Abstract

A system, method and program product for dispatching agents. A system is provided that includes: a data processing engine for inputting a claim and creating an opportunity; an agent system interface that provides a communication link and maintains information for a network of agents; a matching system that identifies a set of agents from the network of agents to handle an aspect of the claim; a selection system that broadcasts the opportunity to the set of agents, analyzes responses from the set of agents, and assigns the claim to a selected agent; and a tracking system that monitors performance of the selected agent, and collects feedback regarding the selected agent.

Claims

1. An Internet of Things (IoT) platform having an agent dispatch system for handling loss conditions associated with assets in the IoT platform, comprising:

a data processing engine that inputs loss information for an asset, interfaces with third party data sources to obtain policy details for the asset, and creates at least one of an assessment opportunity or a containment opportunity;

an agent system interface that provides a communication link and maintains information for a network of agents;

a system that broadcasts an opportunity comprising at least one of the assessment opportunity and containment opportunity to the set of agents, processes responses from the set of agents, and assigns the opportunity to a selected agent; and

a dispatch system that causes the selected agent to be dispatched to the asset.

2. The IoT platform of claim 1, wherein the network of agents comprise software agents.

10. The agent dispatch system of claim 1, wherein the data processing engine includes an application programming interface (API) that interfaces with a third party claims assignment management system.

3. A technology platform having an agent dispatch system for handling loss conditions, comprising:

a data processing engine that inputs loss information, interfaces with third party data sources to obtain policy details, and creates at least one of an assessment opportunity or a containment opportunity;

an agent system interface that provides a communication link and maintains information for a network of agents;

a matching system that identifies a set of matching agents from the network of agents;

a selection system that broadcasts an opportunity comprising at least one of the assessment opportunity and containment opportunity to the set of matching agents, processes responses from the set of matching agents, and assigns the opportunity to a selected agent; and

an agent performance system that tracks and monitors performance of the selected agent, and collects feedback regarding the selected agent.

4. The technology platform of claim 3, wherein the data processing engine includes an application programming interface (API) that integrates with third party claim management systems.

5. The technology platform of claim 3, wherein the opportunity is broadcast over a network that utilizes at least one of:

a text message, an email, or a mobile application.

6. The technology platform of claim 3, wherein the network of agents comprise software agents.

7. The agent dispatch system of claim 3, wherein the matching system includes an algorithm that ranks the set of agents based on proximity to a location of a type of loss associated with the opportunity.

8. The agent dispatch system of claim 7, wherein the algorithm further ranks the set of agents based on at least one of:

cost, experience, prior feedback, or expertise.

9. The agent dispatch system of claim 3, wherein the opportunity includes an associated priority level.

11. A computerized method that provides agent dispatching in a technology platform, comprising:

inputting an electronic record that details information about a loss condition associated with an asset;

interfacing with a third party data source to obtain policy details associated with the loss condition;

creating an opportunity that includes at least one of an assessment assignment opportunity or a containment assignment opportunity;

identifying a set of matching agents from a network of agents to handle the opportunity;

broadcasting the opportunity to the set of matching agents, analyzing responses from the set of matching agents, and assigning the opportunity to a selected agent; and

monitoring performance of the selected agent.

12. The computerized method of claim 11, further comprising providing an application programming interface (API) that integrates with the third party data source, wherein the third party data source includes a claims management system.

13. The computerized method of claim 11, wherein the opportunity is broadcast over a network that utilizes at least one of:

a text message, an email, or a mobile application.

14. The computerized method of claim 11, wherein the network of agents comprise one of software agents, adjusters, and emergency service providers.

15. The computerized method of claim 14, further comprising using an algorithm to rank the set of matching agents based on proximity to a site of a loss associated with a claim.

16. The computerized method of claim 11, wherein the algorithm further ranks the set of matching agents based on at least one of:

cost, experience, prior feedback, or expertise.

17. The computerized method of claim 11, further comprising providing an application programming interface (API) that integrates with a third party claim assignment management system.

18. The computerized method of claim 11, wherein an asset include one of:

a device, a system, personal property or real property.

19. The computerized method of claim 11, wherein technology platform comprises one of a IoT platform, a data processing platform, or an insurance platform.
