In today’s scenario, each and every service representative (reps) and manager want to see the things like Accounts, Contacts, associated Cases with Accounts and Contacts, activities of reps on a single tab instead of switching to multiple tabs in order to see different cases with different associated Accounts and Contacts. All this can be achieved with the help of Salesforce Lightning Service Console.

With the help of this, agents can speed up the activities like creating new contacts, cases, registering products and processing returns, all without losing the context of the interaction or needing to switch screens.
