Various Novel Salesforce Einstein Tools for Business

Get Predictive Analytics with Machine Learning

Think about the possibilities of you seeing the future. Here, we’re not talking about the gut feeling or the sixth sense but predictive analytics. Salesforce Einstein presents three robust predictive analytics tools that use ML to provide invaluable insights into the future of your business. They are:

  • Einstein Prediction Builder
  • Einstein Discovery
  • Einstein Next Best Action

Unlike manual methods, Einstein Discovery helps organizations extract valuable customer insights from internal and external data sources faster. Also, it helps understand what is exactly happening with your business and customers, in detail.

With Einstein Prediction Builder, you can predict outcomes for every business function, irrespective of the industry you’re in. Now you might be thinking that it is a difficult task to accomplish. But with Salesforce Einstein, your Salesforce administrators can now create predictive data models with a few clicks and get the right business insights. For instance, you can find answers to questions such as what are the chances of a customer renewing their subscription to your service, what would the prospective churn rate be and so on.

Einstein Next Best Action gives you the best recommendations to initiate suitable business actions based on the customer’s purchase history and past interactions.

Derive Meaning from Every Piece of Text with NLP

Salesforce Einstein comes with two NLP-based tools viz.:

  • Einstein Language
  • Einstein Bots

Einstein Language automatically identifies the customer’s sentiment to help you strategize your approach and handle interactions with high efficacy. For instance, if the tool spots the words that convey positive emotions such as happy, excited, overjoyed it determines that a customer is quite pleased with your product or service. On the other hand, if it identifies negative words in the text, it determines that the customer is not satisfied and there’s an issue to resolve. Einstein Language goes through your business contacts, emails and chats and identifies customer sentiments. The NLP-based application can identify words in multiple languages.

Einstein Bots are intelligent chatbots designed to resolve common challenges your customers face. They provide instant solutions to the prospects. Also, they can be deployed across various digital channels to interact and engage with your customers. With Einstein Bots, you can help your employees concentrate on tasks that matter, thereby helping them use their time optimally.

Manage Inventories More Effectively with Einstein Vision

Einstein Vision helps you harness deep learning techniques to identify and classify images and text. From object detection and image classification to text recognition, Einstein Vision is a valuable tool for inventory management, especially of retail companies. Also, you can train Einstein Vision to recognize your brand logo online and other product offerings using text recognition.

Utilize Automatic Speech Recognition to Add Context to Your Business

Einstein Voice is an automatic speech recognition application from Salesforce. You can leverage this tool to get quick updates during meetings and alert customers about any new updates. Also, it can capture notes and relevant contact information in real-time and transform it from text to sound for your business in no time at all. Also, you can connect Einstein Voice with Alexa or Siri to brief your employees with minimal effort.

Salesforce Einstein is readily available for those businesses that use Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Community Cloud, App Cloud or Analytics Cloud into their business framework but at an additional yet affordable cost. The benefits that Einstein Analytics offers are many but integrating that into your system is not that easy.
