Inputting wrap-up codes is a standard piece of ACW work a contact centre agents typically completes. It allows a call to be classified so insight can be extracted on popular topics, locations, type of caller and so on. Some contact centres also use the accuracy of codes as a KPI for individual agents.

So how can you get from Aberdeen to Wells avoiding ‘other’?
The answer is in auto-tagging or auto-classification, made possible by the latest in AI and machine learning.
