How to set up through Neo.

STEP 1

Synchronize Technician Profiles

Ensure all technicians who should be considered for ticket assignment have their complete profiles synchronized with Neo, including their skills, specializations, and availability patterns.

STEP 2

Configure "Suggest Technician" Action

Set up the intelligent dispatch system by configuring which factors Neo should prioritize when matching tickets to technicians, such as technical expertise, current workload, availability windows, or customer relationships.

STEP 3

Customize Assignment Rules

Create detailed custom instructions to handle specific assignment scenarios (e.g., "Always assign tickets from Company XYZ to John Doe as he is the dedicated account manager" or "Prioritize Level 2 technicians for networking issues").

04Use case

Real Use Case: Intelligent Dispatch in Action

This example shows how Neo analyzes a dispatch decision in detail. Notice how Neo understands the current date, factors in weekends and holidays for deadlines, analyzes technician schedules (including out-of-office and existing commitments), considers company continuity and expertise, and even adjusts tentative calendar entries to efficiently schedule the new high-priority ticket. This demonstrates Neo's capability to make complex scheduling decisions with transparent reasoning.
