Agent Collision Detection

Ticket Management Collision Detection Agent Coordination

What is Agent Collision Detection?

Agent collision happens when multiple customer service agents unknowingly respond to the same customer, which can cause confusion and frustration. LiveAgent’s Agent Collision Detection ensures multiple agents don’t work on the same ticket, reducing confusion and improving your support team’s efficiency.

How Does It Work?

LiveAgent shows you exactly who’s viewing a ticket and who’s answering it in real-time. This powerful feature works with the To Solve algorithm to make sure that agents don’t open a ticket that is already being worked on.
