Abstract

Method for managing a promises management apparatus comprises automatically transcribing, using an automatic speech recognition engine, a call between a caller and an agent, based on real-time call stream of the call, wherein the caller calls the agent for resolution of a concern using the promises management apparatus. The method comprises automatically extracting, using a natural language processing engine, in real-time a promise made by the agent to the caller based on the transcript of the call, generating promises data by assigning an agent, a type, a timeline, an action, and a mode of execution to the promise, and storing the promises data in a datastore.

Claims (45)

1. A method for managing a promises management apparatus, the method comprising:

automatically transcribing, using an automatic speech recognition engine, a call between a caller and an agent, based on real-time call stream of the call, wherein the caller calls the agent for resolution of a concern using the promises management apparatus;

automatically extracting, using a natural language processing engine, in real-time a promise made by the agent to the caller based on the transcript of the call;

generating promises data by assigning an agent, a type, a timeline, an action, and a mode of execution to the promise; and

storing the promises data in a datastore.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mode of execution comprises a mode of communication employed to communicate with the caller, a rank of an agent assigned to communicate with the caller, and a place of origin of the communication to the caller.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

retrieving the promises data from the datastore; and

displaying the promises data in a graphical user interface (GUI).

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein displaying the promise data in the GUI comprises displaying in one or more fields of the GUI:

a status for a day;

a first call resolution (FCR) board;

a list of one or more promises; and

a status of the one or more promises.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the FCR board comprises one or more performance metrices of the agent.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more performance metrices comprise a customer satisfaction (CSAT) score, an FCR score, a repeat call score, and a customer churn score.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more performance metrices of an agent are sent to a supervisor of the agent.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the status of a promise comprises an action taken towards fulfilment of a promise, a further action necessary to fulfil the promise, a timeline for taking of the further action, and identification of an agent assigned to take the further action.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising;

generating a report for a quality manager or a supervisor of the agent based on promises data stored in the datastore; and

sending the report to the quality manager or the supervisor.

10. A promises management apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and

a memory communicably coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed using the at least one processor, implements a method comprising:

automatically transcribing, using an automatic speech recognition engine, a call between a caller and an agent, based on real-time call stream of the call, wherein the caller calls the agent for resolution of a concern using the promises management apparatus;

automatically extracting, using a natural language processing engine, in real-time a promise made by the agent to the caller based on the transcript of the call;

generating promise data by assigning an agent, a type, a timeline, an action, and a mode of execution to the promise; and

storing the promise data in a datastore.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the mode of execution comprises a mode of communication employed to communicate with the caller, a rank of an agent assigned to communicate with the caller, and a place of origin of the communication to the caller.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising:

retrieving the promises data from the datastore; and

displaying the promises data in a graphical user interface (GUI).

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein displaying the promise data in the GUI comprises displaying in one or more fields of the GUI:

a status for a day;

a first call resolution (FCR) board;

a list of one or more promises; and

a status of the one or more promises.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the FCR board comprises one or more performance metrices of the agent, wherein the one or more performance metrices comprise a customer satisfaction (CSAT) score, an FCR score, a repeat call score, and a customer churn score, and wherein the one or more performance metrices of an agent are sent to a supervisor of the agent.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the status of a promise comprises an action taken towards fulfilment of a promise, a further action necessary to fulfil the promise, a timeline for taking of the further action, and identification of an agent assigned to take the further action.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising;

generating a report for a quality manager or a supervisor of the agent based on promises data stored in the datastore; and

sending the report to the quality manager or the supervisor.

17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the automatically transcribing is performed in real-time.

18. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the generating promises data is performed in real-time.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automatically transcribing is performed in real-time.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating promises data is performed in real-time.
