WHAT B2B TEAMS ARE UP AGAINST 

Solving the toughest customer inquiry challenges

When B2B companies rely on shared inboxes and manual processes to handle customer inquiries, growing volumes quickly expose the same recurring challenges for Customer Service teams, including: how to better track customer inquiries (highly difficult), how to keep customers informed throughout the inquiry lifecycle (barely feasible), and how to support Customer Service operations more efficiently (nearly impossible).

The manual reality

  • Customer inquiries scattered across shared inboxes 
  • Manual prioritization and interpretation
  • Slow or inconsistent responses
  • Limited visibility across support operations

The Esker advantage

  • Clear inquiry prioritization and smart routing
  • Rapid and consistent responses via automated workflows
  • Less manual effort thanks to AI-assisted inquiry handling
  • 100% reliability and transparency for CSRs and customers

End-to-end visibility on customer inquiries

Up to 80% faster response times

Improved CSR satisfaction through AI assistance
