too slow.

It is very easy to use for any access level and has greatly facilitated users' ability to properly document tickets without getting lost in short or vague comments. Each case is fully tracked through this transcription of information. This made it easier for us to decide whether to implement, use, and maintain it as our contact tool in our customer service center.
