With Contact Lens, contact center supervisors will be able to emerging themes and trends from customer conversations, conduct fast, full-text search on call transcripts to troubleshoot customer issues and improve contact center agents’ performance with call analytics.
The company will launch Contact Lens in late 2020, which will provide alerts and issues during in-progress calls, enabling earlier intervention when a customer experiences a poor experience.
Later this year, Contact Lens will introduce new features that provide supervisors with real-time assistance by offering a dashboard that will show the sentiment progression of live calls in a contact center.
