Abstract: In various implementations, customer service may be provided using a pager and/or user device. Signal(s) associated with a pager and/or user device may be received. One or more metrics may be determined at least partially based on the received signals. The metric(s) may be monitored. In various implementations, a management system of a location may receive a signal from a pager and/or user device indicating that an event has occurred at the location. A time the signal is received by the management system may be determined. One or more time-related metrics may be determined based at least partially on the received signal, the determined time, or both.

Abstract: A system for displaying product information is described herein. The system includes a database and a server including a processor that is programmed to receive search data associated with a product search request received and generate a ranked product list in response to the product search request. The processor selects a first sorting value indicative of a first data category included in the search data, generates a first sorted group of product records as a function of the first sorting value, and stores the first sorted group in the database. The processor selects a second sorting value indicative of a second data category, generates a second sorted group of product records as a function of the first sorted group and the second sorting value, and generates the ranked product list as a function of the second sorted group.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for aggregating fallouts in an ordering system. In use, a repository of fallout errors associated with an ordering system is maintained. Further, one or more fallout events associated with the ordering system are automatically detected. Additionally, it is determined that the one or more detected fallout events are associated with at least one fallout error associated with processing an order in the ordering system. Furthermore, it may be determined whether the at least one fallout error corresponds to one of a plurality of stored fallout errors stored in the repository of fallout errors, in response to determining that the one or more detected fallout events are associated with the at least one fallout error from processing an order in the ordering system.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for automatically remediating fallouts in an ordering system of a consumer telecommunications network. In use, one or more fallout errors are detected in one or more ordering systems associated with a consumer telecommunications network. Information associated with the one or more fallout errors is stored in a fallout error repository associated with the one or more ordering systems. Additionally, it is determined whether the one or more fallout errors are known fallout errors associated with one or more automatic processes for remediating the one or more fallout errors. Further, the one or more fallout errors are automatically remediated utilizing the one or more automatic processes for remediating the one or more fallout errors, in response to determining that the one or more fallout errors are known fallout errors associated with one or more automatic processes for remediating the one or more fallout errors.

Abstract: An end-user device operable in a retail store records a voice conversation held in the retail store. The recording is transmitted to a server for comparing it to recordings of other conversations from a plurality of other retail stores. The server makes a recommendation based on the comparing. Embodiments of the invention are also directed to an analytics system that collects real-time metrics data for various virtual or physical retail stores associated with a plurality of contact centers. The system performs real-time analytics of the collected metrics data for identifying a product or service. The processor modifies, based on the real-time analytics, a prior service or product to be offered by a particular retail store, with the identified service or product. The processor pushes the modified service or product for display on the end-user device use in the particular retail store.

Abstract: An augmented reality commercial platform is provided to simulate a product in an environment. The augmented reality commercial platform may include a merchant component, consumer component, augmentation engine, illustrator component, and monetization component. A method to simulate a product in an environment using the augmented reality commercial platform is also provided.

Abstract: This invention is a system for providing persistence searching for consumer items that performs the steps of: retrieving a set of get requests uniquely associated with external vendor sites wherein each get request is specifically formatted for its external vendor site and simultaneously transmitting the set of get requests to the respective external vendor sites. Asynchronously receiving current results from the external vendor sites, extracting the price from the current results for each item contained in the current results received from the external vendor sites, comparing the extracted price of the current results with the price of a previously stored results, generating a notification and including in the notification, a link to the external vendor site to provide a purchasing opportunity to a user where the price of the current results is lower than the price of the stored results.
