The CRM combines workflow automation, real-time decisioning, and a low-code platform with the goal of achieving this vision. Pegasystems uses real-time customer context and journey data to anticipate their needs and proactively – even preemptively – engage; for example, understanding a customer's intent, guiding users through adaptive workflows, proposing an offer that is most likely to be accepted, and adjusting follow-on steps based on customer feedback. CRM users seamlessly transition interactions from human-assisted to self-service with the aid of chatbots and RPA. The CRM has a complete customer profile that is updated in real time and has consistent business and developer tooling and broad industry compliance."
