Lime Connect
Lime Connect is the leading software for customer messaging and support automation in Germany. The heart of this solution is the Message Center - a central inbox for all messaging channels such as website chat, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and more. From here, all messages can be processed with professional features such as message templates, live translations and file sharing.
Lime Connect has a powerful website messenger that companies can integrate into their website. The live chat tool lets your customers choose to either have a conversation at that moment or continue it at a later time - just like their favorite messaging apps.
For complex inquiries or product demos, the software gives agents the ability to switch from a chat to a browser-based video call with one click, which also allows for screen sharing. That way, companies can personally guide website visitors throughout the entire buyer journey and strengthen the customer relationship.
Self learning chatbots with GTP-4 integration, smart FAQ pages and dynamic contact forms can be integrated via the Lime Connect AI Automation Hub to automate your customer support.
The software is developed and hosted in Germany, making Lime Connect a GDPR-compliant customer communication solution.
