  • Publication number: 20180091652
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking engagement with an online application while multi-task among assignments are disclosed. The technology tracks time an agent actively spends on each work item by tracking how long the tab is in-focus in the service console. Agents log in, and work may be routed to them, based on their capacity. After the agent accepts the work items, the system tracks the time the agent stays on each open work tab. Each time the agent switches to a different tab, or back and forth, the time count stops for the previous tab and starts counting for the current tab. When the agent closes the tab, the total active time spent on the related tab is saved along with the agent's work record. If an agent logs out, the active time is saved for all of their open work tabs and subtabs.

  • Patent number: 9641685
    Abstract: Omni-channel routing broker technology is usable to improve the experience for customers and for workers using service channels, especially for very large enterprise service operation centers that have large pools of agents, helping businesses determine the relative priority for handling a variety of service channels, and to efficiently route issues accordingly. Omni-channel routing broker includes intelligent routing of service requests in a large, distributed service center operation, efficiently prioritizing the routing of work across organizations to agents based on availability, capacity and priority—in a multi-tenant environment. The disclosed methods are usable for managing digital data for many tenants to software instances, including groups of users who share common access with a specific set of privileges to a software instance of at least one application.
