1. A method, comprising:

  • assigning an agent of a plurality of agents, by a processor, to service a customer by;

    calculating an agent range preference by subtracting a minimum distance from one agent to a customer from a maximum distance from another agent to the customer;

    calculating an adjusted distance scale by subtracting said minimum distance from the agent range preference;

    determining a distance adjustment for an agent within the agent range preference by multiplying the agent range preference times a proximity preference factor times a difference between the agent range preference and an agent distance to the customer and dividing by the calculated adjusted distance scale; and

    calculating a final ranking by subtracting the distance adjustment from an initial agent ranking.
