Abstract:
To respond to a call from a client to an organization, the call is directed to a lower-level agent associated with the organization for answering thereby. The lower-level agent employs a computing system of the organization, where the computing system includes an actuation device for initiating contact with a higher-level agent of the organization if it is determined that the calling client is calling regarding a matter worthy of escalation from the lower-level agent to the higher-level agent. A selection from the lower-level agent is received during the call of the actuation device to escalate the call from the lower-level agent to the higher-level agent, and in response to the received selection of the actuation device the call is escalated from the lower-level agent to the higher level agent.
Abstract:
A receiving box receives items for later retrieval by an enterprise. Upon an amount of received items being detected within the receiving box, a report is sent to the enterprise. A detector detects an amount of the received items in the receiving box and outputs a corresponding signal. A controller receives the signal and determines based thereon whether a triggering event has occurred. The triggering event represents that the receiving box has an amount of received items therein such that a person or service should be dispatched from the enterprise to the receiving box to empty same. A reporter is employed by the controller to report the triggering event as a message to the enterprise upon the controller determining that the triggering event has occurred.
