Solution

Heathrow wanted to deliver personalized support to a growing number of travelers. With Agentforce, it'll provide faster service, improving digital contact efficiency by up to 40%. Agentforce is providing real-time wayfinding and FAQs to enhance passenger support and satisfaction. Heathrow is working toward making every journey better, and Agentforce — the agentic layer on the Salesforce Platform — plays a central role in that vision. Heathrow has recently launched two new features powered by Agentforce: FAQs and in-terminal wayfinding. These features will make journeys smoother by providing instant support to help passengers quickly navigate the airport and find answers to common questions on the spot. “Passengers can be at Heathrow at all times of the day, whether they’re checking in at 4AM or have a connection at midday.

Data flow

Operational, customer, and engagement data is unified in Data 360, Agentforce uses that context to answer passenger questions and provide live airport wayfinding, and resulting actions and updates are written back to Service Cloud so teams and customers work from the same current state.
