Publication number: 20140229238Abstract: Systems and methods for prompting follow-up actions in response to a survey are disclosed. According to some implementations, a computer-implemented method may include conducting an automated survey on a customer associated with a customer location regarding a service performed by a servicer for a customer associated with the customer location, the automated survey being configured by a computer utilizing a processing device to automatically prompt the customer for survey result information regarding the quality of the service performed by the servicer for the customer associated with the customer location, wherein the customer location is the location of the customer from which the servicer leaves upon completion of the service performed by the servicer for the customer. The method may also include automatically receiving, by the computer, the survey result information regarding the service performed by the servicer for the customer associated with the customer location.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2014Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: 3PD, Inc.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner

Publication number: 20140046729Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing results of an automated survey are provided. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method comprises conducting, by a processing device, an automated survey on a survey recipient associated with a customer location. The automated survey is configured to prompt the survey recipient regarding the quality of a service performed for a customer associated with the customer location. The method also includes receiving survey result information from the survey recipient in response to conducting the automated survey. The method further includes analyzing the survey result information and determining if one or more subsequent follow-up actions are warranted based in part on analyzing the survey result information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2013Publication date: February 13, 2014Applicant: 3PD, Inc.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner

Patent number: 8515803Abstract: Systems and methods for initiating and conducting an automated survey are disclosed herein. According to some implementations, a computer-readable medium may be encoded with computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions includes logic adapted to receive a notification of the occurrence of a trigger event associated with a service performed for a customer. The computer-executable instructions further include logic adapted, in response to receiving the notification, to initiate an automated survey to be offered to a survey recipient. Additional logic is adapted to conduct the automated survey. The instructions also include logic adapted to receive survey result information from the survey recipient in response to the automated survey.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2011Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: 3PD, Inc.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner

Publication number: 20120059681Abstract: Systems and methods for managing service orders are disclosed herein. A computer implemented method, according to some implementations of the present disclosure, includes storing an estimated travel time (e.g., an estimated period of time for a servicer to travel from a current location to a service destination associated with a customer who is to receive a service from the servicer) and estimated time of arrival (ETA) (e.g., an estimated time of day when the servicer is expected to arrive at the service destination). The computer implemented method also includes calculating a call-ahead time for notifying the customer of the servicer's ETA at the service destination. The calculation of the call-ahead time may be based in part on a predetermined advanced-warning time period (e.g., a predetermined amount of time before the ETA for providing an advanced warning of the ETA) and the ETA.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: 3PD, INC.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner

Publication number: 20120022905Abstract: Systems and methods for prompting follow-up actions in response to a survey. According to some implementations, a computer implemented method includes receiving survey result information that is extracted from an automated survey offered to a survey recipient. The method also includes receiving an indication that one or more follow-up actions are warranted based in part on an analysis of the survey result information and providing a notification to one or more individuals responsible for performing the one or more follow-up actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: 3PD, INC.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner

Publication number: 20120016720Abstract: Systems and method for analyzing results of an automated survey are disclosed herein. According to some implementations, a computer implemented method comprises receiving survey result information, where the survey result information includes information extracted from an automated survey offered to a survey recipient. The computer implemented method also comprises performing an analysis of the survey result information and determining if the analysis of the survey result information warrants one or more follow-up actions with a customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: 3PD, INC.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner

Publication number: 20110137698Abstract: Systems and methods for managing service orders are disclosed herein. A computer implemented method, according to some implementations of the present disclosure, includes storing an estimated travel time and estimated time of arrival (ETA). The estimated travel time may be defined as an estimated period of time for a servicer to travel from a current location to a service destination associated with a customer who is to receive a service from the servicer. The ETA may be defined as an estimated time of day when the servicer is expected to arrive at the service destination. The computer implemented method also includes calculating a call-ahead time defined by a time of day when the customer is to be notified of the servicer's ETA at the service destination. The calculation of the call-ahead time may be based in part on a predetermined advanced-warning time period and the ETA.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2010Publication date: June 9, 2011Applicant: 3PD, INC.Inventors: Karl Meyer, Jonathan Turner
