OVERVIEW

Great service starts with getting the right case to the right agent — fast. But in most teams, assignment is still a bottleneck. Agents are either overwhelmed or waiting. Priorities are missed. High-value cases get lost in the queue.

Q-assign for Service fixes that. Native to Salesforce, it applies intelligent rules and real-time data to automatically assign cases based on skill, workload, and urgency. The result? Faster resolutions, balanced workloads, and a better customer experience — without manual routing or guesswork.

Whether you’re managing a few dozen cases a day or several thousand, Q-assign scales with your team, your workflows, and your service goals.

The case assignment challenge

For most service teams, case assignment is either manual or static. A manager scans a queue and makes the call, or Salesforce applies round-robin rules that don’t account for complexity, expertise, or bandwidth.

That leads to:

  • Uneven workloads
    Some agents are swamped. Others are underused. It hurts morale and delays resolution.
  • Missed SLAs
    Without real-time prioritization, urgent cases get buried — and SLA breaches follow.
  • Slow handoffs
    When a case reaches the wrong agent, it gets rerouted. Each reroute adds friction and wait time.
  • No accountability
    With unclear logic behind assignments, it’s hard to track performance or optimize process.

How Q-assign for Service works

Q-assign brings structure, speed, and intelligence to case distribution — using rules you define and data you trust.

Rule-based logic with AI precision
Build assignment rules around any combination of criteria: agent skills, availability, tier, case type, priority, language, or product line. You control the logic. Q-assign does the heavy lifting.

Real-time case evaluation
As soon as a case is created, Q-assign evaluates it using your parameters. It considers complexity, customer profile, previous interactions, and workload — then matches it to the best-fit agent.

Dynamic workloads
Q-assign updates in real time. As availability or volumes shift, assignments adapt automatically. No queues to monitor. No manual intervention required.

Seamless handoffs with full context
Each case lands with the right context. Agents see full case history, related records, and AI-driven insights — so they can act quickly and confidently.

Tiered support and escalations
Assign complex cases to specialized Tier-2 agents. Use escalation logic for exceptions or red flags — all without disrupting your core routing strategy.
