When inquiries flood in simultaneously through phone, live chat and social DMs, a customer service or sales team uses it to pick up and answer automatically, freeing staff from repetitive questions.
Today these inquiries are handled mainly by human agents, single-channel chatbots or outsourced call centers.
With parallel multi-channel inquiries, human staffing struggles to cover them and slow responses lose customers; but the public material does not say where existing support tools fall short, so the intensity of the pain cannot be confirmed.
