Service Console Components in Automotive Cloud

The Service Console for Automotive comes preconfigured with the following Service Excellence components: Identity Verification, Timeline, and Record Alerts. Service Excellence components help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and dealer groups fine-tune every aspect of the automotive service experience and help customer service representatives (CSRs) proactively resolve queries. Service Excellence components can also be used outside the console such as a timeline on Vehicle page.
