Distri-Q was created as a concept application in 2007, and evolved into a very complete solution for emergency services, dispatching centers and reception desks. The application is an end user voice tool built on top of Genesys® software.

The complex telephony environment of emergency services, reception desks and dispatching centres calls for a solution that allows the user to handle relatively high call volumes without losing control.

Imagine… a tool that tailors itself to your complex environment:

• Shows you who’s available and who’s not, organizes your calls on the screen and lets you transfer them by a simple drag and drop.

• You know who’s calling, why they’re calling, even before you answer the call. You can manage multiple calls on the screen with just mouse clicks, select the calls from queues as required and prioritize them.

• Quick dial buttons and an easy-to-use phone book give you access to contact information without delay.

DDM Consulting has answered this wish list, and lots more, by developing Distri-Q. It’s not just a CTI toolbar: the application’s main purpose is to give users full visibility and control over all calls. And the best part is: it’s intuitive and easy to use.

DDM Consulting has always considered the customer’s needs to be the driving force for the functional evolution of Distri-Q.

As a result, Distri-Q is an application with very rich functionality,while at the same time remaining a user friendly application.From the medical vocabulary, DDM Consulting adopted the idea of a “Waiting Room” as the key element for organizing calls.

A waiting room is a representation of calls waiting to be handled, or waiting to be transferred to a service or an agent. Users can simply double click or drag and drop to move calls between waiting rooms, or move a call from a waiting room to their phone (CTI toolbar) or vice versa.

This product folder gives you an overview of the enhanced functions and possibilities of the Distri-Q application.

• Hereisanexampleconfiguration,showing you some key elements of the application like waiting rooms, CTI toolbar and wallboards, and the auxiliary geolocation function.

• Distri-Q allows you to customize the application’s appearance and behavior to your own needs.

You can do this by using the centralizedconfiguration(mainconfiguration,behaviour,availablefunctionality and data), the local configuration(colours,sounds,skin)and the docking manager (positioning of application parts within the main application window or freely placed on the desktop).

• The waiting room is the representation of calls waiting to be handled. Each call can be presented with call data, colour and icon to give the user as much information as needed.

• General waiting room: calls waiting beforetheyarefirstansweredbyauser, like in the example ‘Incoming calls’. A general waiting room is actually acollection of incoming service num-bers (dial in numbers for the customer, or internal service numbers).

• Functional waiting room: calls that were already answered by a dispatcher or reception desk employee, and are waiting to be transferred to a specialized function.

• Personal waiting room: calls that are waitingtobehandledbyaspecificuser. The calls might have been transferred to this waiting room by the user to be able to take another (maybe more urgent) call.

• The number of waiting rooms is unlimited.

• Functional and Personal waiting rooms canbedefinedwithupto3priorities(low, medium, high) to indicate the urgency of a call.

• Wallboards are “iconized” representations of waiting rooms. For general and functional waiting rooms, the wallboard simply presents the name and number of calls in it. For a personal waiting room (position, role, function), it gives more information:

• The name of the logged in user

• The status of the user and the wait-ing room (e.g. not ready, in call conversation, etc…)

• Distri-Q contains an easy to use and complete voice CTI toolbar, which allows you to easily perform all common telephony operations.

• The toolbar is actually integrated within a CTI displayer zone of the application, showing you all relevant information about the call you are handling.

• You can position the caller using the geographical data which is available on the call by using the Google maps integration.

• This requires internet access from the agents workstation.

• AccessingGooglemapsissubjecttolegal restrictions and terms of use.
