Method and system for automatic detection of agent availability to attend a schedule and reassignment thereof

Last updated:

Abstract:

A computerized method for automatic detection of an availability of an agent to attend a schedule of customer calls in a call center and reassignment thereof may include assessing an agent availability to attend a schedule in a predefined time interval before a starting time of the schedule. If the assigned agent is not available, candidate agent availability may be assessed from a plurality of schedules to participate in the schedule of the unavailable agent. One or more candidate agents from a plurality of agents may be identified to replace the unavailable assigned agent based on the candidate agent availability. A replacement agent chosen from the one or more candidate agents may be assigned based on skills or preferences for each of the one or more identified candidate agents. A supervisor may be notified that the chosen replacement agent will attend the schedule in place of the unavailable assigned agent.
