• Allows the agent to simply logout from the AgentDesk Application by selecting a logout reason defined by the administrator.

• Allows Expertflow CX supervisors to monitor real-time dashboards to view the summary statistics of the contact center, including queues, agent states, and ongoing conversations with agents and bots, enabling them to optimize contact center efficiency. This ability to monitor critical performance metrics allows them to train and encourage agent behavior so that agents can perform consistently and efficiently.

• Supervisors can silently monitor the conversation. 

• Supervisors can interrupt an agent's conversation using Barge In to interact with both the customer and the agent to resolve any concerns, if any.

• Supervisors can create, edit, and delete announcements for their team agents.

• The business admin can upload the license information for agents and supervisors.

• The business administrators can select the time zone as per their server location, choose the language that the system should support, and set it as the default language.

• The administrators can make various configurations to make the system ready, such as adding a bot connector, adding media routing domains, mapping MRDs to the channel type, creating attributes, assigning these attributes to agents, creating queues, adding steps to queues, changing the maximum task limit for agents' MRD, adding channel providers, and setting up a new channel.

• The business administrator is authorized to make other configurations, such as adding a Web Widget for web chat, adding reason codes for being not-ready or logout, adding wrap-up forms, adding new channel types, and adding lists to handle PULL-Mode requests.

With multitenancy, you can set up multiple virtually independent tenants provisioned from the same underlying infrastructure. Each tenant operates as a complete, independent contact center environment possessing its own configurations, agents, teams, customers, and interactions.

See Multitenancy for more details.

• Routes customer interaction requests from any channel to the same conversation and the same agent

• Introduces two ways of routing the requests. Precision routing/Push-mode routing and PULL-mode routing.

• PULL-mode lists - for certain media channels, customer interaction requests are pushed to pull-mode lists. Agents subscribe to these lists to fetch and process on demand.

• CX routing facilitates categorizing and prioritizing customers in a way that best meets the business requirements.

• A wide range of routing logic that can accurately target and selectively route different classes of customers by prioritized routing treatment

• Implements multi-queue priority to define priority for each queue (1-10, with 10 being the highest). In cases where multiple queues have the same priority, the system considers an individual task’s priority and longest waiting time, respectively.

• Introduces Interruptible and Non-interruptible Channel Categories to define whether a chat channel category should be interrupted if there is a voice call and vice versa.

• Ensures that each customer is routed to the right agent at the right location for, first time to maximize the resolution of the request.

• Adds Auto Sync MRD to automatically sync all associated MRDs.

• Provides various tabular and graphical historical reports, IVR reports and real-time dashboards with flexible presentation options using Superset for historical reports and Grafana for dashboards.

• Existing out-of-the-box reports allow the business to review historical and real-time dashboards or view custom reports to track the information required.

The Business Calendars feature allows administrators to define and manage operational schedules, including working hours, holidays, and out-of-office periods. Businesses can create multiple, distinct calendars to represent the schedules of different sites, channels, or teams.

A key benefit is the ability to communicate active working hours to customers, setting clear expectations for availability.

This feature replaces the older EF Business Calendars module in SupervisorTools.

Conduct surveys through any Customer Channel (voice, chat, Web, Email) after a Conversation with an actor (agent, chat, or voice bot).

As a Conversation Designer, you can use Expertflow Conversation Studio with prebuilt survey nodes. You may also extend and customize the interaction flow with 3rd party integration that best suits your interaction management requirements.

CX Survey Reports provide detailed insights based on surveys.

Expertflow CX Outbound provides tools to design, execute, and monitor multi-channel outbound communication campaigns, enabling outreach to contacts via calls, SMS, WhatsApp, and other digital channels. A key aspect of the solution is ensuring compliance through features like robust contact validation against internal and public Do Not Contact (DNC) lists. The system utilizes Conversation Studio, a flow-based interface for configuring outbound interaction logic without requiring traditional programming. Core to this are the Seize, Wait, and Init nodes, which control agent and communication port allocation and the controlled initiation of customer interactions for campaign effectiveness.

Is designed to help contact centers monitor, evaluate, and enhance agent performance. Quality Managers can create and assign evaluation jobs to Evaluators. The solution provides a number of different reports ranging from review volume, teams comparison, individual team/ agent performance over time and Evaluators' calibration. For more details see our product datasheet.

QM integrates with Cisco (UCCE) to create conversations (with their relevant activities/ recordings) for calls handled on Cisco Finesse and exposes APIs for other third-party Contact Centres.

• Adds performance improvement features to enhance the system’s overall performance, such as replacing Conversation Controller with Conversation Studio, migrating Conversation Search APIs to GraphQL, and Bulk upload.

•  Allows agents to schedule, view and update a scheduled activity on AgentDesk, with a customer at a scheduled date/time. Exposes Campaign Scheduler APIs for third-party CRMs or Campaign Managers to upload contacts or create callback requests/ appointments for customers, optionally with a named agent or on a specified skill.  

While agents are handling customer requests, they can also view all upcoming / scheduled activities planned with a customer, on the Agent Desk in addition to the past customer activities.

• Expertflow CX offers a centralized Identity and Access Management solution, backed by Keycloak, for enhanced security. This ensures complete security for users while accessing all Expertflow CX resources by passing a process of  User Authentication and Authorization.

• Users are managed in the Keycloak Admin Console. This allows business administrators to manage users, roles, and permissions.

• Expertflow CX can be deployed as a standalone web application on-prem or on the cloud. To make authentication work, business administrators need to set up a client (resource server) in the Keycloak instance.

• Apart from standalone deployment, Expertflow CX can be set up within the Cisco Finesse environment i.e, UCCE or UCCX. This authenticates users in two ways. Either Login Finesse (With SSO) or Login Finesse (Without SSO).

• Expertflow CX provides Permission and Access Management (using Keycloak IAM) to access different application resources. For the top-level roles such as admin, agent, and supervisor, role-based permissions are available, and at granular access levels, group-based implementation is also available.

• Using an industry-standard encryption algorithm (AES256), Expertflow CX encrypts certain types of data. 

• Adds TLS encryption and authentication on all CX core components.

• Adds Two-factor Authentication support via Google/Microsoft Authenticator App and SMS

• Adds API Security using Application Gateway

• Provides concurrent user licenses. So businesses can buy concurrent user licenses from the Expertflow Online Shop, for the concurrent number of agents who are going to use the Agent App.
