We feel empoweredto take advantage of any futureopportunities that the businessprovides us.– Bob MeansDirector of Business Solutions, Coca-ColaBottling Company UnitedCoca-Cola Bottling Company United collaboratedwith Happiest Minds to create a master automatedservice agent they’ve dubbed “Asa,” which consistsof several bots.
