Abstract

A dynamic incident management system and method receives and stores business customer sales information. This information includes information about sales by day and time of day for a period of time at each business location. A machine learning model is generated for forecasting revenue for each business location based on the received information. A plurality of work orders are received for service calls to certain business customer sales locations. A priority is assigned to each of the received work orders. A rank is assigned to each of the received work orders having a common priority, based on, at least in part, a revenue forecast provided the machine learning module of sales at a projected day and time for the service call. Updated work orders having the priority and rank information are supplied to an incident management supplier for performing the associated service calls based on the priority and rank information.

Claims (34)

1 . A method of providing dynamic incident management, comprising:

receiving and storing, by a location revenue processing module running on a processor, business customer sales information for each business customer sales location among a plurality of business customer sales locations, the business customer sales information including information about sales by day and time of day for a period of time at each business customer sales location;

generating, by a location revenue forecasting module running on a processor, a machine learning model for forecasting revenue for each business customer sales location based on the received business customer sales information;

receiving and storing, by a work order management module running on a processor, a plurality of work orders for service calls to certain ones of the plurality of business customer sales locations, each work order for a corresponding one of the business customer sales locations;

assigning, by an incident scoring pipeline module running on a processor, a priority to each of the received work orders;

assigning, by the incident scoring pipeline module, a rank to each of the received work orders having a common priority, the rank based on, at least in part, a revenue forecast provided the machine learning module of revenue at each corresponding business customer sales location at a projected day and time for the service call associated with the work orders; and

forwarding, by the work order management module, updated work orders having priority and rank information to an incident management supplier for arranging for the associated service calls to be performed in an order based on the priority and rank information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, by a business metric store and dashboard module, a dashboard available via a wide area network, the dashboard providing business metric information about work order updates and revenue protected based upon the work order updates.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the business customer sales information is received via a wide area network.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the business customer sales information is received via a web application programming interface.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of work orders are received via a wide area network.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine learning model is a time-series module.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine learning model is regularly updated upon receipt of additional business customer sales information.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority is assigned to each received work order based on an equipment type and level of service required at each corresponding business location.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the rank is also assigned based on a factor of peak sales hours for each corresponding business location.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the rank is also assigned based on weighted average of factors including revenue, business day, peak sales hours, and location for each corresponding business location.

11 . A system for providing dynamic incident management, comprising:

a processor; and

a hard disk including executable instructions in an allocated portion thereof, wherein the executable instructions when executed by the processor from the hard disk cause the processor to:

receive and store business customer sales information for each business customer sales location among a plurality of business customer sales locations, the business customer sales information including information about sales by day and time of day for a period of time at each business customer sales location;

generate a machine learning model for forecasting revenue for each business customer sales location based on the received business customer sales information;

receive and store a plurality of work orders for service calls to certain ones of the plurality of business customer sales locations, each work order for a corresponding one of the business customer sales locations;

assign a priority to each of the received work orders;

assign a rank to each of the received work orders having a common priority, the rank based on, at least in part, a revenue forecast provided the machine learning module of revenue at each corresponding business customer sales location at a projected day and time for the service call associated with the work orders; and

forward updated work orders having priority and rank information to an incident management supplier for arranging for the associated service calls to be performed in an order based on the priority and rank information.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions when executed by the processor from the hard disk cause the processor to provide a dashboard available via a wide area network, the dashboard providing business metric information about work order updates and revenue protected based upon the work order updates.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the business customer sales information is received via a wide area network.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the business customer sales information is received via a web application programming interface.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of work orders are received via a wide area network.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the machine learning model is a time-series module.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the machine learning model is regularly updated upon receipt of additional business customer sales information.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the priority is assigned to each received work order based on an equipment type and level of service required at each corresponding business location.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the rank is also assigned based on a factor of peak sales hours for each corresponding business location.

20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the rank is also assigned based on weighted average of factors including revenue, business day, peak sales hours, and location for each corresponding business location.
