Business value

Organizations typically use queue-based routing, where incoming service requests are routed to a relevant queue, and agents work on service requests picked from the queue. This can be error-prone, inefficient, and necessitate continuous queue supervision. Intelligent routing and assignment capabilities leverage rule-based and machine learning classification to ensure incoming work items are routed to the best-suited worker or queue.

Feature details

The intelligent routing and assignment services use a combination of artificial intelligent models and rules to assign incoming service requests from all channels, including cases, chat, digital messages, and custom entities. The consistent engine ensures agent work is accurately accounted for regardless of the channel it is coming from. The service works alongside the legacy routing and can offer operational efficiencies for organizations by eliminating the need for constant queue supervision and manual work distribution.
