  • Patent number: 11574348
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the generation of job-specific contact centers are disclosed. The system may enable customers to generate a contact center during a job bidding phase and/or during pendency of the job. The contact center may enable communications between the customer and one or more contractors. The generated contact center may be both customer specific and job specific. The contact center may include any suitable communication technology, including an interactive voice response (IVR) system.

  • Patent number: 11361258
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting a start and end of section keystrokes, measuring a section time between the start and end of section keystrokes; aggregating the measured section time with previously measured section times; comparing the aggregate of the measured section times with a section target time; and sending an alert when a difference between the aggregate of the measured section times and the section target time is greater than a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11063880
    Abstract: A communications system is configured to facilitate communication via a plurality of communication types and comprises at least one queue monitor. The system is configured to determine a number of users on hold in a queue for each of the communication types, to compare the determined number of users on hold to a configurable threshold value for each communication type and, when the number of users on hold in a queue for a first communication type exceeds a threshold value for the first communication type, to send a notification to one or more of the users on hold in that queue, the notification comprising an option to switch to an alternative communication type.
