Overview

What is QueueMetrics?

QueueMetrics is a highly scalable monitoring and reporting suite designed specifically to suit the needs of contact centers based on the Asterisk PBX.

An astonishing range of reports and the Real-Time panel, showing call center activities, are only part of the tools Loway provides, allowing you to take the concept of measuring to improve to a whole new level.

The best part is that there is no client-software installation, since QueueMetrics is designed to work within a browser. This means it can be accessed from anywhere as long as you possess the right credentials.

Last but not least, QueueMetrics is also highly customizable. You can fine tune almost every functionality to suit your needs, without having to undergo a long customization process.

Quality Assessment

In this chapter you will learn the QueueMetrics Quality Assessment (QA) module. This feature allows you to define a set of metrics to be used for call grading and have the QA team grade calls while they’re being processed or from historical recordings and run complete reports by queue and by agent.

Agent-Oriented functionalities

Overview

By taking advantage of the Agents' page, each agent can:

  • see their own status, i.e. whether they’re logged on or they’ve been disconnected
  • see their last calls, including information like Caller ID, duration and waiting times
  • see from which queue the call is coming, even if they lost the announcement message
  • launch external web apps - like CRM software - that might be automatically linked to the Caller-ID or other information input by the caller
  • read the messages broadcasted to him
  • start a new conversation calling a phone number
  • have a subset of AGAW information
  • track information about the current call on QA forms

Also, it is possible to use this page to:

  • Log the agent on and off to Asterisk and/or a specific queue
  • Pause and un-pause the agent, entering the pause activity code if needed
  • Set the outcome code for each call

How to access the Agents' Page

In order to access the Agent Page the agent simply needs to enter its own credentials in the QueueMetrics login page. QueueMetrics will automatically recognize it as an Agent and will prompt it to its Agent Page.

Login/Logout from Queues

From the Agent Logon Widget in the Agent page agents can decide on which queues they want to logon or logoff. The process is extremely straightforward and requires only the extension number from which the agent wants to operate.

Breaks and Pause Codes

From the "Pauses" Widget in the Agent Page, each agent is allowed to register its own breaks linking them to specific Pause codes.

Setting an Outcome Code for each call

An agent can assign an outcome code to each call from the "Call List" widget, which offers a summary of the calls handled by the agent. You can associate the desired Outcome code, by clicking on the "tag" icon associated with the call. By design you can add an outcome code within 30 minutes from the end of the call; after this time period it won't be possible to set an outcome code for the call.

Reschedule a call through Wombat Dialer

QueueMetrics Icon Agent Page allows agents to reschedule the call immediately without having to worry about tracking down all the recalls. The rescheduled call will be handled by a specific campaign on WombatDialer and will be executed automatically at a specific date and time.

Integration with CRM and External Pages

Queuemetrics allows you to include different URL in the Icon Agent Page; is possible to load an external URL in the background or in the Web Panel that could be showed when an agent needs it and moved in the page like with the other panels.

Dialout

The Queuemetrics Dialout Panel is used to start a call through an outbound queue where the agent is already logged in. An agent can start a call by typing the number in the text field and selecting the outbound queue.

Administrative functionalities

Installation

QueueMetrics can run on (almost) any kind of system, RPM-based (CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora) and different ones like Debian, Ubuntu, etc.
In order to show differences between manual and automatic installation tips will be explained in this section.
