Abstract

A system and method is provided for providing contact center services via a mobile application on a mobile device. Status of a service request that is transmitted to a contact center is monitored. When a change in the status is detected, a notification is automatically transmitted to the mobile application. An interaction request is received from the mobile application in response to the notification. The interaction request identifies the service request. A party handling the service request is identified in response to receipt of the interaction request. The identified party is invited for engaging in interaction with the mobile device.

Claims (53)

1. A method for providing contact center services via a mobile application on a mobile device, the method comprising:

monitoring, by a processor, status associated with a service request transmitted to a contact center;

detecting change in the status;

determining, by the processor, whether a condition for transmitting a notification has been satisfied;

automatically transmitting, by the processor, a notification to the mobile application in response to determining that the condition has been satisfied;

receiving, by the processor, in response to the notification, a request for information on the service request;

transmitting, by the processor, the information in response to the request, the information for being displayed via the mobile application;

receiving, by the processor, an interaction request from the mobile application, wherein the interaction request includes an identifier for identifying the service request;

identifying, by the processor, based on the received identifier, a party assigned to handle the service request; and

inviting the identified party, by the processor, for engaging in interaction with the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the status identifies that the service request has been resolved.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the status identifies triggering of an alarm with respect to the service request, or identifies escalation of a problem associated with the service request.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

automatically transmitting the notification to a contact center agent.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction request is generated by the mobile application in response to actuation of an interaction option by a user of the mobile application.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction request is a mobile phone call to the contact center, wherein a telephone number for the contact center is provided to the mobile application as a push notification.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the telephone number is selected based on identification of a location of the mobile device.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

monitoring compliance with a service level agreement; and

visually depicting a level of compliance via a visual indicator.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification of the party is without further input from a user of the mobile device.

10. A system for providing contact center services via a mobile application on a mobile device, the system comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

monitor status associated with a service request transmitted to a contact center;

detect change in the status;

determine whether a condition for transmitting a notification has been satisfied;

automatically transmit a notification to the mobile application in response to determining that the condition has been satisfied

receive, in response to the notification, a request for information on the service request;

transmit the information in response to the request, the information for being displayed via the mobile application;

receive an interaction request from the mobile application, wherein the interaction request includes an identifier for identifying the service request;

identify, based on the received identifier, a party assigned to handle the service request; and

invite the identified party for engaging in interaction with the mobile device.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the status identifies that the service request has been resolved.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the interaction request is generated by the mobile application in response to actuation of an interaction option by a user of the mobile application.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the interaction request is a mobile phone call to the contact center, wherein a telephone number for the contact center is provided to the mobile application as a push notification.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the telephone number is selected based on identification of a location of the mobile device.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition is identification of a subscription to receive notifications.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inviting of the identified party includes:

transmitting, by the processor, a message to an end device accessible to the party, the message including the identifier for identifying the service request; and

transmitting, by the processor, a signal for establishing a communication session between the mobile device and the end device.

17. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

storing, by the processor, the identifier in memory;

matching the interaction request to the stored identifier; and

retrieve the identifier in response to making the match.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the condition is identification of a subscription to receive notifications.

19. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to invite the identified party include instructions that cause the processor to:

transmit a message to an end device accessible to the party, the message including the identifier for identifying the service request; and

transmit a message for establishing a communication session between the mobile device and the end device.

20. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

store the identifier in the memory;

match the interaction request to the stored identifier; and

retrieve the identifier in response to making the match.
