  • Patent number: 11507966
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed identification of demand for documentation for particular languages and facilitate modification of documentation to the particular languages based upon demand. A multi-region document revision model which includes a correction factor, provides for monitoring of how information is being consumed in different regions via different platforms. Identification is performed for demand for documentation for particular languages and facilitates modification of documentation to the particular languages based upon demand. Various internal and external social media platforms are searched to provide a data set which can then be used to customize a language set for a particular language. In certain implementations the documentation includes respective semantic files which are used by a /business unit to validate and update the documentation.

  • Patent number: 11501229
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, analytics are applied to work items while the work items are waiting in a work queue in order to optimize the routing and allocation of work items to agents in the most efficient manner possible, while optimizing agents being assigned to work items they are most qualified to handle. By performing a look ahead at more than the initial work item, the system assesses the agent skills required by imminent work items in the work queue. This is then compared to a skillset of each available and/or soon to be available agent in order to achieve the optimal allocation of the work items to maximize the work item being assigned the best qualified agent. The work items are then routed to the agents accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11494717
    Abstract: A system for retrieving messages of a supply process in a supply chain and methods for making and using the same. The system may bind a message received from a player of the supply chain with existing related messages, build a binding message set based on bound messages and retrieve the messages based on the binding message set. Messages issued by the player may follow frameworks generated between the player and other players of the supply chain. In accordance to a specific framework, a message between two players may have a common data element and may follow rules proscribed within the framework. Global standards or common data elements is not required, thereby permitting each participant in the supply chain to transmit messages in their preferred format.

  • Patent number: 11416800
    Abstract: Systems, method and computer program products for presenting to a user a visualization of a vehicle dealer performance assessment based on dealer location and vehicle sales transaction data, where the assessment is based on geographically normalized metrics. Dealer location data and historical vehicle sales transaction data is collected by a in a vehicle data system from external data sources. Distances from dealers to geographical regions of interest are determined, and differences between these distances are normalized to produce competition zone indices for the geographical regions. The competition zone indices are then used to aggregate the geographical regions into different competition zones in which dealers of interest have corresponding levels of competitive advantage or disadvantage, normalized according to typical distances associated with transactions in the respective geographical regions.

  • Patent number: 11379777
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of estimating a result of configuration change(s) in an enterprise. Enterprise information regarding a designated enterprise is gathered. The enterprise information is combined with anonymized information that is received from multiple enterprises to provide combined information. An actual impact of configuration changes in at least one enterprise (e.g., with regard to a first subset of the machines therein) is determined and/or a predictive impact of the configuration change(s) in at least one enterprise (e.g., with regard to a second subset of machines therein) is inferred. An estimate of a net financial result of implementing the configuration change(s) (e.g., with regard to the second subset of the machines) in the designated enterprise is generated based at least in part on the actual impact and/or the predictive impact.

  • Patent number: 11315066
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a return network simulation system that can simulate changes in a retailer's return network to determine the impact of those changes. Advantageously, being able to accurately simulate the retailer's return network means changes can be evaluated without first making those adjustments in the physical return network. Doing so avoids the cost of implementing the changes on the return network without first being able to predict whether the changes will have a net positive result (e.g., a positive result that offsets any negative results). A retailer can first simulate the change on the return network, review how the change affects one or more KPIs, and then decide whether to implement the change in the actual return network. As a result, the retailer has a reliable indicator whether the changes will result in a desired effect.

  • Patent number: 11308451
    Abstract: A range of dates is selected. For each date of the range of dates, a daily task list is displayed listing at least a portion of tasks having a start date or a due date matching the date. A user selection determines whether the daily task list includes only tasks having the start date or the due date for each date in the range of dates, or includes any task completed on each date. Appointments for each date in the range of dates may be presented, and the daily task list for each date may be displayed beneath, above, or alongside the appointments, or as part of a to do list. The tasks each may be assigned a color code allowing a task to be visually associated with another task or other object to which the color code also has been assigned.
