System and method for generating a network of contact center agents and customers for optimized routing of interactions
First Claim
1. A system for routing interactions to contact center agents, the system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory, wherein the memory has stored therein instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
identify a network of agents and customers, wherein each node of the network represents either an agent or a customer, and a connection is made between the node representing the agent and the node representing the customer;
display the network of agents and customers including the nodes and the connections as a graph on a display screen;
adjust a value associated with each of the connections, wherein the value is indicative of a fit between a customer and agent pair in the network of agents and customers;
store the adjusted value in association with the connection;
select a current interaction to be routed;
identify a first group of agents based on one or more constraints for determining one or more candidate agents;
determine a fit between a current customer and each of the candidate agents based on the value associated with the corresponding connections;
select a particular agent of the candidate agents with a best fit; and
transmit a signal for routing the current interaction to the particular agent.

Abstract
A system and method for muting interactions to contact center agents. The system is adapted to identify a network of agents and customers. Each node of the network represents either an agent or a customer, and a connection is made between the node representing the agent and the node representing the customer, in response to identifying a fit between the customer and the agent. The system is adapted to identify a current interaction to be routed, identify a first group of agents based on one or more constraints for generating one or more candidate agents, and determine the fit between a current customer and each of the candidate agents based on the network of agents and customers. The system is further adapted to select a particular agent of the candidate agents with a best fit, and transmit a signal for routing the current interaction to the particular agent.
