Agent Management
Overview
The Agent Workflow Console helps increase operational efficiency and reduces the cost of manual reviews. This feature addresses one of the largest fraud prevention costs for merchants: the training and maintenance of human risk assessment agents to manually review orders. Using a pattern-based rules engine and auto-decision routines, the Agent Workflow Console feature enables superior operational efficiencies when reviewing trans- action activities, evaluating risk, and managing human assets.
Operational Management
Comprehensive support and best practices to maximize operational efficiency.
Kount's Fraud Platform consist of the three main pillars of an overall fraud strategy, Fraud Detection, Strategy Management and Operational Management. Agent Management Intergration is just one of the many features in Kount's comprehensive solution.
The Solution
The Agent Workflow Console feature employs a number of tools that automate routine risk assessment tasks. For example, if Kount detects attributes in a transaction that indicate possible fraud, the Agent Workflow Console feature can invoke one or more rules, which can in turn trigger the “auto-decision” feature to take actions based on pre-defined merchant specifications.
Features like “auto-decision” help risk assessment agents more quickly determine whether an order is valid, or if a manual review is even necessary.
Merchants can also add third-party risk assessment functionality to the Agent Workflow Console, such as including real-time web links to data verification sources such as TARGUSinfo, LexisNexis and 192.com, enabling agents to seamlessly gather customer information through on-demand address and telephone verification.
The Kount web interface provides a number of risk assessment agent management tools—such as Workflow Metrics, which generates a detailed report on the departments’ workflow and Agent Metrics, which provides an analysis of any given agent’s activities—to help merchants better manage the risk assessment department by allocating resources more efficiently.
