Abstract

A method for managing customer interactions includes: receiving first proximity information relating to a proximity between an electronic communication device carried by a customer and a first proximity device located in a first location of a physical establishment associated with a customer contact center; creating an interaction object including data corresponding to the first proximity information; receiving, by the processor, second proximity information relating to a proximity between the electronic communication device and a second proximity device located in a second location; modifying the interaction object to include data corresponding to the second proximity information; storing the interaction object in a first data storage device, wherein data of contact center interactions between the customer and resources of the customer contact center is also stored; and retrieving the stored data of the interaction object and the data of contact center interactions for generating an output based on the retrieved data.
