Optimise "Route to Last Agent" (LCA) for Reduced Wait Times
Enhancement suggestion for the "Route to Last Agent" (LCA) functionality in voice queue events.
Current Behaviour: The current LCA queue event employs a strict policy, exclusively routing a call to the last-contacted agent. A key issue arises when this agent is unavailable (e.g., busy, away, or offline), as the call remains queued for the event's duration. This results in preventable delays and extended customer wait times.
Suggested Improvement: The LCA functionality should be enhanced to be more flexible. It should still first attempt to route the call to the last-contacted agent; however, if that agent is unavailable, the system should immediately fall back to routing the call to any other suitable agent based on standard queue logic (such as Longest Idle Time or skills-based routing). This change would ensure calls are handled more quickly, significantly reducing wait times and consequently improving the Net Promoter Score.
