Benefits of Using LINE in Engage
Businesses with a large customer base in Asia, particularly Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand, need to ensure that they can support their customers on a channel they use every day. Unfortunately, adding this channel to an omnichannel contact center can be difficult, but Local Measure makes it easy.
Local Measure's flagship product, Engage for Amazon Connect, is an omnichannel agent desktop and platform powered by AWS that enables contact centers to manage inbound customer queries across voice and digital channels via a single platform. With the addition of LINE natively to its platform, Local Measure is further expanding its omnichannel capabilities and helping businesses connect with and support customers in Asia on their preferred channel. This new channel sits alongside existing integrations with Facebook Messenger, Instagram Direct Messages, WeChat, WhatsApp and Apple Business Chat.
