  • Publication number: 20250039300
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving the intelligence, efficiency, distribution, routing, prioritization, and/or otherwise optimization of web and/or telecommunication channels regarding website and/or contact center traffic, visitors, load, and/or resources. In one aspect, contact connection data and initial activity data of a contact is obtained that comprises information regarding the contact's activity on an unassisted channel of a service provider. Agent data of a plurality of agents at a contact center is obtained and, based on the initial activity data and the agent data, a determination is made whether to (a) direct the contact to an assisted channel of the service provider, or (b) maintain the contact on the unassisted channel of the service provider. The contact may be paired to an agent of the contact center upon receipt of a request from the contact to establish an agent connection with the contact center system.

  • Publication number: 20240414271
    Abstract: Techniques for decisioning behavioral pairing in a task assignment system are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for decisioning behavioral pairing in a task assignment system comprising: determining, by at least one computer processor communicatively coupled to and configured to operate in the task assignment system, a plurality of possible task-agent pairings among at least one task waiting for assignment and at least one agent available for assignment; and selecting, by the least one computer processor for assignment in the task assignment system, a first task-agent pairing of the plurality of possible task-agent pairings based at least in part on a first offer set to be offered by the agent or a first compensation to be received by the agent.
