Abstract

A system and a method for facilitating a processing of a service request is provided. The method includes: accessing a plurality of previously received service requests; receiving a first new service request; determining a handling protocol for the first new service request; adding the received first new service request to the plurality of previously received service requests to generate an updated list of open service requests; and displaying a listing of a least a subset of the updated list of open service requests. The handling protocol includes a priority ranking of the first new service request and an identification of a proposed technician for resolving the corresponding problem. The determination of the handling protocol is performed by assigning weights to each of a set of predefined parameters and algorithmically combining the assigned weights to obtain an overall priority score.
